  1. E1 CHECK THE SEAT OPERATION 
    WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system repair only. Remove from the vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in personal injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
    NOTE: If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    NOTE: The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the key is in the ON position. This is normal operation and does not indicate an SRS fault.
    NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
    • Depower the SRS. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) DEPOWERING AND REPOWERING .
    • For vehicles equipped with seat side air bags, carry out the following:
