Install the SRS unit with new TORX bolts (A) using a TORX T30 bit, then connect the connectors (B) to the SRS unit; push them into position until they click.

Reconnect both seat belt tensioner connectors (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see USING THE GR8 BATTERY DIAGNOSTIC STATION ).
Make sure the SRS unit has the latest software. If it does not have the latest, update the software in the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT UPDATE ).
Do the front passenger's weight sensor initialization (see FRONT PASSENGER'S WEIGHT SENSOR INITIALIZATION ).
Check the operation of the ODS unit with the HDS (see ODS UNIT OPERATION CHECK ).
Confirm proper SRS operation: Turn the ignition switch to ON (II); the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.
Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
