WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or center floor console in any way. Do not use any prior year, subsequent year, secondary or aftermarket seat trim covers. At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or OCS component be modified or replaced with any part except those which are specified for the particular vehicle application in the Chrysler Mopar Parts Catalog. Failure to observe these precautions could cause an OCS miscalibration condition, which may result in the passenger airbag failing to deploy when required or deploying when not required.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the passenger side front seat assembly to which the sensors are secured as it can damage the sensors or affect their calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat assembly must be handled with care to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any loads upon a passenger side front seat while it is removed from its mounts in or outside of the vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged, replace the sensor with a new and unused unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while removed from its mounts, replace each of the seat weight sensors with new and unused units. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front supplemental restraint deployment.
CAUTION: Special Tool 9689A must be used to secure the body of the seat weight sensor from any rotation during removal or installation of the nut that secures the sensor stud to the seat adjuster riser. In addition, the sensor fasteners should always be serviced using hand tools ONLY, and not electric or pneumatic power tools. Failure to observe these precautions may result in irreversible sensor damage and require sensor replacement.
