INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with the Electronic Pedestrian Protection (EPP) system, disable the system before attempting any EPP system component diagnosis or service. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, 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 EPP system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental active hood hinge actuator deployment.

NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged Electronic Pedestrian Protection Module (EPPM). If the Electronic Pedestrian Protection (EPP) system has been deployed, review the recommended procedures for Service After A Pedestrian Protection Deployment before removing the unit from the vehicle. Service and Repair .





1. Carefully position the Electronic Pedestrian Protection Module (EPPM) and bracket unit (1) over the four weld studs on the floor panel under the left front seat.
2. Install and tighten the four nuts (3) that secure the EPPM mounting bracket to the four weld studs on the floor panel. Tighten the nuts to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the two body wire harness connectors (2) to the EPPM connector receptacles located on the inboard facing side of the module. Be certain that the latches on both connectors are each fully engaged.





4. Position the EPPM cover (1) over the top of the EPPM (2) and press it downward firmly and evenly until both latch features snap into place in the slots in the base of the EPPM housing.
5. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Verification Test procedure should be performed following service of any EPP system component. Service and Repair.
