Electronic Pedestrian Protection Module - Installation

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.
