Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing a supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.

NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
- The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. Position the seat to gain access to the fasteners.
2. Depower the SRS.
3. Remove the driver and passenger seats.
- For installation, while positioning the driver and passenger seats, make sure the center seat safety belt and buckle anchors are positioned to go through the seat mounting studs.

4. Remove the front center seat.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Make sure the safety belts and buckles are accessible to the occupants after installation.

6. Repower the SRS.
