Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag 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.
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.
- 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.
- If a side air bag deployment took place, a new seatback pad, trim cover and side air bag module must be installed. The seatback frame should be replaced if necessary.
- When installing a new climate control seat module (CCSM), it is necessary to carry out programmable module installation (PMI).

1. Before removing the CCSM, carry out the appropriate steps in the programmable module installation (PMI) procedure.
2. Remove the affected seat and depower the SRS.
3. Disconnect the climate controlled seat module.
4. Remove the 2 screws and the climate controlled seat module.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
6. Install the affected seat and repower the SRS.
7. Install the CCSM software data. Carry out the appropriate steps in the PMI procedure.
