Installation

1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
   

1. Prove out the SRS by turning the ignition from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition back to ON and monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bags installed. The air bag warning indicator illuminates continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turns off. If a SRS fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will fail to light, remain lit continuously, or flash.
   

1. The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned from OFF to ON. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the testing of the SRS . If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime sounds in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, diagnose and repair the air bag warning indicator and any SRS faults.
   

1. Clear all continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the RCM and OCSM using a diagnostic scan tool.
