CAUTION: Be careful when you handle a sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Do
not strike or jolt the SDM. Before applying power to the SDM:
• Remove any dirt, grease, etc. from the mounting surface • Position the SDM horizontally on the mounting surface • Point the arrow on the SDM toward the front of the vehicle • Tighten all of the SDM fasteners and SDM bracket fasteners to
the specified torque value
Removal Procedure
- Disable the SIR system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System .
- Remove the lower center console (1). Refer to Console Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Console.
- Push in the locking tab (3) and release the connector position assurance (CPA) (4) from the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic and seat belt pretensioner module (SDM) wiring harness connector (5).
- Disconnect the SDM wiring harness connector (5) from the SDM (1).
- Remove the fasteners (1) from the SDM.
- Remove the SDM from the vehicle.
Installation Procedure
Important: The replacement inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic and seat
belt pretensioner module (SDM) must be programmed for use in the vehicle using
a scan tool. Depending on the vehicle model year and options, the SDM may
be programmed for one of the two following configurations:
• Driver & Pass -- If the vehicle is equipped with frontal
air bags and seat belt pretensioners. • Driv Pass & Side -- If the vehicle is equipped with frontal
air bags, side air bags and seat belt pretensioners.
- Install the SDM (7) to the vehicle. Ensure that the arrow on the SDM points toward the front of the vehicle.
- Install the fasteners (2) to the SDM.
- Install the SDM wiring harness connector (5).
- Engage and lock the SDM connector position assurance (CPA) (4).
- Install the lower center console. Refer to Console Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Console.
- Enable the SIR system. Refer to Enabling the SIR System .
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Use only hand tools to tighten the fasteners to 10 N·m
(89 lb in).
