Occupant Restraint Controller: Installation

WARNING: Do not install ORC if mounting location is deformed or damaged. This will cause the ORC to be improperly located and could result in occupant personal injury or death.

WARNING: Never replace both the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) at the same time. If both require replacement, replace one, then perform the Airbag System test (Refer to AIRBAG SYSTEM ). before replacing the other. Both the ORC and the OCM store Occupant Classification System (OCS) calibration data, which they transfer to one another when one of them is replaced. If both are replaced at the same time, an irreversible fault will be set in both modules and the OCS may malfunction and result in personal injury or death.
