Airbag Control Module: Installation

WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER STRIKE OR DROP THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE, AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE IMPACT SENSOR OR AFFECT ITS CALIBRATION. THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CONTAINS THE IMPACT SENSOR, WHICH ENABLES THE SYSTEM TO DEPLOY THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS. IF AN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED DURING SERVICE, THE MODULE MUST BE SCRAPPED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL, INCOMPLETE, OR IMPROPER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT.
  1. Position the Airbag Control Module (ACM) beneath the instrument panel.
  2. Reconnect the body wire harness connector for the ACM to the ACM connector receptacle located on the forward facing side of the module. Be certain that both connector latches and the white Connector Positive Assurance (CPA) locks are fully engaged. See Figure.
  3. Position the ACM to the mounting bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel. When the ACM is correctly positioned, the locator pins on the bottom of the ACM mounting flanges will be engaged in the locating holes in the mounting bracket, and the arrow on the ACM label will be pointed forward in the vehicle. See Figure.
  4. Install and tighten the four screws that secure the ACM to the mounting bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel. Tighten the screws to 14 N.m (125 in. lbs.).
  5. On models equipped with the optional ABS brakes, reinstall the acceleration switch onto the left side of the mounting bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel. (Refer to BRAKES/ELECTRICAL/G-SWITCH - INSTALLATION) .
  6. Restore the carpet on the right and left sides of the floor panel transmission tunnel to its proper position beneath the instrument panel.
  7. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should be performed following service of any supplemental restraint system component. Refer to VERIFICATION TEST .
