Module, Hands Free (HFM): Installation
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbags, airbag curtains, knee blocker, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, 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 SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Position the Hands Free Module (HFM) (1) close enough to the instrument panel to access and connect the instrument panel wire harness connectors to the HFM connector receptacles.
- Position the HFM to the instrument panel support structure.
- Install and tighten the two screws (2) that secure the HFM to the instrument panel support structure. Tighten the screws securely.
- Install the center bezel (1) onto the instrument panel. Refer to BEZEL, INSTRUMENT PANEL, CENTER, INSTALLATION .
- Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), connect the IBS connector.
