Supplemental Restraint System - Side Air Curtain Module4-Door

Removal and Installation

Removal

1. WARNINGS:

A restraint control module (RCM) only requires replacement if the

system has incurred five separate deployments. At no time change an RCM
for less than five separate deployments.

Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental

restraints system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed

away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face

down. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of

sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so may

result in air bag deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be

replaced.

Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If

a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS is involved in a collision, inspect
the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If
damaged, install a new sensor whether or not the air bag is deployed. If
the body work is damaged this will have to be addressed.

To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the

backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air
bag SRS components. To deplete the backup power supply energy,
disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in personal injury.

• NOTE: Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the
new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry
out the diagnostic procedure again.

• NOTE: When installing a new air bag module, a prepaid return postcard
is provided with the replacement air bag module. The serial number for the
new part and the vehicle identification number (VIN) must be recorded and
sent to Jaguar Cars Ltd.
