DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS

CD1: CHECK THE RCM GROUND CIRCUIT

WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment, the RCM backup power supply must be

depleted. Wait at least one minute after disconnecting the battery ground cable(s) before
commencing any repair or adjustment to the SRS, or any component(s) adjacent to the
SRS sensors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
NOTE: CHECK that the PAD switch is in the air bag live position before carrying out this
test.

Deactivate the SRS.

1

Check the RCM electrical connectors.

2

Are the RCM electrical connectors fully engaged?
Yes

Check the RCM installation.
REFER to:

Restraints Control Module (RCM)

(501-20B Supplemental

Restraint System, Removal and Installation).
REPEAT the self-test, CLEAR the DTCs. REACTIVATE the system. If the
DTC remains, INSTALL a new RCM.
REFER to:

General Procedures

WARNINGS:

If there is a break between installing the clockspring and steering wheel rotation

sensor assembly and installing the steering wheel, the centralizing of the clockspring
must be repeated.

If the centralization of the clockspring is in doubt, the centralizing of the clockspring

must be repeated.

CAUTION: The clockspring and steering wheel rotation sensor assembly must not be

rotated in a couterclockwise direction more than the specified revolutions.
NOTE: Make sure that the road wheels are in the straight ahead position.

1.

1. Turn the clockspring rotor in a clockwise

direction until a resistance is felt.

2. Turn the clockspring in a counterclockwise

direction 2.5 revolutions.

2.

Check to see if the yellow roller is visible in
the clockspring window.
Using a suitable piece of tape, secure the
clockspring rotor to the clockspring body.

General Procedures

WARNING: After deployment, the air bag module surface may contain deposits of

sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generate combustion, that is irritating to the skin.
Use protective gloves when handling any deployed air bag module. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.

1. Remove the deployed air bag module(s). For

additional information, refer to the relevant
procedure in this section.

2. Seal the deployed air bag module(s) in the

packaging from the new air bag module(s) or a
suitable polythene bag, and then dispose of in
accordance with local contaminated waste
regulations.
