Restraints Control Module (RCM)
WARNING:
Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the Restraints Control Module (RCM) while the Restraints Control Module (RCM) is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy® and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the Restraints Control Module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new Restraints Control Module (RCM) and sensors must be installed whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE:
This vehicle may be equipped with the SYNC® feature which contains the 911 Assist® option. Refer to the Owner's Literature.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the air bags in the event the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply depletes its stored energy approximately one minute after power and/or ground has been removed from the Restraints Control Module (RCM).
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) requires Programmable Module Installation (PMI) when being replaced. Refer to the scan tool instructions to carry out Programmable Module Installation (PMI).
