Restraints Control Module (RCM)
WARNING:
Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the RCM while the 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 RCM and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new 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 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 RCM.
The RCM requires PMI when being replaced. Refer to the scan tool instructions to carry out PMI. REFER to PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION (PMI) .
