NOTE:
- If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side airbag system is being serviced the airbag system must be deactivated per the deactivation procedure contained in Air Bag Systems.
- Airbag simulators (restraint system diagnostic tools) MUST be installed under the seats in the side airbag to floor connector.
- Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a side airbag system with the seat in the vehicle. Prior to attempting to diagnose/repair the side airbag system the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint system diagnostic tool must be installed in side airbag connector at the floor connector. The restraint system diagnostic tool must be removed prior to operating the vehicle.
- Diagnostics may be performed on seat systems other than the side airbag system (lumbar, climate controlled, heated, power seat track) with the seat installed in the vehicle as long as the restraint system diagnostic tool is installed under the seat in the side airbag to floor connector.
- After diagnosing/repairing a seat system the restraint system diagnostic tool must be removed before operating the vehicle.
- Before disconnecting the battery, raise the seat to the highest position, then move and tilt the seat to its most forward position.
