Attachment III - Technical Information

OVERVIEW

Vehicles in this program may require replacement of the restraint control module (RCM). The serial number of the RCM must be matched against the list of affected RCM's to determine if replacement is required. The serial number is on the bar code label located on the RCM. Some disassembly of the vehicle is required to access the RCM, but it is not necessary to remove the RCM to read the serial number. This procedure gives you detail for inspecting the serial number and refers you to the Workshop Manual for instruction on replacement of the RCM.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Remove the ashtray assembly from the instrument panel.

NOTE:
If the RCM is replaced, mutilate and discard the original RCM to prevent it from being installed on another vehicle.





2. Roll back the carpet to access the RCM. Record the serial number from the RCM. See Figure 1.

^ If the serial number is listed in the Affected Serial Number Chart, replace the RCM. Refer to the service procedure in section 501-20B in the appropriate Workshop Manual.

^ If the serial number is NOT listed in the Affected Serial Number Chart on, replacement of the RCM is not required.

3. Reposition the carpet and install the ashtray assembly.
