Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in this section.
The airbag restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed and
the airbag modules reconnected when the system is reactivated to
avoid non-deployment in a collision, resulting in possible personal
injury.

 WARNING: 

Never probe the connectors on the airbag

module. Doing so can result in airbag deployment, which can result in
personal injury.

 WARNING: 

The safety belt buckle pretensioner is a

pyrotechnic device. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector.
Doing so could result in pretensioner or airbag deployment and could
result in personal injury.

 WARNING: 

Never probe the electrical connector on a side

airbag module. Doing so can result in side airbag deployment.

NOTE:

Diagnostics or repairs are not to be performed on a seat

equipped with a seat side airbag with the seat in the vehicle. Prior to
attempting to diagnose or repair a seat concern when equipped with a seat
side airbag, the seat must be removed from the vehicle and the restraint
system diagnostic tools must be installed in the seat side airbag electrical
connectors. The restraint system diagnostic tools must be removed
prior to operating the vehicle over the road.

NOTE:

After diagnosing or repairing an SRS, the restraint system

diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over
the road.

NOTE:

After diagnosing or repairing a seat system, the restraint system

diagnostic tools must be removed before operating the vehicle over
the road.

NOTE:

The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before

releasing the vehicle to the customer.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

Pinpoint Test U: No Communication With

The Restraints Control Module (RCM)

Normal Operation

The scan tool communicates with the restraints

control module (RCM) through the diagnostics

connector pin, circuit 70 (SB/W).

Possible Causes

A no communication fault with the RCM can be

caused by:

damaged wiring, terminals, or connectors.
a faulty diagnostics connector.
a faulted RCM.
