The side air bag sensors on the vehicle audience are installed near the base of the B-pillar foundation. The service technician must deactivate the seat-mounted side air bag system through its proper procedure during seat service operations. air bag simulators need to be placed underneath seats in the side air bag to floor connector while all side air bag system diagnostics along with repairs must take place when the seat is fully removed from the car. The diagnostic process for lumbar and other seat systems such as climate-controlled heating or power track functions requires the restraint system diagnostic tool for operation even though the seat remains installed. The driver needs to remove the restraint system diagnostic tool before driving the car after finishing diagnostic or repair tasks. First disconnect the battery ground cable followed by SRS deactivation before you remove the affected seat through unscrewing its latch handle and pulling disconnecting the connectors from the seat control and climate control switches. Disassemble the vehicle by extracting screws together with the pin-type retainer and then remove the side shield and power lumbar switch. The last step includes separating the seat control switch from the side shield of the vehicle. The installation process requires vehicle return to operational state first which includes reinstallation of the seat and SRS reactivation as well as the removal of all restraint system diagnostic tools before confirming proper active system operation.
