Wear safety glasses before servicing the power seat switch because this prevents injuries while working on vehicles equipped with
Air Bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) and handling the air bag module. Point the tear seam of the air bag module away from your body while holding it by the side and never rest it on the tear seam to lower the chance of injury. Handwashing with soap and water will eliminate any irritating sodium hydroxide residue that settles on your skin post-deployment. The connectors on the air bag module should not be touched in order to stop accidental deployments. A proper sensor orientation verification for SRS function should be completed before inspecting sensor mounting brackets and wiring pigtails after a collision for any form of deformation as damaged components need replacement regardless of air bag activation. Proceed with depleting the back up power supply by disconnecting the battery ground cable then waiting at least one minute before also disconnecting any auxiliary batteries and power supplies when present. Before you can access the seat you need to extract it from the vehicle followed by unfastening the recliner handle then reducing the seat trim cover screw to remove the trim cover and extract the seat control switch electrical connector before loosening screws that maintain the seat control switch. Start with reversing the steps for removal followed by testing the restraint system before performing proof tests on the air bag system.
