REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTES
•

If the VIN status inquiry indicates that the vehicle is subject to any open safety recalls, make sure to also
complete those recall repairs before returning the vehicle to the customer. If you are unable to complete
any open recall, have the service advisor notify the customer of the recall status and when the recall could
be completed.

•

Be careful not to damage any parts when replacing the module, and follow the procedure exactly .

•

Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio and navigation system (if applicable), then write down the
frequencies for the audio unit’s preset buttons.

•

If, before removing the airbag, you suspect that it may be the incorrect airbag for the vehicle or a counterfeit, do not
remove the airbag. Contact your DPSM for assistance.

•

Do not open the new module box until you have confirmed the vehicle's module is not counterfeit because if you
have to return the new module, the kit must be unopened.
