  Q: How to Service an Air Bag Control Module for Side Impact on Chrysler LHS?

  A:

  To service the Side Impact air bag Control Module, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable remote terminal. Also, take off the lower B-pillar trim on the side where it is located. Cut the electrical power to the module, using the side impact air bag control module disconnect and then remove the Siacm by taking out its retaining screws. To install, first place the Siacm in the B-pillar, then bolt the retaining screws until you reach 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) of torque. Hook up the Siacm plug and place the lower B-pillar trim into its position. You should not connect the battery negative cable remote terminal until you finish the air bag system diagnostics and tests.

  Q: How to Safely Replace the Air Bag Control Module in a Five-Passenger on Chrysler LHS?

  A:

  The first step to changing the Air Bag Control Module in a five-passenger vehicle is unplugging the negative Battery Cable from its remote terminal to stop the air bag system from accidentally triggering. It is recommended to remove the Instrument Panel before proceeding on a Concorde. To take out the bezel, unscrew one screw from the knob, two from the bezel itself and undo the plug connected to the outlet. After that, take off the left endcap of the instrument panel, remove the two screws from the steering column cover and remove the cover toward the back of the car. Open the Glove Box and extend it downward to see the screws on either side of the left end of the glove box bin. Disconnect the right side panel and remove two screws from the left side panel before you can lift the left panel off. Since the Occupant Restraint Controller is open, use the red Connector Position Assurance tab to eject it, press on the locking latch and pull out the 23-way connector. After removing the side driver's screws, loosen the top one, raise the module until the ORC slips out and then check the passenger side. While installing, put the arrow on the ORC toward the front of the bracket and screw it in place, tightening to 88 to 124 in.lbs. (10 to 14 N.m). While putting things back together, remember to skip connecting the negative battery cable remote terminal until the air bag system check is finished.
