Before you touch the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), turn off the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) by detaching and isolating the negative
Battery Cable and then wait for the system capacitor to discharge for two minutes. Not striking or dropping the ORC is very important, since this can destroy the impact sensor and alter calibration settings; dropping the ORC means it must be swapped for a new one. The first step is to take out the
Center Console in the floor panel transmission tunnel. Following this, separate the wire harness connectors from the ORC connector receptacles found on the module's rearward side. As you remove the sound deadening from the S-Hoe's top floor panel transmission tunnel, you will see the three ORC fastener screws. Once you have bunched the ORC in the front, raise it enough so that the locating pins can be released and the ORC is freed from the bracket.
