  Q: How to Safely and Effectively Service an Air Bag Control Module on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  The first thing is to disconnect the negative cable from the battery to disable the supplemental restraint system, wait two minutes for the capacitor to empty, then service the Air Bag Control Module. Be sure not to strike or drop the occupant restraint controller, because it could damage the impact sensor and cause calibration issues; if it's dropped, the module needs to be swapped. Take out the footwell cover from on top of the instrument panel center support. If you need to, take away the hot Air Duct that runs from under the instrument panel on the right to the passenger compartment. After that, remove the wiring connectors from both vehicles and separate them from the ORC connector receptacles on the right side of the module. Remove the three screws holding the ORC to the bracket welded beneath the instrument panel and then take the ORC out of the bracket.

  Q: How to Safely and Correctly Install an Air Bag Control Module on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  The main safety tip is to disable the supplement part of the restraint system by removing the negative Battery Cable, waiting two minutes and insulating the cable. Manage the controller gently, so it doesn't get struck or dropped; a falling impact sensor will destroy it, requiring a replacement. Attach the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) onto the ORC bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel, putting its bottom exactly in line with the bracket and attached so that the orange arrow indicator points forward. Lock the ORC onto the bracket using three screws that you tighten to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.). Snap the two wire harness plug ends into the ORC jack sockets and confirm the locks are firmly locked. Should you have one, fit the hot Air Duct back into the passenger area under the dash. Cover the center support under the instrument panel with the footwell cover. Do not attach the negative side of the battery cable yet, because a verification test for the air bag system must be done following any service to any air bag component. It is necessary to use a diagnostic scan tool to set up the new ORC, so that the vehicle's safety systems are restored when a replacement ORC is fitted.
