CAUTION: Be careful when you handle an inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS) or inflatable restraint side impact sensing module (SISM). Do not strike or jolt the SIS or SISM. Before applying power to the SIS or SISM:

1. Disable the frontal SIR system and the RH side air bag. Refer to Disabling the SIR System .
2. Remove the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) (3) from the inflatable restraint Side Impact Sensing Module (SISM) harness connector (4).



3. Disconnect the SDM harness connector (4) from the SISM (5).



4. Remove the SISM mounting fasteners (3).
5. Remove the SISM (4) from the door (5).

1. Install the SISM (4) to the door (5).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the SISM mounting fasteners (3).

Tighten
Tighten fasteners to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




3. Install the SISM harness connector (4) to the SISM (5).



4. Install the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) (3) to the SISM harness (4) connector.
5. Enable the frontal SIR system and the RH side air bag. Refer to Enabling the SIR System .
