NOTES:
^ The service procedure is the same for the driver's seat and the passenger's seat.

^ This procedure must be performed on both front seats.





1. The ignition key should already be off and the battery negative terminal should already be removed before continuing. Remove the headrest.





2. Tilt the seat back as shown in the photo, disconnect the yellow side air bag (SAB) connector and remove the wire tie from the front of the seat frame. Detach any other wiring as necessary.





3. Turn the seat upside down in the vehicle.





4. Remove the existing wire ties from the side air bag wire harness under the seat.





5. Unhook the seat cushion fabric on the "outside" edge of the seat.





6. Mark the 3 points to be drilled on the seat frame. The middle point will be below the seat fabric, just ahead of the indentation. The front and rear locations are inside the edge of the seat frame in the comer. Use a 9/32" (7 mm) drill bit.





The middle hole is 7/8" from the flange edge, 1/4" forward of the depression, as shown in the photo.

7. Use a 9/32" (7 mm) drill bit and a drill stop to drill the holes in the seat frame.





NOTE
A drill stop is required. Fuel hose or vacuum hose can be used. Do not allow the drill to penetrate the seat frame by more than 1".





NOTE
Vacuum the loose metal chips.





8. Insert wire ties (2) into the middle and rear holes.

9. Position the connector about midway between the front and middle holes and secure the SAB wire in the middle and rear wire ties. Trim the extra wire tie lengths.





10. Turn the seat upright, then tilt it back as shown in the photo.





11. Wrap electrical tape around the end of the floor wire harness corrugated tubing, over the wire, right up onto the bottom of the connector.

NOTE
After taping, the individual wires should not be visible.





12. Insert a wire tie (2) into the front hole.

13. Reconnect the SAB module connector.

14. Secure the air bag wire from the floor in the front wire tie. Trim the extra wire tie length.

15. Reattach the seat cushion fabric so it covers the connector.





16. Lower the seat into its mounting position.

17. Repeat the procedure for the other seat.
