- Install the 4 RCM bracket bolts.
- Tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
- Make sure the large RCM electrical connector position assurance lever is in the full release position before attempting to connect the connector.
- Position the large RCM connector into the RCM.
- With the large RCM electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a audible click is heard and a slight resistance is felt.
- Connect the large RCM electrical connector.
- Using the connector position assurance lever, pivot it toward the RCM, drawing the connector into the RCM.
- Make sure the thumb tab is engaged to the retainer on the RCM and locked in place.
- Connect the small RCM electrical connector.
- Install the utility compartment and 4 scrivets.

WARNING:
The tightening torque of the air bag restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is critical for correct system operation.
CAUTION:
Putting the large RCM electrical connector into the RCM on an angle can cause bad electrical connections and damage components.
CAUTION:
Do not push the electrical connector on to where the lever pivots and seats itself. Light pressure is needed to get the connector into position on the RCM before using the lever to fully seat the connector.
