Service Procedure [Continued] Figure 35 – Turning Loop Bolt RETAINER BOLT SPACER WASHER Safety Recall Z07 – Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain Inflator Page 18 WARNING: Do not connect the negative battery cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Verification Test procedure should be performed following service of any SRS component. NOTE: The following procedure should be performed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify proper Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) operation following the service or replacement of any SRS component. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures. 58. During the following test, the negative cable remains disconnected and isolated from the battery, as it was during the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component removal and installation procedures. 59. Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic software. Connect the scan tool to the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument panel, near the steering column opening cover and outboard of the steering column. 60. Transition the status of the ignition switch (also known as the Keyless Ignition Node/KIN or IGnition Node Module/IGNM) to ON and exit the vehicle with the scan tool. 61. Check to be certain that nobody is in the vehicle, then connect the negative cable to the battery. Service Procedure [Continued] Safety Recall Z07 – Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain Inflator Page 19 62. Using the scan tool, read and record the active (current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data. 63. Next, use the scan tool to read and record any stored (historical) DTC data. 64. If any SRS related DTC is found in the previous two steps, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. 65. Use the scan tool to erase the stored DTC data. If any problems remain, the stored DTC data will not erase. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to diagnose any stored DTC that will not erase. If the stored DTC information is successfully erased, continue to the next step. 66. Transition the status of the ignition switch to OFF for about 15 seconds, and then back to ON. Observe the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster. It should light from four to six seconds, and then go out. This indicates that the SRS is functioning normally and that the repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to light, or lights and stays ON, there is still an active SRS fault or malfunction. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to diagnose the problem. 67. Install the front seat headrests (Figure 16). 68. Position the locating tab of the A-pillar trim panel (2) into the slot located in the top of the instrument panel (Figure 15). 69.

Service Procedure [Continued] Figure 36 – A-Pillar Figure 37 – Head Rest Safety Recall Z07 – Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain Inflator Page 21 5. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first before disconnecting the negative battery cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service. WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when removing a deployed airbag, rubber gloves, eye protection, and a long-sleeved shirt should be worn. There may be deposits on the airbag unit and other interior surfaces. In large doses, these deposits may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, use extreme care to prevent any foreign material from entering the side curtain airbag, or becoming entrapped between the side curtain airbag cushion and the headliner. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant injuries upon airbag deployment. NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged side curtain airbag (also known as Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain/SABIC). If the airbag is ineffective or damaged, but not deployed, review local ordinances regarding recommended procedures for handling and disposal of Non-Deployed Supplemental Restraints. NOTE: If a side curtain airbag is being removed, but has not been deployed, the headliner does not need to be removed from the passenger compartment. Lowering the headliner and resting it on the seat backs will allow enough clearance to remove the side curtain airbag from the vehicle.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain Dear [Name], This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. FCA US has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2021-2022 (DS) Ram 1500 Pickup, (DJ) Ram 2500 Pickup, (D2) Ram 3500 Pickup] vehicles. It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? Your vehicle [1] may have been built with a Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) assembly containing an inflator with out of specification propellant gas mass. SABIC assemblies with low gas mass may result in non-deployment or low/slow deployment and high gas mass may result in aggressive deployment of the air bag which may increase the risk of occupant injury in certain crashes. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect and if necessary, replace one or both SABIC’s as needed. The estimated repair time is 3 hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
