Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT/INSPECTION AFTER SRS DEPLOYMENT

NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs, use the HDS method to check for DTCs; refer to the DTC Troubleshooting Index for the less obvious deployed parts (seat belt tensioners, front sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.).

After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed, replace these items:
- Seat belt tensioners
- SRS unit
- Front sensors

After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
- SRS unit
- Deployed airbag(s)
- Seat belt tensioners
- Front sensors

After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
- SRS unit
- Deployed side airbag(s)
- Side impact sensor(s) for side(s) deployed

During the repair process, inspect these areas:
- Inspect all the SRS wire harness. Replace, don't repair, any damaged harness.
- Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
- The operation of the front passenger's weight sensor unit must be checked after any of these actions.
- Replacement of front passenger's seat component(s)

If the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS to read the DTC. bag system is OK. If the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS to read the DTC.
