Collision Diagnosis

COLLISION DIAGNOSIS

For Frontal Collision
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.

When SRS (except the front side air bag and side curtain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules), crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents,cracks and deformation).

4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-22, "SRS Operation Check (USER MODE)" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly. Component Tests and General Diagnostics

When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).

2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-22, "SRS Operation Check (USER MODE)" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly. Component Tests and General Diagnostics

When only one front air bag module is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the following components:
- Diagnosis sensor unit
- Crash zone sensor
- Activated front air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.

2. Check the other SRS components using the table below (Refer to "SRS is NOT activated").
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).

3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-22, "SRS Operation Check (USER MODE)" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly. Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Only one front air bag may inflate a crash, depending on the crash severity and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. This does not indicate improper performance of the system. Perform self-diagnosis to check that the entire SRS operates properly.

SRS INSPECTION (FOR FRONTAL COLLISION)









For Side Collision

WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAG IS ACTIVATED IN THE SIDE COLLISION:
1. Replace the following components:
- All parts of front seatback (including front seatback frame) with front side air bag module (on the side on which front side air bag is activated)
- Curtain air bag module (on the side on which side curtain airbag is activated)
- Diagnosis sensor unit
- Satellite sensor (on the side on which side air bag and side curtain air bag is activated)

2. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the following table.
- Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).

3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-22, "SRS Operation Check (USER MODE)". Ensure entire SRS operates properly. Component Tests and General Diagnostics

WHEN SRS IS NOT ACTIVATED IN THE SIDE COLLISION:
1. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the following table.
- Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).

2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III or air bag warning lamp. Refer to SRS-22, "SRS Operation Check (USER MODE)". Ensure entire SRS operates properly. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
