CAUTION:
Be sure to correctly follow the removal and installation procedures for the airbag sensor assembly.

1. INSPECT AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY (for Vehicle not Involved in Collision)

(a) Perform a diagnostic system check.

for Separate Type Yaw Rate Sensor: Separate Type Yaw Rate Sensor

for Built-in Type Yaw Rate Sensor: Built-in Type Yaw Rate Sensor

2. INSPECT AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY (for Vehicle Involved in Collision and Airbag not Deployed)

(a) Perform a diagnostic system check.

for Separate Type Yaw Rate Sensor: Separate Type Yaw Rate Sensor

for Built-in Type Yaw Rate Sensor: Built-in Type Yaw Rate Sensor

(b) Visually check for defects with the airbag sensor assembly installed on the vehicle.

(1) The defects are as follows:

* Cracks on the sensor housing

* Dents on the sensor housing

* Chips on the sensor housing

* Cracks or other damage to the connector

* Peeling of the label

No defects are found.

If any of the defects is found, replace the airbag sensor assembly with a new one.

3. INSPECT AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY (for Vehicle Involved in Collision and Airbag is Deployed)

(a) Replace the airbag sensor assembly.

HINT
The airbag sensor assembly should be replaced after any of the airbags has deployed, as it has been subjected to an impact.
