PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component
deployment must have the deployed restraints replaced:

If the driver airbag is deployed:
• Driver airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• Clockspring
• Steering Column Assembly including Intermediate Shaft/Coupler
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use

If the passenger airbag is deployed:
• Passenger airbag [AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL]
• Passenger airbag door
• Passenger Airbag wiring harness or connector if available (Must use approved wire crimping tool and splices)

If a seat (pelvic and thorax) airbag has been deployed:
• Seat airbag [AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT]
• Seat back trim cover
• Seat back foam
• Seat back frame
• Seat wire harness
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag

If a side curtain airbag is deployed:
• Side curtain airbag [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• Headliner
• Upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• All Seat Belt Retractors and Buckles in use
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag

If a seat belt tensioner is deployed • The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front airbags, but can also be deployed with Seat AirBags (SAB) (also known as pelvic and thoracic airbags) or side curtain airbags (also known as Side AirBag Inflatable Curtains/SABIC). The seat belt tensioners must be replaced if either front airbag has been deployed, and must be inspected if either SAB or side curtain airbag has been deployed.

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

• Following ANY major vehicle impact damage in the vicinity of an impact sensor or the ORC • It is critical that the mounting surfaces and mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), front impact sensors and side impact sensors located within the proximity of the impact damage be closely inspected and restored to their original conditions. [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL; AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT; Side sensors: AIRBAG SENSOR,SIDE; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

• Deployed Active Head Restraint (AHR) units that are undamaged are designed with the intention of reuse. However, the deployed AHR units must be properly reset following deployment
• All seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage
• Connected wiring (squib circuits) and connector insulators
• Lower anchors and tether for children (LATCH) and upper tether anchors (if equipped)
• Inspect all trim panels

When Driver Airbag has deployed:
• Steering Wheel

When Passenger Airbag has deployed:
• Instrument Panel

When Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• Sunroof
• Sunroof Drain Tubes and Hoses
• Seat Belt Tensioners

• All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any SRS component deployment, but are to be replaced only as required by the extent of the visible damage incurred.

There are two methods by which an airbag or seat belt tensioner may be connected to the vehicle electrical system:
1) The first method involves a short pigtail harness and connector insulator that are integral to the airbag or tensioner unit and are replaced as a unit with the service replacement airbag or seat belt tensioner. This connection method typically requires no additional wiring repair following a deployment.
2) The second connection method involves a wire harness takeout and connector insulator that are connected directly to the airbag or tensioner initiator or squib. These direct-connect type take outs and connector insulators MUST be repaired following an airbag or seat belt tensioner deployment using the approved Supplemental Restraint System Wiring Repairs procedure
