After a collision with frontal air bag deployment, Perform additional inspections on the following components:

• Steering wheel air bag coil and the coil wiring pigtail--Inspect for melting, scorching, or other damage due to excessive heat.
• Mounting points or mounting hardware for the I/P module, steering wheel module, SDM, front end sensors, seat belt pretensioners, and vehicle rollover sensor--Inspect for any damage and repair or replace each component as needed.
• Passenger Presence System (PPS) for damage to the wiring or pressure system

After a collision involving side air bag deployment, Perform additional inspections on the following components:

• Mounting points or mounting hardware for the SIS, roof rail module (left/right), and seat belt pretensioner on the side of impact--Inspect for any damage and repair or replace each
component as needed.
• Mounting points or mounting hardware for the SDM and vehicle rollover sensor--Inspect for any damage and repair or replace each component as needed.

• Replace any seat belt system that was in use during the collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners.
