3. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
4. Wait 1 minute before working on system.
PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT
With Frontal Air Bag Deployment:• Inflatable restraint steering wheel module [Airbag, Steering Wheel] (If deployed)
• Inflatable restraint instrument panel module [Airbag, Instrument Panel] (If deployed)
• Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) [Module, Airbag Control]
• Inflatable restraint front end sensors
• Inflatable restraint seat belt pretensioners
• Seat belt system in use during a collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult side, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages. Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with the buckle, guide and retractor assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material.
• Any damaged restraint system part
Sensor Replacement Guidelines:
The SIR/side or frontal air bag sensors replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle impacts a tree. If the vehicle has an SIR sensor mounted forward of the radiator, it must be replaced. Replace the sensor whether or not the air bags have deployed. Replace the sensor even if it appears to be undamaged.
CAUTION: Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that all parts in need of replacement are replaced:
Replace any seat belt system that was in use during a collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages.
Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components, if any.
Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a yellow tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt system if only the child seat caution label is visible.
Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any restraint system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints and booster seats.
Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with
the buckle, guide and retractor assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material.
After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged.
Warning: Proper operation of the SIR sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment in a collision or deployment for conditions less severe than intended.
With Side Air Bag Deployment:
• Inflatable restraint side impact sensors (SIS), left/right, on the side of the impact
• Inflatable restraint roof rail module, left/right, on the side of the impact (If deployed)
• Inflatable restraint side impact module [Airbag, Front Seat] on the side of impact (If deployed)
• Inflatable restraint SDM
• Inflatable restraint seat belt retractor pretensioners
• Seat belt system in use during a collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult side, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages.
