PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT:

If Driver Airbag has deployed:
• Driver airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• Clockspring [CLOCK SPRING/LVR,STRG]
• Steering Column Assembly including Intermediate Shaft/Coupler
• Both front seat belt anchor tensioners
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• Any front seat belt buckle in use
• All rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use

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

If Inflatable Knee Blocker has deployed:
• knee blocker airbag [AIRBAG,KNEE BOLSTER]
• Instrument panel steering column opening cover

If Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• Curtain Airbag Assembly [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• Upper A, B and C-pillar trim on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,SIDE]
• Headliner
• Both front seat belt anchor tensioners
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• Any front seat belt buckle in use
• All rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use

If Seat Airbag has deployed:
• Seat airbag [AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT], deployed
• Seat Back Frame, deployed side
• Seat Back Foam, deployed side
• Seat Back Trim Cover, deployed side
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,SIDE]
• Both front seat belt anchor tensioners
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• Any front seat belt buckle in use
• All rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use

If a seat belt tensioner is deployed:
• The seat belt retractor and anchor tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front airbags. All seat belt tensioners and anchor tensioners must be replaced if any airbag in the vehicle except the driver KAB has been deployed.
• Both front seat belt anchor tensioners
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• Any front seat belt buckle in use
• All rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use

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; AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,SIDE]

• Active Head Restraint units that are undamaged are designed with the intention of reuse
• Lower anchors and tether for children (LATCH) and upper tether anchors (if equipped)
• Inspect all interior trim panels

When Driver Airbag has deployed:
• Front Impact Sensors
• Steering Wheel

When Inflatable Knee Blocker has deployed:
• Instrument Panel

When Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• The deploy brackets on the B-pillar and C-pillar for the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag must be closely inspected following a side curtain airbag deployment.

When Seat Airbag has deployed:
• Seat Belt Tensioners

• All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any supplemental restraint 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
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.
