PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

When any deployable device or combination of devices have deployed and/or the Restraints Control Module (RCM) has DTC B1231/B1193:00 (Event Threshold Exceeded) in memory, the repair of the vehicle SRS is to include the removal of all deployed devices and the installation of new deployable devices, the removal and installation of new impact sensors and the removal and installation of a new RCM.

Removal of all deployed devices and the installation of new deployable
devices: [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL; AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL; AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT; AIRBAG,ROOF]

Removal and installation of new impact sensors and the removal and installation of a new
RCM: [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT; AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL; MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]

Additionally:
When the driver air bag module has deployed, a new clockspring must be installed.

If a side seat air bag deployment took place, a new seat backrest foam pad, backrest cover, deployment chute and side air bag module and nuts must be installed. The seat backrest frame should be replaced if necessary.

Anytime the Safety Canopy or side air curtain module has deployed, a new headliner and new A-, B• and C-pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be installed. Remove any other damaged components and hardware and install new components and hardware as needed.

New driver front safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the driver front safety belt pretensioners.

New passenger front safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed if the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the passenger front safety belt pretensioners.

Install new safety belt(s) at any seating position(s) where deployment has occurred and the safety
belt(s) were used.

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

When a vehicle has been involved in a collision and the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) has DTC B1231/B1193:00 stored in memory, the repair of the OCS system is to include the following procedures for the Weight sensor bolt-type OCS system:
• For weight sensor bolt-type OCS , inspect the passenger side floorpan for damage and repair as necessary. Install a new seat track with OCS weight sensor bolts. DTC must be cleared from the OCSM before carrying out OCS Reset. Do not install a new OCSM unless DTC B1231/B1193:00 cannot be cleared. [Passenger seat track assembly (includes OCS weight sensor bolts)]
• For bladder-type OCS , inspect for damage and repair as necessary. If installation of an OCS component is required, an OCS service kit must be installed. [OCS sensor (bladder system)]

When any damage to the impact sensor mounting points or mounting hardware has occurred, repair or install new mounting points and mounting hardware as needed

Inspect the entire vehicle for damage, including the following components:
• Steering column (deployable column)
• Instrument panel knee bolsters and mounting points
• Instrument panel braces and brackets
• Instrument panel and mounting points
• Seats and seat mounting points
• Safety belts, safety belt buckles, safety belt retractors and safety belt anchors
• SRS wiring, wiring harnesses and connectors

After a crash, the following safety belt components and attaching hardware must be inspected and tested to verify correct function at all seating positions:
• Retractors
• Buckles
• Safety belt shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)
• Front safety belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar) (if equipped)
• Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature for child safety seats (passenger seating positions only)
• Child safety seat tether bracket assemblies
• Lower anchors and tethers for children
• Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) (if equipped)
• Inflatable safety belt systems (if equipped)

Before installing a new safety belt assembly, inspect all safety belt attaching points for damage and distortion. If the attaching points are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must be restored to its original
shape and structural integrity.

After carrying out the review and inspection of the entire vehicle for damage, repair or install new components as needed
