PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed, replace these items:
• SRS unit [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]
• Seat belt tensioners
• Front impact sensors [AIRBAG SENSOR,FENDER]

After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
• SRS unit [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]
• Deployed airbag(s)
[AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL], if deployed
[AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL], if deployed
• Seat belt tensioners
• Front impact sensors [AIRBAG SENSOR,FENDER]

After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
• SRS unit [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]
• Deployed side airbag(s) [AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT]
• Seat belt tensioner(s) for the side(s) that deployed
• Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed [AIRBAG SENSOR,INTERIOR]
• Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that deployed (4-door) [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]

After a collision where the side curtain airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
• SRS unit [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]
• Deployed side curtain airbag(s) [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• Seat belt tensioner(s) for the side(s) that deployed
• Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed [AIRBAG SENSOR,INTERIOR]
• Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that deployed (4-door) [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
• Roof trim (Headliner)
• A-pillar trim
• B-pillar trim
• C-pillar trim
• Front grab handle
• Sunvisor
• All related trim clips

After a collision, where a side curtain airbag has deployed, replace all trim clips on that side, even if they appear to be undamaged. Replace the clips on these
parts:
• A-pillar trim
• B-pillar trim
• C-pillar trim
• Front grab handle
• Sunvisor
• Any damaged restraint system part

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

• Before doing any SRS repairs, use the HDS SRS menu method to check for DTCs; read the DTC for the less obvious deployed parts (seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.)
• Do not mix TRW and Denso impact sensors. Impact sensors and the SRS unit must be of the same manufacturer
• After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. According to the degree of damage, replace components as needed
• Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't repair, any damaged harnesses.
• Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel
• After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, inspect the seat-back cushion and the seatback
frame. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seatback frame is deformed, it must be replaced.
• Any damaged restraint system part
