DISABLE PROCEDURE AND TIME (Always Check Service Manual)
WARNING: To avoid potential physical injury or damage to sensitive electronic circuits and systems, always disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable and the positive cable, then ground the positive cable to discharge the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) capacitor before performing any welding operations on the vehicle.1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable.
2. Allow system capacitor to discharge for two minutes before performing further diagnosis or service.

PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT
SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT:DRIVER AIRBAG:
After a Driver airbag has been deployed due to a collision, the following MUST be replaced:
• Driver airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• Steering Wheel
• Clockspring assembly
• Steering Column Assembly including Intermediate Shaft/Coupler
• Seat belt tensioners
• All Seat Belt Retractors and Buckles in use
PASSENGER AIRBAG:
After a Passenger Airbag has been deployed due to a collision, the following MUST be replaced:
• Passenger airbag [AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL] and Passenger airbag door (The passenger airbag includes the airbag door)
• Seat belt tensioners
• Passenger Airbag wiring harness or connector if available (Must use approved wire crimping tool and splices)
CURTAIN AIRBAG:
After a Curtain Airbag has been deployed due to a collision, the following MUST be replaced:
• Curtain Airbag Assembly [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• Headliner
• Upper A, B, C, and D-pillar trim
• All Seat Belt Retractors and Buckles in use
SEAT BELTS AND TENSIONERS:
The seat belt tensioners are deployed by the same signal that deploys the driver and passenger airbags and must also be replaced if either front airbag has been deployed:
• Seat belt tensioners
PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED
• It is also critical that the mounting surfaces and mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), side impact sensors, and front impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to their original conditions following any vehicle impact damage. [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL; AIRBAG SENSOR,INTERIOR; AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]• Lower Anchors and Tether for Children (LATCH)
• Inspect all Trim Panels
When Passenger Airbag has deployed:
• Upper Instrument Panel Pad
• Instrument Panel
When Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• Sunroof
• Sunroof Drain Tubes and Hoses
• Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Tensioners
• All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any supplemental restraint 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 unit.
2) The second method involves a wire harness takeout and connector insulator (squib circuits) that are connected directly to the air bag or tensioner initiator. The heat created by the initiator during an airbag or tensioner deployment will cause collateral damage to a directly connected wire harness take out and connector insulator. Therefore, these direct-connect type take outs and connector insulators must be repaired following an airbag or seat belt tensioner deployment.
