PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component
deployment must have the deployed restraints replaced:

If the driver airbag is deployed:
• Driver airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• Clockspring
• Steering Column Assembly including Intermediate Shaft/Coupler
• Seat belt tensioners
• All Seat Belt Retractors and Buckles in use

If the passenger airbag is deployed:
• Passenger airbag [AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL]
• The passenger airbag door
• Seat belt tensioners
• Passenger Airbag wiring harness or connector if available (Must use approved wire crimping tool and splices)

If a side curtain airbag is deployed:
• Side curtain airbag [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• Headliner
• Upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Seat belt tensioners
• All Seat Belt Retractors and Buckles in use

• The seat belt tensioners are deployed by the same signal that deploys either the driver and passenger front airbags or the side curtain airbags and must also be replaced if any front or side curtain airbag has been deployed.

PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED

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,INTERIOR (frt); AIRBAG SENSOR,INTERIOR (rr)]

• Deployed Active Head Restraint (AHR) units that are undamaged are designed with the intention of reuse. However, the deployed AHR units must be properly reset following deployment
• Connected wiring (squib circuits) and connector insulators
• Lower Anchors and Tether for Children (LATCH)
• Inspect all Trim Panels
• All seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage

When Driver Airbag has deployed:
• Steering Wheel

When Passenger Airbag has deployed:
• Instrument Panel

When Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• Sunroof
• Sunroof Drain Tubes and Hoses

• All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any SRS 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. This connection method typically requires no additional wiring repair following a deployment.
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
