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
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component deployment must have the deployed restraints replaced.When Driver Airbag has deployed:
• Driver Airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• If the driver airbag has been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced [CLOCK SPRING]
• Steering Column Assembly including Intermediate Shaft/Coupler
• Both outboard front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use
When Passenger Airbag has deployed:
• Passenger Airbag [AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL]
• Instrument Panel • DS/ DJ/ D2
• Passenger Airbag wiring harness or connector if available (Must use approved wire crimping tool and splices)
When Side Curtain Airbag has deployed:
• Side Curtain Airbag [AIRBAG,ROOF]
• If a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the headliner, as well as the upper A, B, and C-pillar trim on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag must be replaced
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Both outboard front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
When Seat Airbag has deployed [if equipped]:
• Seat Airbag [AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT]
• Seat Back Frame
• Seat Back Foam
• Seat Back Trim Cover
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Both outboard front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All other seat belt retractors and buckles in use
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front airbags, but can also be deployed with a Seat AirBag (SAB) (also known as the pelvic and thoracic airbag) or side curtain airbags (also known as Side AirBag Inflatable Curtains/SABIC). All seat belt tensioners must be replaced if any airbag in the vehicle 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,SIDE (B-Pillar); AIRBAG SENSOR,SIDE (C-Pillar); AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR]• 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 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
SQUIB CIRCUIT WIRING REPAIRS:
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.
