PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED
• If the harness is broken or damaged in the areas relevant to the replacement parts shown below, replace the harness, do not repair it.• Before doing any SRS repairs, check for DTCs with the HDS; refer to the appropriate Acura RLX Service Manual for the less obvious deployed components (front seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, etc.).
• Do not replace the front passenger's weight sensor unit unless it is physically damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC troubleshooting because it could complicate troubleshooting other DTCs (except Mexico model).
• After a vehicle collision, do the front passenger's weight sensor unit operation check; refer to the appropriate Acura RLX Service Manual (except Mexico model).
After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. Replace the components as needed.
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
• Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, do not repair, any damaged harnesses.
• Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel; refer to the appropriate Acura RLX Service Manual.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the vehicle to the ON mode. If the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS is OK. If the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS to check for the DTCs; refer to the appropriate Acura RLX Service Manual. If you cannot retrieve a code, do the SRS Symptom

• If any of the SRS-related components are damaged or deformed, be sure to replace them.
