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 replacedIf the driver airbag is deployed:
• Driver airbag [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL]
• Clockspring assembly
• Steering Column Assembly including the intermediate shaft and coupler
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All Seat Belt Buckles in use
If the passenger airbag is deployed:
• Passenger airbag [AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL]
• Passenger Airbag wiring harness or connector if available (Must use approved wire crimping tool and splices)
• Instrument Panel top pad
If a seat belt tensioner is deployed:
• The seat belt retractor tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front airbags. All seat belt tensioners must be replaced if any airbag in the vehicle has been deployed.
If a side airbag is deployed:
• Side Airbag
• Tether brackets and deploy bracket on the inner door panels on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Trim on the inner door panels
• Side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag
• Both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies
• All Seat Belt Buckles in use
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]
Following ANY airbag deployment event:
• Child seat upper tether anchor
• All interior trim panels
If the driver airbag is deployed:
• The front impact sensors must be inspected
• 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
• Heat created by the initiator during an airbag or tensioner deployment will cause collateral damage to the connected wiring (squib circuits) and connector insulators
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.
