Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
SERVICE AFTER AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), never attempt to repair the
electrically conductive circuits or wiring components related to the SRS. Such repairs can compromise the conductivity and current carrying
capacity of those critical electrical circuits, which may cause SRS components not to deploy when required, or to deploy when not required.
Any wire harness containing broken, cut, burned or otherwise damaged electrically conductive SRS wiring, terminals or connector components
must be removed and replaced with an entire new wire harness. Only minor cuts or abrasions of wire and terminal insulation where the
conductive material has not been damaged, or connector insulators where the integrity of the latching and locking mechanisms have not been
compromised may be repaired using appropriate methods.
