K 2500 Yukon XL 4WD V8-8.1L VIN G (2001)
Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
Air Bag System
Accident With Frontal Air Bag Deployment
CAUTION: Proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure
return the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment
of the air bag(s) in a frontal collision or deployment of the air bag(s) for conditions less severe than intended.
After a collision involving frontal air bag deployment, replace the following components.
^
Inflatable restraint electronic frontal sensor (EFS)
^
Inflatable restraint front end discriminating sensor
^
Inflatable restraint IP module
^
Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (5DM)
^
Inflatable restraint steering wheel module
Perform additional inspections on the following components.
^
Steering wheel module coil and coil wiring pigtail - Inspect for melting, scorching, or other damage due to excessive heat.
^
Mounting points and mounting hardware for the EFS, front end discriminating sensor, IP module, steering wheel module, and SDM- Inspect for
damage and repair or replace each component as needed.
Accident With or Without Air Bag Deployment
CAUTION:
^
Proper operation of the Supplemental inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return
the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment at
the air bag(s) in a frontal collision or deployment at the air bag(s) for conditions less severe than intended.
^
Proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return
the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment of
the side impact air bag(s) in a side impact collision or deployment of the side impact air bag(s) for conditions less severe than intended.
After any collision, inspect the following components as indicated. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the
mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.
^
Steering column-Perform the steering column accident damage checking procedures. Refer to Steering Column Accident Damage Inspection Off
Vehicle in Steering Wheel and Column - Standard or Steering Column Accident Damage Inspection - Off Vehicle in Steering Wheel and Column -
Tilt.
^
I/P Knee Bolsters and Mounting Points-Inspect the knee bolsters for bending, twisting, buckling, or any other type of damage.
^
I/P brackets, braces, etc.- Inspect for bending, twisting, buckling, or any other type of damage.
^
Seat Belts-Perform the seat belt operational and functional checks Refer to Operational and Functional Checks in Seat Belts. See: Seat Belt
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Operational and Functional Checks
^
Seats and Seat Mounting Points-Inspect for bending, twisting, buckling, or any other type of damage.
Accident With Side Air Bag Deployment
After a collision involving side air bag deployment, replace the following components.
^
Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
^
Inflatable restraint side impact module, on side of impact
^
Inflatable restraint side impact sensor (SIS), on side of impact
Perform additional inspections on the following components.
^
Mounting points and mounting hardware for the side impact module and SDM - Inspect for any damage and repair or replace each component as
needed.
^
Inspect the components indicated above in Accident With or Without Air Bag Deployment.
Accident With/Without Air Bag Deployment
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER A COLLISION
ACCIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT - COMPONENT INSPECTIONS
CAUTION: Proper operation of the SIR sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the
original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment in a collision or deployment for
conditions less severe than intended.
After any collision, inspect the following components as indicated. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the
mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.
