Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment
NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs, use the PGM Tester SRS menu method to check for DTCs; refer to the DTC Troubleshooting Index See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions for the less obvious deployed
parts (seat belt tensioners, OPDS sensor, side airbag sensors, etc.)
After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed ('02-03 Models), replace these items:
-
Seat belt tensioners
-
SRS unit
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
-
SRS unit
-
Deployed airbag(s)
-
Seat belt tensioners ('02-03 Models)
After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
-
SRS unit
-
Deployed side airbag(s)
-
Side impact sensor(s) for the side(s) that deployed
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
-
Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't repair, any damaged harnesses.
-
Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the ignition switch ON(II). If the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS
airbag system is OK. If the indicator does not function properly, use the PGM Tester SRS Menu Method to read the DTC. If this doesn't retrieve any
codes, use the Tester's SCS menu method. If you still cannot retrieve a code, go to SRS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting.
