After a collision where the front airbag, the side airbags, the side curtain airbags, or the seat belt tensioners deployed, go to Component
Replacement/Inspection after Deployment. See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Service and Repair After a collision where airbags did not
deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, the front impact sensors, the rear safing sensor, and the side impact sensors.
Also, do the front seat active head restraint inspection. Replace all damaged parts.
