Air Bag Equipped Vehicles Involved In Collisions
While servicing an air bag-equipped vehicle that has been involved in a collision, check air bag electronic crash sensor (ECS) module and wiring.
Sensors
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module orientation is critical for proper air bag system operation. If a vehicle equipped with a driver air
bag module and passenger air bag module is involved in a crash where the right cowl A-pillar area has been damaged, make sure that body structure in
the area of the sensor mounting is restored to its original condition. Inspect the mounting and bracket for deformation.

Damaged ECS modules should be replaced whether or not the driver air bag module or passenger air bag module is deployed.
