WARNING:

Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal injury may result. Avoid area near steering wheel and instrument panel even if air bags have deployed. Dual-stage air bag modules may be present that could contain an undeployed stage. When disposing of a deployed dual-stage air bag, always treat it as a live module. See appropriate Air Bag Service & Repair article in Mitchell’s Repair Center TechAdvisor product for more information. ©Mitchell International—24.05

  • Manufacturer may consider some fasteners and attachments non-reusable. Refer to manufacturer’s service repair manual or appropriate Air Bag Service & Repair article in Mitchell’s Repair Center TechAdvisor product for more information.

  • Proper operation of air bag system requires that any repair made to the vehicle structures return it to its original production configuration.

  • DO NOT attempt wiring repairs.

  • After vehicle is repaired, ensure AIR BAG warning light is functioning properly.

  • Manufacturer may consider some fasteners and attachments non-reusable. Refer to manufacturer’s service repair manual or appropriate Air Bag Service & Repair article in Mitchell’s Repair Center TechAdvisor product for more information.

  • If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced.

  • After vehicle is repaired, ensure AIR BAG warning light is functioning properly.

  • Manufacturer recommends replacing all components (except wire harness) every 15 years.
1Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) must be tested (pre-scan) for fault codes (DTCs) that could be active (current) or stored following a collision. After every SRS repair, confirm DTC’s have been cleared (post-scan).
2It is in the best interest of the current or future vehicle owner and/or occupants that repairs to the SRS, seatbelt and occupant protection system are made using new original equipment parts. Anything less than this may expose operators and occupants too unnecessary risk.
3Replace ORC In the event of total activation (airbags, side bags, head bags and tensioners). For less than total activation, Replace ORC after the third activation of the tensioners, side bags or head bags.

1Following ANY major vehicle impact damage in the vicinity of an impact sensor or the ORC - It is critical that the mounting surfaces and mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), front impact sensors and side impact sensors located within the proximity of the impact damage be closely inspected and restored to their original conditions. Because the ORC and each impact sensor are used by the SRS to monitor or confirm the direction and severity of a vehicle impact, improper orientation or insecure fastening of these components may cause air bags not to deploy when required, or to deploy when not required.
2Following ANY air bag deployment event - The pyrotechnic fuse in the small fusebox on the positive battery terminal must be replaced. The Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) provisions, the upper tether anchors and all interior trim panels must also be inspected.
3If the Driver Air Bag (DAB) has been deployed, the DAB, the clockspring, the steering column assembly including the intermediate shaft and coupler, both front seat belt anchor tensioners, both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies, both rear outboard seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies (if equipped), any front seat belt buckle in use and all rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use must be replaced. The front impact sensors and the steering wheel must also be inspected.
4If the driver Knee Air Bag (KAB) has been deployed, the KAB and the instrument panel steering column opening cover must also be replaced. The instrument panel must also be inspected.
5 If the Passenger Air Bag (PAB) has been deployed, the PAB, the PAB wire harness or connector and the instrument panel must be replaced.
6If a Seat Air Bag (SAB) has been deployed, the SAB, the seat back frame, the seat back foam, the seat back trim cover and the side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed air bag must be replaced. Both front seat belt anchor tensioners, both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies, any front seat belt buckle in use and all rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use must be replaced.
7If a side curtain air bag (also known as a Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain/SABIC) has been deployed, the SABIC, the trim on the upper A, B and C-pillars as well as the side impact sensors on the same side of the vehicle as the deployed air bag must be replaced. The headliner, both front seat belt anchor tensioners, both front seat belt retractor and tensioner assemblies, any front seat belt buckle in use and all rear seat belt retractors and buckles in use must be replaced. The deploy brackets on the B-pillar and C-pillar for the same side of the vehicle as the deployed air bag must be closely inspected following a side curtain air bag deployment.
8If a seat belt tensioner is deployed the seat belt retractor and anchor tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the front air bags. All seat belt tensioners must be replaced if any air bag in the vehicle except the driver KAB has been deployed.
