  • Even though the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt appear to be free from damage and deformation, there is a possibility that a malfunction such as an internal malfunction has occurred. Use the on-board diagnostic function beforehand to check if the air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt are defective before reusing an unactivated (undeployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt.

  • DO NOT attempt wiring harness repairs. Replace entire wiring harness.

1Because a sensor is built into the SAS control module, once the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the SAS control module must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. The used SAS control module may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper operation. Always replace the SAS control module with a new one.
2When the driver-side air bag, the passenger-side air bag, or the pre-tensioner seat belt are activated (deployed) due to a collision, there is a possibility that the crash zone sensor may have an internal malfunction even though it does not appear to be damaged or deformed. If the crash zone sensor is reused, the driver-side air bag, passengers air bag, or pre-tensioner seat belt may not activate (deploy) properly and may cause a serious accident. Be sure to replace the crash zone sensor with a new sensor.
3When the air bag is activated (deployed) due to a collision, there is a possibility that the side air bag sensor may have an internal malfunction even though it does not appear to be damaged or deformed. If the side air bag sensor is reused, the side air bag, curtain air bag, or pre-tensioner seat belt may not activate (deploy) properly and may cause a serious accident. Be sure to replace the side air bag sensor with a new sensor.
4When the air bag is activated (deployed) due to a collision, there is a possibility that the pressure sensor may have an internal malfunction even though it does not appear to be damaged or deformed. If the pressure sensor is reused, the side air bag, curtain air bag, or pre-tensioner seat belt may not activate (deploy) properly and may cause a serious accident. Be sure to replace the pressure sensor with a new sensor.
5When the passengers seat is replaced with a new one, perform the occupant classification sensor calibration.
6When inspecting the seat belt pre-tensioner for malfunctions, always use the on-board diagnostic function to diagnose.
