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—25.05

  • Inspect and replace any air bag system part identified as defective by diagnostic check.

  • Air bag modules with discolored or damaged covers, or deployment doors must be replaced, not repaired.

  • Repairs are made by replacement of parts only.

  • Ensure all air bag module and sensor mounting areas are restored to original condition.
1When any deployable device (driver’s side air bag, passenger’s side air bag, side air bag, seat belt pretensioner, etc.) or combination of devices are deployed and/or the Restraints Control Module (RCM) has Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1231 (Crash Data Memory Full) in memory, the repair of the vehicles air bag system is to include the removal of all deployed devices and the installation of NEW deployable devices, the removal and installation of NEW impact sensors, and removal and installation of a NEW RCM.
2If head-impact air bag has deployed, headliner, A-, B- and C-pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be replaced, along with any other damaged components and hardware. All roofline sheet metal and head-impact tether rivet nut must be restored to original condition prior to installing NEW head-impact air bag module. The head impact air bag must be installed in the vehicle using NEW torque-prevailing type J-nuts (W709759), if equipped. Use of this J-nut is mandatory so as to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of a head impact air bag deployment.
3After a collision that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger seat belt pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard passenger seat belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new seat belt systems increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a collision.
4If vehicle is involved in a collision in which Restraints Control Module (RCM) or crash sensor mounting area is damaged, inspect mounting surface and bracket. If damaged, sensor must be replaced whether or not air bags have deployed.

1When any deployable device or combination of devices are deployed and/or restraints control module (RCM) has DTC B1231 (Event Threshold Exceeded) in memory, repair of vehicles SRS is to include removal of all deployed devices and installation of NEW deployable devices, removal and installation of NEW impact sensors, and removal and installation of a NEW RCM. DTCs must cleared from all required modules after repairs are carried out.
2If vehicle is involved in a collision in which Restraints Control Module (RCM) or crash sensor mounting area is damaged, inspect mounting surface and bracket. If damaged, sensor must be replaced whether or not air bags have deployed.
3After any crash that results in deployment of driver and/or front outboard passenger seat belt pretensioners, NEW driver and/or front outboard passenger seat belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed.
4When a vehicle has been involved in a collision and the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM) has DTC B1231/B1193:00 stored in memory, the repair of the OCS system is to include inspecting for damage and repair as necessary. If installation of an OCS system component is required, an OCS system service kit must be installed.

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.
2Because a sensor is built into the crash zone sensor, once the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the crash zone sensor must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. If the crash zone sensor is reused, the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident.
3Because a sensor is built into the side air bag sensor, once the air bag has operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the side air bag sensor must be replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation.
4When a side air bag module operates (deploys) due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad, frame, trim) may become damaged. After a side air bag has operated (deployed), always replace both the side air bag module and the seat back (pad, frame, trim) with new parts. After servicing, verify that the seat operates normally and that the wiring harness is not caught.
5When inspecting the seat belt pre-tensioner for malfunctions, always use the on-board diagnostic function to diagnose.
6When vehicle has been involved in an accident, check for DTC’s stored in SAS control module.

1If the SRS air bag system was operated (deployed) due to a collision, an internal malfunction may have occurred with the SAS control module even if there is no visible external damage or deformation. If the SAS control module is reused, the SRS air bag system may not operate (deploy) normally which could result in a serious accident. Therefore, if the following equipment has operated (deployed), always replace the SAS control module with a new one: Drivers air bag module, Passengers air bag module, Knee air bag module, Curtain air bag module, Front pre-tensioner seat belts, Rear pre-tensioner seat belts.
2If the drivers air bag, the passengers air bag, the knee air bag module, the far side air bag module, and the pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision, the crash zone sensor may have an internal malfunction even if there is no visible damage or deformation on the exterior. If the crash zone sensor is reused, the driver side air bag, the passengers air bag, the knee air bag module, the far side air bag module, and the pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. Therefore, always replace with new parts.

2When a side air bag module operates (deploys) due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad, frame) may become damaged. If a seat back is reused, the air bag may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. After a side air bag module has operated (deployed), always replace the side air bag module and the seat back as a unit (pad, frame, trim) with a new part. After completion of maintenance, verify that the seat operates normally and that the wiring harness is not caught.
3If the drivers air bag, the passengers air bag, the knee air bag module, the far side air bag module, and the pre-tensioner seat belts have operated (deployed) due to a collision, the crash zone sensor may have an internal malfunction even if there is no visible damage or deformation on the exterior. If the crash zone sensor is reused, the driver side air bag, the passengers air bag, the knee air bag module, the far side air bag module, and the pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident.
