FOR FRONTAL COLLISION
To repair the SRS for a frontal collision, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the side air bag) is activated in a collision:
V1Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
V2Remove the air bag modules (except the side air bag module).
V3Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
+Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).
V4Install new air bag modules (except the side air bag module).
V5Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and ªAIR BAGº. Refer to ªSelf-diagnosisº for details (RS-
3020). Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
V1Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
+Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation).
V2Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and ªAIR BAGº. Refer to ªSelf-diagnosisº for details (RS-
