REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
CAUTION:
All air bag system components, including the electrical harness (component mounting points), must
be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced even
if air bag system activation did not occur.
Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.
Do not attempt to service the parts below. Service of these parts is by replacement only.
± Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) module
± Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioner
± SDM
± Contact coil and combination switch assembly
± Air bag wire harness
Proper operation of the sensors and air bag system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure
return it to its original production configuration.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deployment conditions, the SDM must not be used.
Refer to ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT ± COMPONENT
REPLACEMENT
Certain air bag system components must be replaced. Those com-
ponents are:
Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
± Replace with new one.
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
± Replace with new one as an assembly.
SDM after detecting such collision as to meet deployment condi-
tions
± Replace with new one.

spected after any crash, whether the air bag deployed or not.
Those components are:
Steering column and shaft joints
± Check for length, damage and bend according to ªChecking
Steering Column for Accident Damageº in SECTION 3C1.
Steering column bracket and capsules
± Check for damage and bent.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module
± Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
± Check trim cover (pad surface) for cracks.
± Check wire harness and connector for damage or tightness.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Contact coil and combination switch assembly
± Check wire harness and connectors for damage or tightness.
± Check contact coil case for damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Instrument panel member and reinforcement
± Check for any distortion, bending, cracking or other damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
