COLLISION DIAGNOSISPFP:00015
For Frontal CollisionAHS000I6
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the front side air bag and side curtain air bag modules) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules),
crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
3. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
4. Install new air bag modules (except the front side air bag modules and side curtain air bag modules) crash
zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1. Check the SRS components using the table below:
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
When only one front air bag module is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the following components:
–Diagnosis sensor unit
–Crash zone sensor
–Activated front air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner.
2. Check the other SRS components using the table below. (Refer to “SRS is NOT activated”.)
–Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Only one front air bag may inflate a crash, depending on the crash severity and whether the front occupants
are belted or unbelted. This does not indicate improper performance of the system. Perform self-diagnosis to
make sure the entire SRS operates properly.
SRS INSPECTION (FOR FRONTAL COLLISION)
Part SRS is activated SRS is NOT activated
Air bag module
(driver or front pas-
senger air bag mod-
ule)REPLACE
Install with new bolts.1. Remove air bag module. Check harness cover and connectors for damage, termi-
nals for deformities, and harness for binding.
2.
–Install driver air bag module into the steering wheel to check fit and alignment with
the wheel.
–Install passenger air bag module into the instrument panel to check fit with the
instrument panel.
3. No damage found, reinstall with new bolts.
4. If damaged—REPLACE air bag modules with new special bolts.
Air bag must be deployed before disposal.
Crash zone sensor REPLACE the crash
zone sensor and
bracket with new
nuts.1. Remove the crash zone sensor. Check harness connectors for damage, terminals
for deformities, and harness for binding.
2. Check for visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation) of the crash zone
sensor and bracket.
3. Install the crash zone sensor to check fit.
4. No damage found, reinstall with new bolts.
5. If damaged—REPLACE the crash zone sensor and bracket with new nuts.

For Side CollisionAHS000I7
WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAG IS ACTIVATED IN THE SIDE COLLISION:
1. Replace the following components:
–All parts of front seatback (including front seatback frame) with front side air bag module (on the side on
which front side air bag is activated)
–Curtain air bag module (on the side on which side curtain air bag is activated)
–Diagnosis sensor unit
–Satellite sensor (on the side on which side air bag and side curtain air bag are activated)
2. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the following table.
–Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-17, "
SRS Operation
Check" . Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Seat belt pre-ten-
sioner assembliesREPLACE
Install seat belt pre-
tensioner with new
bolts.1. Remove seat belt pre-tensioners.

harness for binding.
2. Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
3. Check retractor for smooth operation.
4. Check seat belt adjuster for damage.
5. If no damage is found, reinstall seat belt pre-tensioner assembly with new bolts.
6. If damaged—REPLACE seat belt pre-tensioners with new bolts.
Seat belt pre-tensioners must be deployed before disposal.

Steering wheel 1. Visually check steering wheel for deformities.
2. Check harness (built into steering wheel) and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
3. Install air bag module to check fit or alignment with steering wheel.
4. Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
5. If no damage is found, reinstall with nut.
6. If damaged—REPLACE.
Spiral cable 1. Visually check spiral cable and combination switch for damage.
2. Check connectors and protective tape for damage.
3. Check steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
4. If no damage is found, reinstall with screws.
5. If damaged—REPLACE.
Harness and connec-
tors1. Check connectors for poor connection, damage, and terminals for deformities.

NOTE:
Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions. This is not malfunc-
tion.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SYSTEM FOR CAN COMMUNICATION LINE
Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-21, "
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
Is the
“CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” displayed?
YES >> Perform trouble diagnoses for CAN communication line. Refer to TF-31, "CAN Communication
Line" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform self-diagnosis for ECM. Refer to EC-54, "
Emission-Related Diagnostic Information" (VQ35DE mod-
els) or EC-704, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (VK45DE models).
Is any malfunction detected by self-diagnosis?
YES >> Check the malfunctioning system.
NO >> GO TO 3.
