Inspection and Repair (with SRS air
bag)
The inflator module consists of a cover, air bag, inflator,
and retainer. Inspect the inflator module mainly for the
following:
Check for holes, cracks, severe blemishes and
deformation on the cover.
Check that the retainer is not deformed.
Check for defects such as damage and breakage in
the lead wire for the igniter.
If an abnormality is found as the result of the inspection,
replace the inflator module with a new one.
Installation
1. Support the inflator module and carefully connect the
SRS connector and horn lead. (with SRS air bag)
