Inspection Locations After a Collision
3. Inspection Locations After a
Collision
A: REPLACEMENT
When airbag system is deployed, replace the fol-
lowing parts.
1. FRONT COLLISION
1) Driver’s airbag module
2) Passenger’s airbag module
3) Driver’s seat belt (pretensioner, lap seat belt pre-
tensioner)
4) Passenger’s seat belt (pretensioner)
5) Airbag control module
6) Front sub-sensor
7) Roll connector
2. SIDE COLLISION
1) Airbag control module
2) Side airbag module (operating side seat bag)
3) Side airbag sensor (operating side)
3. INSPECTION OF OTHER PARTS
Check for the following parts, replace the damaged
parts with new ones.
1) Steering wheel and steering shaft
Check the steering wheel and steering shaft for
mounting condition and deflection of axial and radi-
al direction. Check the steering shaft for deflection
of axial direction with tilt lever released. (After a col-
lision, absorbing part of steering shaft may inflate.)
2) Check the direct type connector of driver’s air-
bag module, pretensioner, etc. for damage, and
also check each harness for pinch and connector
damage. If damage is found, replace the harness
as a unit.
B: INSPECTION
If the vehicle is involved in a collision on any side,
even if it is a slight collision, be sure to check the
following system parts.
1. DRIVER’S AIRBAG MODULE
1) Check for the following, and replace damaged
parts with new ones.
Airbag module is cracked or deformed.
Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed
or open. Lead wire is exposed.
The module surface is fouled with grease, oil,
water or cleaning solvent.
2) When installing a new driver’s airbag module,
check the following. If necessary, install a new air-
bag module and steering wheel.
The steering wheel is in the way, making it diffi-
cult to install the airbag module. The clearance between the driver’s airbag mod-
ule and steering wheel is not constant.
The steering wheel deformation in axial and radi-
al directions exceed limits.
Specifications:
Height deflection A
Less than 6 mm (0.24 in)
O.D. deflection L
Less than 17 mm (0.67 in)
2. PASSENGER’S AIRBAG MODULE
Check for the following, and replace damaged
parts with new ones.
Airbag module is cracked or deformed.
Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed
or open. Lead wire is exposed.
Mounting bracket is cracked or deformed.
3. SIDE AIRBAG MODULE
Check for the following, and replace damaged
parts with new ones.
Front seat is damaged or deformed.
Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed
or open.
Lead wire is exposed.
4. AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
Check for the following, and replace damaged
parts with new ones.
Control module is cracked or deformed.
Mounting bracket is cracked or deformed.
Connector is scratched or deformed.
Airbag is deployed.
Side airbag is deployed.

AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTIC)
General Description
If any damage, opening, or rust is found on the
airbag system wiring harness, do not attempt to re-
pair using soldering equipment. Be sure to replace
the faulty harness with a new genuine part.
Install the wiring harness securely with the spec-
ified clips to avoid interference or tangled up with
other parts.
Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with
the connector terminals. Do not touch the connec-
tor terminals. Either of the airbag modules for driver, passen-
ger or side, or pretensioner must not be disassem-
bled.
The airbag module cannot be used again once
inflated.
After removal, keep the airbag module with the
pad facing upward on a dry, clean, and flat surface
away from heat and light sources, and moisture
and dust.
Do not check continuity of either of the airbag
modules for driver, passenger or side, or preten-
sioner.
