Collision Inspection

On vehicles which have experienced an air bag system deployment, certain SRS components must be replaced. To determine which air bag/SRS components require replacement, refer to the General Airbag Information. To ensure proper system operation on any vehicle involved in a collision, perform procedures outlined under "Diagnosis and Testing. All system components should be inspected for dents, cracks, exposure to excessive heat and other damage. All air bag system wiring should be checked for chaffing and interference with other vehicle components. The instrument panel should also be inspected. When repairing vehicle, system should be disarmed as described under Air Bag System Disarming and Arming. Also when performing service procedures, do not expose components or wiring to heat guns, welding or spray guns.
