Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR VEHICLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT

CAUTION:
Do not use seat accessories (such as cushions or covers) that cover the front seat. Also, do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat. Doing so may prevent the front passenger airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the front passenger airbag to inflate accidentally, and result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE:
Replace the occupant classification ECU, occupant detection sensor, seat cushion cover pad and seat cushion cover as a 4 part set (See supply set part No.).

1. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR VEHICLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT

(a) Perform zero point calibration and sensitivity check if any of the following conditions apply Initialization.

* The occupant classification ECU is replaced.

* The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator indicates OFF when the front passenger seat is not occupied.

* The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due to an accident or a collision.

2. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR VEHICLE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT

(a) When the airbag has not deployed, confirm the DTCs by checking the SRS warning light. If there is any malfunction in the SRS airbag system, perform troubleshooting.

(b) When any of the airbags have deployed, replace the airbag sensors and check the installation condition.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING TECHSTREAM
