Collision Diagnosis

Collision Diagnosis

FOR FRONTAL COLLISION
To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.

When SRS (except the side air bag) is activated in a collision:
1. Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2. Remove the air bag module(s) (except the side air bag module), crash zone sensor assembly, bracket and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.

3. Check the SRS components using the table shown:
- Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).

4. Install new air bag module(s) (except the side air bag module) and seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or AIR BAG warning lamp. Refer to SRS Operation Check for details. [1][2]Component Tests and General Diagnostics Ensure entire SRS operates properly.

When SRS is not activated in a collision or when only one front air bag module is activated in a collision:

1. Check the SRS components using the table shown:
- 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 Operation Check for details [1][2]Component Tests and General Diagnostics. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.

Only one front air bag may inflate in 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. Conduct self-diagnosis to make sure the entire SRS operates properly.
