Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision


WHEN SERVICING DAMAGED VEHICLE

(a) Before using an electric welder on the vehicle, remove any SRS parts around the area being repaired.

CAUTION:
Make sure to remove any SRS parts as necessary to prevent them from accidentally deploying.

(b) Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor assemblies if impacts are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.

(c) Never expose an airbag sensor directly to high temperatures.

(d) As the SRS parts are very hot after being deployed, ensure that all wire harnesses and connectors around deployed SRS parts are not damaged.

CONDITIONS WHEN INSPECTION OF SRS PARTS IS NECESSARY

(a) When the vehicle is damaged in a collision even when the SRS parts are not deployed.

(b) When an SRS system DTC is output.
