SRS Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment
NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs, use the HDS SRS menu method to check for DTCs; refer to the DTC Troubleshooting Index for the less obvious deployed parts (seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.)
After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed, replace these items:
  • SRS unit
  • Seat belt tensioners
  • Seat belt buckle tensioner
  • Front impact sensors
After a collision where the right side seat belt buckle tensioner deployed, replace these items:
  • SRS unit
  • Seat belt tensioners
  • Seat belt buckle tensioner
  • Front impact sensors
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
  • SRS unit
  • Deployed airbag(s)
  • Seat belt tensioners
  • Seat belt buckle tensioner
  • Front impact sensors
After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
  • SRS unit
  • Deployed side airbag(s)
  • Reinforcing cloth rear hooks
  • Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed
  • Seat-back cover clips
  • Complete seat frame
After a collision where the side curtain airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
  • SRS unit
  • Deployed side curtain airbag(s)
  • Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed
  • Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that deployed
  • Roof trim
  • Center pillar upper trim
  • Rear pillar upper trim
  • Front grab handle
  • Second grab handle
  • All related trim clips
  • Sunvisor
After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. According to the degree of damage, replace components as needed.
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
  • Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, do not repair, any damaged harnesses.
  • Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS is OK. If the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS SRS Menu Method to read the DTC. If you cannot retrieve a code, go to SRS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting.

Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap
To prevent the side curtain airbag from accidentally deploying and damaged the pillar trim, the overlap between the headliner and pillar trim must be less then 15 mm. To check the overlap, do the following:
  1. Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trim (B).
  1. Using masking tape on the headliner, mark the upper edge of each pillar trim.
  1. Remove the pillar trim, and measure the headliner overlap.
    • If the overlap is less than 15 mm, remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
    • If the overlap is 15 mm or more, go to Step 4 .
  1. Carefully trim the headliner with a utility knife, reducing the overlap to less than 15 mm.
  1. Remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
