With Air Bag Deployment-Component Inspect/Replace

After a collision involving seat belt side buckle pretensioner deployment and frontal air bag deployment, replace the following components. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.

^ Inflatable restraint IP (inflator) module
^ Inflatable restraint steering wheel (inflator) module
^ Driver and passenger seat belt side buckle pretensioners
^ Inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic and Seat Belt Pretensioner Module (SDM)

After a collision involving frontal air bag deployment, inspect the Inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil and the coil wiring pigtail for melting, scorching, or other damage due to excessive heat. Perform this component inspection in addition to the inspections indicated above in Accident With or Without Air Bag Deployment. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair the component or replace the hardware as needed.

If Current DTC 56 is set, the SDM must also be replaced. This is because the vehicle has been involved in 3 passenger side air bag deployment collisions, the maximum number of passenger side air bag deployments allowed with one SDM. Select and read Reset Passenger Side Air Bag from the SIR Data List using the scan tool to verify that the passenger side air bag has deployed 3 times.
