Accident With Passenger Side Air Bag Deployment
Component Replacement and InspectionsAfter a collision involving a passenger side air bag deployment, replace the following components:
^ Inflatable restraint passenger seat module
^ Inflatable restraint side impact sensor (RH)
^ Inflatable restraint side impact sensor (RH) mounting bracket
If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed. After a collision involving passenger side air bag deployment, inspect the RH front door harness, RH door seal and passenger seat for cutting/chafing or other damage due to a side impact. Perform this component inspection in addition to the inspections indicated above in Accident With or Without Air Bag Deployment. If current DTC 56 is set, the SDM must also be replaced. This is because the vehicle has been involved in three passenger side air bag deployments, which is the maximum number of passenger side air bag deployments allowed by one SDM. Use the scan tool to verify that the passenger side air bag has deployed three times by viewing the SIR scan tool data list. Refer to the SIR Scan Tool Data List. Scan Tool Data List
