position should be replaced.

Control module replacement
Depending on the system, control modules for electrical and Adaptive Restraint Systems will support up to five (5) deployment events before a DTC is logged making further use of the module impossible. As long as this threshold has not been reached the module can be re-used as long as no fault codes are stored indicating internal damage to the module.
