Air Bag: Testing and Inspection
INSPECTIONAIR BAG MODULE CHECK
DANGER: Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the air bag modules (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental air bag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: If any component damage is found during the following inspection, replace the air bag module with a new one. Dispose of the old one according to the specified procedure.
1. Check the pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Check the connectors for damage, the terminals for deformation, and the harness for binds.
3. Check the air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformation.
4. Install the driver's air bag module to the steering wheel and check fit and alignment with the wheel.
5. Install the passenger's (front) air bag module to the instrument panel and crossmember, and check fit and alignment.
FRONT SEATBACK ASSEMBLY WITH SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE CHECK
DANGER: Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the air bag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental air bag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: If any improper part is found during the following inspection, replace the front seatback assembly with a new one. Dispose of the old one according to the specified procedure.
1. Check the air bag module deployment section for dents or deformation.
2. Check connector for damage, terminals for deformation, and harness for binds.
