Replacing Airbag Units After an Accident






Replacing Airbag Units After an Accident

Always replace the following components after an accident when airbag has deployed:

All deployed airbag units

Support for passenger module where passenger airbag deployed.

Return ring with slip ring, if driver side airbag deployed.

All seat belts with triggered belt tensioners

If necessary (visual check) also replace all damaged components

Accident without Airbag Deployment

If the airbag malfunction indicator lamp does not indicate a DTC, airbag components do not need to be replaced. Seat belts must be inspected separately.
