FOR SIDE COLLISION

To repair the SRS for a side collision, perform the following steps.

When the built-in type front side air bag is activated in the side collision:

p

1

Replace the following components:
− All parts of front seat back (including front seat back frame) with side air bag modules (on the side on

which side air bag is activated)

− Diagnosis sensor unit
− Satellite sensor (on the side on which side air bag is activated)

p

2

Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.

●

Replace the SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).

p

3

Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, or “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to “SRS Operation Check”
for details (RS-37). Ensure entire SRS operates properly.

When SRS is not activated in the side collision:

p

1

Check the SRS components and the related parts using the table shown below.

●

Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
