Side Impact Inflator Module, Front Passenger Side

The supplemental restraint system (SRS) needs evaluation and restoration after any collision when its deployment occurs. It is necessary to deactivate the SRS before performing servicing while installing restraint system diagnostic tools. After repairs are finished you should eliminate diagnostic tools and rebuild air bag modules to guarantee the safety of future crash scenarios. This action safeguards user safety from potential injuries. The diagnostic process for seat side air bag systems should be undertaken only after removing the seat from the vehicle while connecting diagnostic instruments to its electrical connectors. Technical tools need removal in order to operate the vehicle as a road vehicle. The SRS system must operate without defects to grant vehicle release to the customer. All deployed devices including driver air bags, passenger air bags, seat side air bags, safety belt pretensioners require new replacement parts when combined with new impact sensors and a new RCM because of the DTC B1231 (Crash Data Memory Full) or if any deployable devices are deployed. Repair or replacement procedures must address all impact sensor mounting point or hardware damages. Installation of a new Clock Spring becomes necessary when the driver air bag module participates in a deployment event. The inspection of the vehicle should involve examining the steering column together with the instrument panel knee bolsters and mounting points along with inspection of instrument panel braces and brackets, instrument panel and mounting points, seats and seat mounting points, safety belts, safety belt buckles, safety belt retractors, and SRS wiring and wiring harnesses and connectors. The inspection finishes with any essential replacements or fixes of damaged parts.

Ensure the SRS is fully operational and free of faults, and repairs should be made by installing a new part. If the issue persists, reinstall the original part and repeat the diagnostic procedure.

Ensure the supplemental restraint system (SRS) is deactivated and diagnostic tools are installed.

The battery must be connected.

Remove any temporary tape from the wire harness and connector, position the module into the glove compartment opening, and ensure the tabs engage with the instrument panel bracket slots. Install the four module bolts, tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in), followed by the two brackets and their four bolts, also tightened to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Finally, install the connector and wire harness pin-type retainers, reconnect the electrical connector through the glove compartment opening, close the glove compartment, and repower the system.

Begin by depowering the system.

Reconnect the battery ground cable.

They must be repaired or replaced as necessary.

Push the driver air bag module in to seat the spring clips securely behind the steering wheel tabs.
