Safety depends on performing necessary inspections and repairs to the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) following a vehicle collision. Every vehicle should lose any diagnostic tools from its restraint system before road testing to stop the SRS device from omitting during crashes thereby causing life-threatening injuries. A vehicle must get new impact sensors and a replacement RCM in addition to brand-new deployable devices such as pretensioners or air bags if any deployable device was used during an accident or the RCM shows DTC B1231 (Event Threshold Exceeded). Keeping all necessary modules free of DTCs is essential after making repairs. Installments of new components require an OCS System Reset for vehicles which have this sensor system installed. The inspection of the passenger side floorpan must include damage assessment followed by needed OCS rail and seat track with weight sensor bolt installation. Hold DTC B1231 in OCS bladder type modules after deployment because they do not update this fault code. Normal post-deployment inspection should determine whether replacement of OCS system service kits is required. Installation of a new
Clock Spring constitutes one of the steps when a driver air bag module has deployed. Repair or replace mounting points and hardware for all impact sensors too. All safety belt system components such as retractors, buckles and height adjusters require installation when pretensioners have been deployed. A full examination should be performed to check the vehicle for damage that involves both steering column elements and instrument panel components and seats and safety belts and SRS wiring. Check all inspected components for damage. If any component shows damage replace it during repair processes.
