AIRBAG SYSTEM
3. Inspection Locations After a
Collision
A: REPLACEMENT
Replace the following parts when the airbag is de-
ployed.
1. FRONT COLLISION
1) Driver's airbag module
2) Passenger's airbag module
3) Driver's seat belt (Pretensioner)
4) Passenger's seat belt (Pretensioner)
5) Airbag control module
6) Front sub sensor
7) Roll connector
8) Instrument panel (for integrating with passen-
ger's airbag module)
2. SIDE COLLISION
1) Airbag control module
2) Side airbag module (operating side seat back-
rest)
3) Side airbag sensor (operating side)
4) Curtain airbag module (operating side)
5) Curtain airbag sensor (operating side)
3. INSPECTION OF OTHER PARTS
Check for the following parts, and replace the dam-
aged parts with new parts.
1) Steering wheel and steering shaft
Check the steering shaft for mounting conditions
and deflection of front, rear, upward and downward
directions, and deflection of front and rear direction
when tilt lever released. (After a collision, absorb-
ing part of steering shaft may have been operated.)
2) Check the direct type connector of driver's air-
bag module, pretensioner, etc. for damage, and
also check each harness for pinch and connector
damage. Replace the harness as a unit if damage
is found.
3) Check the installing condition and play of the
seat cushion, backrest, seat rail and headrest.

check for the following, and replace the damaged
parts with new parts.
• It is difficult to install the airbag module due to the
condition of steering wheel.
• The clearance between the driver's airbag mod-
ule and steering wheel is not constant.
• When steering wheel deformation in axial, up-
ward and downward directions exceed limits.
Specification:
Height deflection A
Less than 6 mm (0.24 in)
O.D. deflection L
Less than 7 mm (0.28 in)
2. PASSENGER'S AIRBAG MODULE
