9. REMINDER FOR AIR BAG RELATED COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

• When an air bag deploys (curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners included), the air bag unit must be

replaced. Please do not attempt to delete the failure code with scan-100 because some data about the de-

ployment situation are stored in the unit.

• The air bag related components, especially the air bag unit, must be stored in a sealed case to prevent any

• Please do not connect a tester to any air bag connector or single item to measure the supplied power or

resistance. The detonator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the tester.

• Before removing or installing any air bag related components, disconnect the negative battery cable.

Collision sensors, a kind of impact G (acceleration) sensor, detect the front and longitudinal collisions and deter-

mine whether or not the air bags are deployed. The roles of each collision sensor are as below:

Front G sensors (inside the air bag unit)

1. Send signals to the front air bags and the driver's and front passenger's seat belt pretensioners.

2. By the signal from this sensor, front air bags (driver's and passenger's air bags) deploy and the seat belt

pretensioners of the driver's and passenger's seat belts retract seat belts.

Curtain air bag G sensors

1. These are located inside the left and right B-pillar panel bottoms. When collision occurs, the air bag at the

side of collision deploys accordingly. Please pay attention to that, in the case of the curtain air bag, only the

air bag at the side of collision deploys, not both.

Once an air bag deploys, its repair parts vary according to the deployment situation and damage to the vehicle from

collision. Needed repairs also slightly vary between the front air bags and the curtain air bags. The following are the

differences:

Replacement parts when the front air bags deploy: the air bag units and their connection wires (connectors

included), the seat belt pretensioners and their connection wires (connectors included), the entire front air bags,

and the instrument panel (IP).

Replacement parts when a curtain air bag deploys: the new curtain air bag for the deployed side, the air

bag unit and its connection wires (connectors included), the collision G sensor assembly for the curtain air bag,

and the trims and roof headlining for the broken parts.
