Air Bag Module, Pre-tensioner Seat Belt Reuse
• Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not operate (deploy) in a collision and does
not have any external signs of damage, it may have been damaged internally, which may cause
improper operation. Before reusing a live (undeployed) air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belts,
always use the on-board diagnostic to diagnose the air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belts to
verify that they have no malfunction.
Air Bag Wiring Harness Repair
• Incorrectly repairing an air bag wiring harness
can accidentally operate (deploy) the air bag
module and pre-tensioner seat belts. If a
problem is found in the air bag wiring
harness, always replace the wiring harness
with a new one.
