Inspection and Repair After a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deployment: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Remove restraint system diagnostic tools from the vehicle prior to road testing. If tools are not removed, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) device may not deploy in a crash. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash and possibly violate vehicle safety standards.
NOTE:
After diagnosing or repairing a supplemental restraint system (SRS), the restraint system diagnostic tools (if required) must be removed before operating the vehicle over the road.
NOTE:
Deployable devices (such as air bag modules, pretensioners) may deploy alone or in various combinations depending on the impact event.
NOTE:
Always refer to the appropriate workshop manual procedures prior to carrying out vehicle repairs affecting the SRS and safety belt system.
NOTE:
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
