SRS Inspection (For Side And Rollover Collision)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SRS INSPECTION CHART

Part	SRS is activated	SRS is NOT activated
LH side curtain air bag module	If the LH side curtain air bag has deployed: REPLACE the LH side curtain air bag module. (Repair the center pillar inner, etc. before installing new one if damaged.)	If the LH side curtain air bag has NOT deployed: Check for visible signs of damage (dents, tears, deformation) of the center pillar on the collision side. If damaged-Remove the LH side curtain air bag module. Check for visible signs of damaged (tears etc.) of the LH side curtain air bag module. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities. If no damage is found, reinstall the LH side curtain air bag module with new fasteners. If damaged-REPLACE the LH side curtain air bag module with new fasteners.
RH side curtain air bag module	If the RH side curtain air bag has deployed: REPLACE the RH side curtain air bag module. (Repair the center pillar inner, etc. before installing new one if damaged.)	If the RH side curtain air bag has NOT deployed: Check for visible signs of damage (dents, tears, deformation) of the center pillar on the collision side. If damaged-Remove the RH side curtain air bag module. Check for visible signs of damaged (tears etc.) of the RH side curtain air bag module. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities. If no damage is found, reinstall the RH side curtain air bag module with new fasteners. If damaged-REPLACE the RH side curtain air bag module with new fasteners.
Front LH side air bag module	If the front LH side air bag has deployed: REPLACE front LH seatback assembly.	If the front LH side air bag has NOT deployed: Check for visible signs of damage (dents, tears, deformation) of the seat back on the collision side. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities. If damaged-REPLACE the front LH seatback assembly.
Front RH side air bag module	If the front RH side air bag has deployed: REPLACE front RH seatback assembly.	If the front RH side air bag has NOT deployed: Check for visible signs of damage (dents, tears, deformation) of the seat back on the collision side. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities. If damaged-REPLACE the front RH seatback assembly.
(LH or RH) side air bag (satellite) sensor	If any of the SRS components have deployed: REPLACE the side air bag (satellite) sensor on the collision side with new fasteners. (Repair the center pillar inner, etc. before installing new one if damaged.)	If none of the SRS components have been activated: Remove the side air bag (satellite) sensor on the collision side. Check harness connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binding. Check for visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation) of the side air bag (satellite) sensor. Install the side air bag (satellite) sensor to check fit. If no damage is found, reinstall the side sir bag (satellite) sensor with new fasteners. If damaged-REPLACE the side air bag (satellite) sensor with new fasteners.
Diagnosis sensor unit	If any of the SRS components have deployed: REPLACE the diagnosis sensor unit with new fasteners.	If none of the SRS components have been activated: Check case and bracket for dents, cracks or deformities. Check connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities. If no damage is found, reinstall the diagnosis sensor unit with new fasteners. If damaged-REPLACE the diagnosis sensor unit with new fasteners.
Seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies (All applicable locations: buckle, reel, lap outer)	If either the driver or passenger seat belt pre-tensioner* has been activated: REPLACE all seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies with new fasteners. *: Confirm seat belt pre-tensioner activation using CONSULT-III only.	If the pre-tensioners have NOT been activated: Remove seat belt pre-tensioners. Check harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binding. Check belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting. Check retractor for smooth operation. Check seat belt adjuster for damage. Check for deformities of the center pillar inner. If the center pillar inner has no damage, REPLACE the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly. If no damage is found, reinstall seat belt pre-tensioner assembly. If damaged-REPLACE. Install the seat belt pre-tensioners with new fasteners.
Seat (with front side air bag)	If either the front LH or front RH side air bag modules has been deployed: REPLACE front seat-back assembly on the deployed side.	If the front LH or front RH side air bag modules have NOT deployed: Visually check the seat on the collision side. Remove the seat on the collision side and check the following for damage and deformities. Harness, connectors and terminals Frame and recliner (for front and rear seat), and also adjuster and slides (for front seat) If no damage is found, reinstall the seat. If damaged-REPLACE the damaged seat parts using new fasteners. If the front seat back is damaged, the front seat back assembly must be replaced.
Center inner pillar	Check the center inner pillar on the collision side for damage (dents, cracks, deformation). If damaged-REPAIR the center inner pillar.
Trim/headlining	Check for visible signs of damage (dents, cracks, deformation) of the interior trim on the collision side. If damaged-REPLACE the damaged trim parts.
