SRS Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment

NOTE:

- Before doing any SRS repairs, check the DTCs; refer to the appropriate Accord Shop Manual, for the less obvious deployed component (seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.)
- Do not replace the OPDS unit unless it is physically damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC troubleshooting; refer to the appropriate Accord Shop Manual.
- After a vehicle collision, inspect the front seat active head restraints; refer to the appropriate Accord Shop Manual.

After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed, replace these items:

- SRS unit
- Seat belt tensioners
- Front impact sensors

After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:

- SRS unit
- Deployed airbag(s)
- Seat belt tensioners
- Front impact sensors

After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:

- SRS unit
- Deployed side airbag(s)
- Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed
- Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that deployed
- Center pillar lower trim
- Complete seat frame

After a collision where a side curtain airbag has deployed, replace the items for the side(s) that deployed:

- SRS unit
- Deployed side curtain airbag(s)
- Seat belt tensioner(s) for the side(s) that deployed
- Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that deployed
- Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that deployed
- Rear safing sensor
- Roof trim
- Front pillar trim
- Center pillar upper trim
- Rear pillar trim
- Front grab handle
- Rear grab handle
- All related trim clips
- Sunvisor

After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. Replace the components as needed.
After a collision, where a side curtain airbag has deployed, replace all trim clips on that side, even if they appear to be undamaged. Replace the clips on these parts:

- Front pillar trim
- Center pillar lower trim
- Rear pillar trim

During the repair process, inspect these areas:

- Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, do not repair, any damaged harnesses.
- Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.

After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the ignition switch to ON (II). If the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS is OK. If the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS to read the DTC; refer to the appropriate Accord Shop Manual. If you cannot retrieve a code, do the SRS Symptom Troubleshooting.
