A:
Proper operation of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) sensing system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment of the airbag (s) in a frontal collision or deployment of the airbag (s) for conditions less severe than intended.

01/11/2022 Q: What should we know about deploying the Outside Vehicle-Steering Wheel Module, I/P Module, And Side Impact Module?
A:
Dual-stage deployments are only used in the steering wheel and I/P inflator modules. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual-stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual-stage module is required both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the airbag. On the steering wheel dual-stage inflator module both connectors must be attached to the deployment harness adapter. This will ensure that both stage 1 and stage 2 of the deployment loops are energized, regardless of the deployment state.
