What Steps Should Be Taken After an Air Bag Deployment on 2002 Jeep Liberty?

Question

Accepted Answer

Every vehicle using the road after its secondary restraints are deployed should have them changed. A faulty Clock Spring is needed if the driver air bag has deployed; if the passenger air bag has deployed, both the passenger air bag door and the passenger air bag mounting brackets are required replacements. Should a side curtain air bag deploy, you must replace the complete air bag unit, headliner and all associated parts from the upper A, B and C-pillars, because they are not made for reuse. The first step after a side curtain air bag deployment for sunroof cars is to inspect the tubes and hoses for the sunroof drain. After any vehicle impact damage, all surfaces or brackets that hold the Acm, Siacm and front impact sensors should be checked and repaired as needed, because wrong orientation may stop air bags from working properly in an accident. The other components of the vehicle should be inspected, but parts should be changed when damage is found. All initiators (squibs) in multistage air bags should be checked to make certain that they were all used during deployment. Power from the Acm triggers deployment of air bags through squib circuits, so verification that both air bag initiators are used ensures no hazardous materials are handled wrongly. air bag squibs should be checked with the Drbiii scan tool before starting to remove the air bags for disposal. Latest software is necessary on the Drbiii and it should be hooked up to the Dlc connector on the driver's side at the lower edge of the instrument panel. With the switch in the On position, you should check and write down the active Diagnostic Trouble Code (Dtc) data. Whenever squib E4, F, G4 or I, located on Driver or Passenger Squibs 1 and 2, is not active, the air bag must be handled as if they are both activated. After delivery, the cabin might include powder made of harmless particles and sodium hydroxide. The latter might irritate your skin, eyes, nose or throat. Thus, protect yourself by wearing safety glasses, rubber gloves and a shirt with long sleeves when hauling the mess out. Should the skin become irritated, soothing water should be applied and anyone experiencing nose or throat irritation needs to inhale fresh air until it stops bothering them. Cleanup should start with vacuuming any remaining powder inside the car, starting with the outside moving toward the inside and include vaccuming the heater and air conditioner outlets. When done vacuuming, pull the supplemental restraints out and may have to vacuum the vehicle a second time to clear all the powder.
