3. Inspect and Repair Components

  • Seatbelt and Pretensioner Inspection:

    • Remove the seat covers if necessary to access seatbelt connections.
    • Inspect the pretensioners for damage or disconnection; replace any faulty components.

  • Airbag Module and Wiring Check:

    • Locate the airbag control module, usually under the center console or dashboard.
    • Inspect the wiring harness for signs of damage; repair or replace as necessary.
4. Reconnect Battery and Test
  • Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Perform a system self-test if available to ensure all components are functioning properly.
5. Final Inspection
  • Make sure all connections are secure and reassemble any components removed during the repair.
  • Perform a test drive to monitor the airbag system and check that the warning light does not return.
