Honda HR-V: Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment

SRS COMPONENT REPLACEMENT/INSPECTION AFTER DEPLOYMENT (KA/KC)

Inspection

1. Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment - Inspect

NOTE:

• Do not repair damaged SRS wiring. Replace the affected wiring harness (es).
• Before doing any SRS repairs, check for DTCs with the HDS, for the less obvious deployed components (front seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, etc.).
• When replacing the front seat belt tensioner, check the seat belt mounting portion for deformation. If any deformation is found, repair it as needed.
• Do not replace the front passenger's weight sensor unit unless it is physically damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC troubleshooting because it could complicate troubleshooting other DTCs.
• After a vehicle collision, do the front passenger's weight sensor unit operation check.

After a collision where the driver's seat belt outer lap tensioner deployed, replace these items:

• SRS unit
• Front seat belt (s)
• Driver's seat belt outer lap tensioner
• Front impact sensor(s)

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

• SRS unit
• Deployed front airbag (s)
• Front seat belt (s)
• Front impact sensor(s)
• Cable reel (deployed driver's airbag)
• Dashboard (deployed front passenger's airbag)

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

• SRS unit
• Deployed side airbag (s)
• Front seat belt (s)
• Side impact sensor(s) (first)
• Side impact sensor(s) (second)
• Rear safing sensor
• B-pillar lower trim
• Seat frame and related parts

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

• SRS unit
• Deployed side curtain airbag (s)
• Front seat belt (s)
• Side impact sensor(s) (first)
• Side impact sensor(s) (second)
• Rear safing sensor
• A-pillar trim
• B-pillar upper trim
• Quarter pillar trim
• Front grab handle
• Rear grab handle
• All related trim clips
• Sunvisor
• Headliner

After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other related components. Replace the pillar trims and related clips as needed.

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 vehicle to the ON mode. 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 check for the DTCs. If you cannot retrieve a code, do the SRS Symptom Troubleshooting.

2. Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap - Check

Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap

To prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying and damaging the pillar trim (A-pillar trim, B-pillar upper trim, and quarter pillar trim), the overlap between the headliner and pillar trim must be 8.0 + 0/-3.0 mm (0.315 + 0/-0.118 in). To check the overlap, do this:

1. Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trim (B).

2. Apply masking tape (C) to the headliner to mark the upper edge of the pillar trim (D)
3. Remove the pillar trim, and measure the headliner overlap.
   • If the overlap is 8.0 + 0/-3.0 mm (0.315 + 0/-0.118 in), remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
   • If the overlap is more than 8.0 mm (0.315 in), go to step 4.
4. Carefully trim the headliner with a utility knife, reducing the overlap to 8.0 + 0/-3.0 mm (0.315 +0/-0.118 in)
5. Remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
