Product Description
Discovery 3 Airbags and SRS Sensors
Important Notes:
Inspection and replacement of SRS equipment (airbag modules, steering wheel rotary coupler, seat belt pre-tensioners and ECU's) is dependent on type and severity of crash condition. The following guidelines are the minimum that should be exercised as a result of the deployment of specific SRS components.
If airbags are deployed, the following parts must be replaced:
- Relevant airbag module(s)
- Link harnesses connecting relevant module(s) to SRS harness or main harness (repair harnesses may be found in the Wiring Harnesses & Cables section)
- Relevant seat belt pre-tensioner(s)
- Driver's seat belt inertia reel and anchorage
- Rotary coupler behind steering wheel
- Relevant SRS deployment control module(s)
The following should be inspected for damage and replaced where necessary:
- Passenger's seat belt inertia reels and anchorages
- Trim mouldings adjacent to passenger's airbag modules
- Steering wheel
- Seat frames and head restraints
- Steering column
If either or both seat belt pre-tensioners are deployed in a rear impact, the following parts must be replaced:
- Both seat belt pre-tensioners
The following should be inspected for damage and replaced where necessary:
- Seat frames and head restraints
- seat belt retractors and anchorages
- SRS deployment control module
In addition, because of deterioration of airbag propellants over a period of time, the manufacturers recommend replacement of airbag modules, seat belt pre-tensioners and the rotary coupler at 15 year intervals.
Please note that airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners cannot be shipped by mail order and may only be collected from the counter. Storage and fitment of modules and pre-tensioners is potentially seriously hazardous and must be carried out by trained personnel using correct equipment.
