Honda CR-V: Component Replacement/Inspection After
Deployment
NOTE:
- Before doing any SRS repairs, use the HDS SRS
menu method to check for DTCs; refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index for the less obvious deployed
parts (seat belt tensioners, front impact sensors, side
airbag sensors, etc.)
- Do not replace the ODS unit unless it is physically
damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC
troubleshooting.

deployed, replace these items:"
- SRS unit
- Seat belt tensioners
- Seat belt buckle tensioners
- Front impact sensors
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed,
replace these items:

- Seat belt tensioners
- Seat belt buckle tensioners
- Front impact sensors
After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed,
replace these items:
- SRS unit
- Deployed side airbag(s)
- Side impact sensor(s) (first) for the side(s) that
deployed
- Side impact sensor(s) (second) for the side(s) that
deployed

After a collision1where the side curtain airbag(s).
deployed, replace these items:

A-pillar trim

B-pillar trim

C-Pillar trim

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
ignition switch ON (II). 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 SRS
Menu Method to read the DTC. If you
cannot retrieve a code, go to SRS Symptom
Troubleshooting.
Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Piliar
Trim Overlap
To prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying and
damaging the pillar trim, the overlap between the
headliner and pillar trim must be less then 0.3 in.
(8 mm). To check the overlap, do this:
1. Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trim (B).

2. Using masking tape on the headliner, mark the
upper edge of each pillar trim.

3. Remove the pillar trim, and measure the headliner
overlap.
- If the overlap is less than 0.3 in. (8 mm), remove
the tape, and install the pillar trim.
- If the overlap is more than 0.3 in. (8 mm), go to
step 4.

4. Carefully trim the headliner with a utility knife,
reducing the overlap to less than 0.3 in. (8 mm).

5. Remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
