Restraint wiring repair needs an approved method

Not every wiring repair method is appropriate for every restraint circuit. The vehicle manufacturer may specify how a damaged section is repaired or require replacement of particular parts.

How to approach the assessment

Ask the responsible repairer which instructions apply to the identified harness. Do not twist wires together, fit bypass devices or probe deployment circuits as a test. An electronics enquiry should include the damage and work already performed so its scope is clear.

Useful details to send

  • Harness location and damage report.
  • Previous repair method if known.
  • Manufacturer-directed repair proposal.

Arrange the right assessment

This guide does not establish that a vehicle is safe to use. Restraint repairs need qualified assessment and the correct manufacturer instructions. A module service does not replace required component repairs or vehicle-level verification.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our SRS module assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
