| Investigations Summary: | This investigation was opened on Aug. 18, 2015. It was closed on Jun. 17, 2016. Odi has identified 19 voq reports alleging failure of the air bag srs control module. One of the reports involved a frontal crash event where the frontal air bags did not deploy. The crash resulted in an injury to the driver and lone occupant, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by the agency. According to the reports, the failure of the srs module is indicated by the air bag readiness indicator lamp illuminating on the instrument panel. Consumers report the srs control module had to be replaced to correct the condition. Several reports indicated that the srs module was unable to communicate thus preventing diagnostic trouble codes from being retrieved. An inability of the srs unit to communicate raises concern about the readiness of the entire supplemental restraints system. As a result, for vehicles with a failed srs module, some or all of the air bags may be unavailable in a crash warranting deployment. Odi is opening this investigation to further evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged srs module failures. The voq reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.
