2009 Armada SE Vehicle was rear-ended and pushed into the car in front of me. Front airbags deployed and seatbelts locked up. I have had the seatbelts and controller rebuilt/reset. I installed a secondhand dashboard/airbag and drivers airbag. I am waiting for a new front impact sensor. It was not damaged but I feel better replacing it with new. Now to my question. Any precautions or tests I should perform before I reconnect the battery? I was looking for a startup procedure but Google is currently not my friend. Damage to the front and rear bumpers is minimal. No sheet metal damage.

No special procedures needed, the Bag Brain will self-test as soon as you turn the ignition on after reconnecting. Of course reconnect with the key in the off position if it's a hard key and not I-key.
