2000 Toyota Land Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to inspect and repair the Air Bag system after a collision on 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: It is vital to perform both repair tasks and inspection procedures on Air Bags after a crash occurs. A diagnostic system check combined with visual examination of the front passenger Air Bag assembly must be performed on non-collision vehicles for any cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration on the component. A diagnostic system check and complete visual inspection of the front passenger Air Bag assembly should occur after removal for cars that experienced a collision without Air Bag deployment. Damage on the assembly must be inspected for similarity while inspecting wire harnesses for cuts and cracks and inspecting the instrument panel for deformation or cracks that lead to replacements when discovered. Begin another diagnostic check and check the instrument panel while inspecting the connector if the Air Bag has already deployed. The front passenger Air Bag assembly, instrument panel, or instrument panel reinforcement must be replaced if any damage is found. Steering wheel pads together with spiral cables require diagnostic system testing in undamaged vehicles followed by exam checks for damage removal from accident-involved cars while confirming the horn button contact plate and steering wheel remain undamaged. Air Bag deployment requires tests of both spiral cable connector and wire harness for damage. A replacement of the steering wheel pad as well as the steering wheel or spiral cable must occur when problems are detected during inspection. A thorough inspection of the Air Bag harness should include wired break checks together with connector status evaluation to ensure standard yellow connector use. The Air Bag sensor assembly demands replacement when it experiences deployment or if found faulty or if it drops from its position. Front fender damage warrants an inspection of the Air Bag sensor for possible damage because a replacement will be necessary in case of detected problems. Follow the required instructions while handling Air Bag components including the use of special tool 09561-22000 for the Air Bag sensor assembly and tool 09561-22001 for the front Air Bag sensor.
