2000 Toyota RAV4 Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: What are the essential steps to conduct repairs and inspections on the Air Bag system after a collision on 2000 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Post-collision vehicles need necessary examinations of their Air Bag system together with remedial operations. A system diagnostic test must precede front passenger Air Bag assembly visual inspection for all cuts and cracks as well as discolorations of the Air Bag door. The examination of undeployed Air Bags should include diagnostic system testing followed by visual surveys of the Air Bag assembly after removal to check for instrument panel and reinforcement deformation along with Air Bag door, wire harnesses, connector damage. Instrument panel and reinforcement replacement is necessary when deformation occurs. The instrument panel should never interfere with the Air Bag door position after its installation in the system. When an Air Bag deploys in any vehicle you need to run a diagnostic check followed by an examination of instrument panel and reinforcement and their connectors for signs of damage and deformation. The required parts for replacement include the front passenger Air Bag assembly together with instrument panel and reinforcement as well as glove compartment door. The steering wheel pad and spiral cable require an inspection of similar severity levels to determine any damaged components which need replacement during installation while maintaining sufficient space. A detailed inspection of the SRS wire harness should be done for all vehicles but especially for those involved in collisions because these vehicles require special focus. Any circumstance of Air Bag sensor assembly deployment or detection of a defect or drop requires a new replacement. The front Air Bag sensor should be inspected for damage in vehicles that have been involved in collisions in order to determine whether replacement is needed. Follow the precise installation procedures when working with the front passenger Air Bag assembly 84010-0C020 and both the steering wheel pad 45130-0C020 as well as the Air Bag sensor assembly 89170-0C020.
