• Q: How to service and repair the Air Bag Sensor Assembly on 2000 Toyota Tundra?

  A: Service and repair of the Air Bag Sensor Assembly should start by removing the lower center cover through the process of detaching its 2 clips. Beginning the service requires performing connector removal so disconnect the Air Bag sensor connectors while keeping the sensor assembly in place. The Air Bag sensor assembly needs removal through T40 torx wrench use (Part No.09042-00020 or equivalent local tools). After unscrewing the three securing bolts you can detach the assembly. The installation procedure mandates fresh SRS components while banning the use of any Air Bag sensor assembly when it has engaged in an accident or deployed previously. The torque wrench with torque setting at 20 Nm (205 kg.cm, 15 ft.lb) should be used to install three screws onto the Air Bag sensor assembly before reattaching the Air Bag sensor connectors while making sure the sensor assembly remains installed. Checking that the sensor assembly reaches its correct torque rating remains crucial. Have a new sensor on standby for replacement when the assembly demonstrates any indications of damage or shows evidence of impact. Before completing installation you should check that SRS wiring does not touch other components while also ensuring wiring is not squeezed between two parts. After installation shake the sensor assembly to verify it does not have any free movement. Reassemble the lower center cover as the last step.
