What essential checks should be conducted after a collision regarding the Air Bag assembly and related components on 2001 Toyota Echo?

Question

Accepted Answer

Following collisions requires a diagnostic system examination and visual inspection of all front passenger Air Bags to evaluate their condition including cuts and minute breaks and marked discoloration. This check must happen regardless of whether the vehicle participated in the collision. The Air Bag assembly must be taken out to assess wire connector conditions and instrument panel and reinforcement state for replacement if any damage is detected. Vehicle owners need to inspect Air Bag connectors after deployment along with wire harnesses while giving thorough attention to possible damage. All components of the side Air Bag assembly need visual and diagnostic examination to confirm no cuts or frayed damage exists before ordering new assemblies or seat covers. A complete check of the steering wheel pad and spiral cable needs to be conducted to detect any cuts and cracks or deformities because replacements become necessary when damage exists. A thorough inspection of the SRS wire harness must detect breaks and connector faults so a replacement of the Air Bag sensor assembly is necessary when it is deployed or showing malfunction. The front Air Bag sensor requires special damage inspection especially when the front fender sustains any damage. The door side Air Bag sensor needs both a diagnostic examination and visual inspection before replacement because deployed or faulty units require immediate replacement. First check all installation and removal guides to conduct necessary procedures for every component.
