• Q: How to service and repair the Air Bag Control Module on 2001 Toyota Prius?

  A: First task for Air Bag Control Module service and repair requires both the lower center cluster finish panel removal and Air Bag sensor assembly disassembly. Proceed with disconnecting the Air Bag sensor connectors while the assembly remains installed and use a Torx wrench (T40 Part No. 09042-00020 or local equivalent) to eliminate the four screws securing the Air Bag sensor assembly. Installation requires a Torx wrench to fasten the Air Bag sensor assembly through its four screws at 20 N.m (205 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf). After installation connect the Air Bag sensor connectors. Arial sensor assemblies should receive the designated torque requirement yet require replacement when show any form of damage or drop. After the SRS wiring installation be cautious to not pinch the wires and perform a loose assembly test by giving it a shake. Reinstall the lower center cluster finish panel as the last step of the installation process. All replacements of SRS components must be new parts because it is forbidden to fix or reuse any Air Bag sensor assembly from a deployed Air Bag collision.
