2001 Toyota Sienna Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: What essential steps should be taken after a collision regarding Air Bag assembly inspection and diagnostics on 2001 Toyota Sienna?

  A: Inspection of the front passenger Air Bag assembly combined with system diagnostics must be performed right after a collision for checking damage characteristics on both undamaged and damaged vehicles. The inspection of wire harnesses, connectors and instrument panel and safety pad retainers requires removing the assembly when the Air Bag does not deploy. Replace any damaged components with new ones. After Air Bag deployment check the condition of both the connector and the wire harness. The side Air Bag assembly requires the same thorough inspection to verify the absence of cuts and cracks and need replacement of deformed seat adjusters. The inspection of the steering wheel pad should identify all cuts and discoloration and a steering wheel assembly replacement must happen if any deformation is noticed. Measurement and replacement of Air Bag harness depend on the presence of breaks or damaged connectors. Replacement of Air Bag sensor assemblies is required following deployment or detection of faulty components. A replacement of the side Air Bag sensor assembly becomes necessary in cases where deployment occurs or it detects malfunction. The front Air Bag sensor requires inspection for damages when assessing vehicles with compromised front fenders. You should replace this component in case you detect any issues. You should always use proper procedures when replacing and installing all components as a part of safety protocols and specifications compliance.
