2002 Toyota 4Runner Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the inspection and repair procedures for Air Bag systems after a collision on 2002 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: A post-collision inspection with possible fixations must be done to the Air Bag system. Carrying out diagnostic checks and visual inspections of front passenger Air Bags should be performed on both collision and non-collision vehicles. A diagnostic system check must precede visual checks on the Air Bag assembly and wire harnesses along with connectors and instrument panel and reinforcement as well as the need to replace any deformed or cracked components instead of making repairs. Perform a diagnostic check again if the Air Bag deployed then inspect the instrument panel together with the wire harness to detect any damage. The replacement of the front passenger Air Bag assembly is required after discovering any detected faults. The inspection method for the steering wheel pad and spiral cable parallels the others in which you should check for damage and confirm the steering wheel pad has the correct distance from the wheel. When needed you must replace either the steering wheel pad or steering wheel or spiral cable. Serious examination of the SRS wire harness within the cowl wire harness assembly should occur to detect breakage or damaged connectors as necesary replacements will follow. The replacement of the Air Bag sensor assembly becomes necessary in situations where deployment has occurred or if it proves faulty or if it drops. Carry out diagnostic tests on the front Air Bag sensor while inspecting it for damages before conducting replacements when required. When working with these components follow correct safety procedures and adhere to specification requirements during removal and installation steps.
