2003 Toyota 4Runner Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to inspect and repair Air Bag systems after a collision on 2003 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: Vehicle safety requires immediate inspection and repair procedures for the Air Bag system after any collision incident. The CURTAIN SHIELD Air Bag ASSEMBLY of non-collision vehicles requires both diagnostic system verification and an examination of the front pillar garnish and roof headlining for cutting damage and small fractures along with discoloration. The diagnostic system check should be accompanied by visual examination of the assembly for similar damage while all wire harnesses need inspection for cuts and cracks and connector chips should be checked too in vehicles that experienced a collision with undeployed Air Bags. The diagnostic system check should be completed along with visual assessments for all FRONT PASSENGER Air Bag ASSEMBLIES of vehicles at standard inspection points on the instrument panel. The inspection involves examining the entire assembly for damage together with reinforcement and instrument panel in addition to checking wire harnesses and connectors in vehicles experiencing collisions without Air Bag deployment. All necessary components need replacement when damage exists. When inspecting the FRONT SEAT Air Bag ASSEMBLY perform both diagnostic tests and visual checks for damage in any situation with emphasis on wire harness and connector examination. The checks for the HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY need to examine both the steering wheel and contact plate while replacing any deformed elements. Routines to inspect the SRS wire harness within the Air Bag HARNESS must detect breaks and cracks while linking all connectors to standard yellow specifications. Diagnostic checks will establish the need for new Air Bag sensor assembly replacement after deployment. Rear side Air Bag sensor shares the same component replacement method with the SIDE Air Bag SENSOR ASSEMBLY. Physical checks of the Air Bag FRONT SENSOR must be done to detect damage after any minor or major collision accidents. It requires replacement when it deploys during impact. The examination process for both the Air Bag SENSOR REAR and SEAT POSITION Air Bag SENSOR will proceed identically to other components requiring part replacement after deployment has occurred.
