2003 Toyota Avalon Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: What are the essential steps to inspect the air bag system after a collision on 2003 Toyota Avalon?

  A: If your vehicle undergoes an accident you need to check the supplemental restraint system immediately after the event. The front passenger Air Bag assembly for vehicles that avoid accidents requires both a diagnostic system test and visual evaluation for damage indicators such as cuts, cracks or discoloration. Perform a second diagnostic check on the vehicle then examine every piece of the Air Bag assembly including wire harness and connectors along with examining the No.1 safety pad, instrument panel and their potential deformation or cracks until replacement becomes necessary. Visual inspections of the instrument panel reinforcement together with the wiring system for damage must be performed after conducting a diagnostic check when Air Bags deploy. Closely follow the same procedure for side Air Bag assembly evaluation based on whether the vehicle experienced a collision and Air Bag deployment status while inspecting seatback assembly components as well as their connectors for damage and tears. Visual checks with diagnostic meetings need to be applied to both steering wheel pad and spiral cable to verify the absence of deformation or damage. Any issues found in the SRS wire harness will require replacement of components that present faults or exhibit connector or breakage problems. A new Air Bag sensor assembly needs installation when it gets deployed or discovers malfunctions or experiences the drop. Another requirement exists for the side Air Bag sensor assembly. The diagnostic test combined with visual inspection for damage must be applied to the front Air Bag sensor before ordering a replacement if damage is found. Strict adherence to proper procedures takes priority for every component installation along with strict compliance to specifications and safety measures.
