2003 Toyota Celica Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: How should the Air Bag be inspected after a collision on 2003 Toyota Celica?

  A: You should check the supplemental restraint system following any collision event. The inspection should include performing diagnostic testing on non-impacted vehicles while checking the front passenger Air Bag unit for severe damage and minimal fractures or color discolorations. Conduct a diagnostic system test followed by visual assessment of the front passenger Air Bag assembly after you remove it to detect any similar damage. Verify the wire harness for damaged areas or damaged areas and also check the instrument panel for deformities or cracks. All instances of instrument panel or reinforcement damage should lead to replacement of these components. Another diagnostic check must happen for vehicles with deployed Air Bags followed by a thorough inspection of both instrument panel and connector for any sign of damage. The front passenger Air Bag assembly needs to be installed per its specified procedure. The diagnostics check must precede side Air Bag component damage inspection which requires the same methods used for accident vehicles. The steering wheel pad and spiral cable require diagnostic checking to ensure complete visual inspection for damage before reinstallation when no interference must exist in the system. A comprehensive examination of the Air Bag harness should occur to detect broken components as well as damaged connectors. Replace any faulty elements. Air Bag sensor assembly testing must be completed before replacing the assembly when either deployment occurs or the components present faults during examination. Perform these checks also for side Air Bag sensors and front Air Bag sensors then replace all components which show deployment or damage. Persons working with door side Air Bag sensors need to execute inspection and replacement methods according to established protocols. The correct procedures must be followed in every step for component removal along with installation activities.
