2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How should the Air Bag be inspected after a collision on 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Following a car collision the first check must be a diagnostic system inspection of supplemental restraint systems. When no cars have collided the curtain shield Air Bag assembly requires visual evaluation to detect any injuries on the front pillar garnish and roof headlining or minor cracks, or visible discolorations. The front passenger Air Bag assembly must be removed when a collision occurred without Air Bag deployment to check for breaks and tears on curtain shield Air Bag assemblies which should also include wire connector and harness inspection. The deformation of the body area containing the curtain shield Air Bag and its connector and wire harness damage should be inspected while deploying conditions exist. When working with the curtain shield Air Bag assembly you must perform the correct procedure for removal and installation steps. Check the front passenger Air Bag assembly in the same way depending on whether a collision occurred as well as whether the Air Bag deployed before replacing any deformed or cracked parts. The side Air Bag assembly requires evaluation for seatback assembly cuts or frayed seams and seat adjuster inspection when an Air Bag has been deployed. Steering wheel pads should be checked for damage through a thorough examination of the horn button contact plate so that deformed components receive replacement. The SRS wire harness integrated to the cowl wire harness assembly should undergo testing for breakage and connector damage. The Air Bag sensor assembly needs replacement in all cases where it has been deployed or detected as faulty or dropped. The front Air Bag sensor should be checked for damage before its replacement because deployment will determine whether it needs to be replaced. Side and curtain shield Air Bag sensor assembly needs replacement after deployment. A seat position Air Bag sensor assembly demands a replacement after it deploys. Always follow proper component removal and installation procedures while using tool number 12345 as the Special Service Tool.
