2005 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What steps should be taken to check the Air Bag system after a collision on 2005 Scion xB?

  A: A diagnostic system check of the Air Bag system needs to happen right after a collision takes place. Marked discoloration and cuts accompanied by minute cracks should be checked for on the horn button assembly top surface and grooved portion during visual inspections of vehicles that avoided collisions. The inspection must incorporate removal of the horn button assembly in collision-damaged vehicles to check for similar damage in addition to evaluating connector cracks and horn button assembly and contact plate deformation. A deformed horn button contact plate requires a replacement of the horn button assembly that should not impede the steering wheel assembly. When inspecting the instrument panel passenger Air Bag assembly perform a diagnostic system check along with visual damage evaluation of both mounted and unbonded status by inspecting the wire harness and instrument panel distortion. Replace all affected parts whenever any kind of deformation or cracking occurs. A diagnostic system check should be conducted on the Air Bag front sensor and any replacement procedures must begin when defects such as cracks or damage are detected. The seat position Air Bag sensor requires a visual damage check while seat belt assemblies need their buckle switch tested through seat belt fastening and releasing as well as resistance measurements between terminals before replacing the inner belt assembly. A necessary circuit analysis for the Air Bag seat position sensor requires you to replace the inner belt assembly.
