• Q: What are the inspection and repair procedures for Air Bag systems after a collision on 2005 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Repair work and inspection processes need to take place on Air Bags after a car accident occurs. The supplemental restraint system of vehicles which were unaffected by collisions needs a complete checkup through diagnostic system testing and roof side inner garnish and headlining examinations for any discoloration or cracks or cuts. The diagnostic system must be checked while inspecting the curtain shield Air Bag assembly for cuts, tears, discolorations and the wire harness for possible damage in vehicles that received collision impacts but failed to activate their Air Bags. Product inspection includes a second diagnostic system check and examination for body deforms and cracks at the Air Bag installation points together with inspection for wire harness and connector integrity. Repair or replacement of the curtain shield Air Bag assembly and its cover becomes necessary when examination detects damage. The front passenger Air Bag assembly under all circumstances needs to be inspected for cuts, cracks and deformation of both the assembly and instrument panel. Examination of the side Air Bag assembly needs to be conducted for cuts and fraying since replacement becomes necessary when damage is identified. A thorough examination of the steering wheel pad and its spiral cable must take place while inspecting the horn button contact plate. The Air Bag harness requires evaluation for damage to wires and connectors that needs replacement if detected faults appear. The vehicle requires new Air Bag sensor assemblies if either deploy or demonstrate any functional problems. Furthermore, the front Air Bag sensors need inspection after any vehicle collision event. The replacement of curtain shield Air Bag sensor assembly must take place when it has been deployed or found faulty while side and curtain shield Air Bag sensor assembly replacement needs to occur in corresponding circumstances. Diagnostic checks must be conducted on the seat position Air Bag sensor then the assembly requires replacement when it is deployed during an accident. The correct procedures must be followed for component removal and installation steps while maintaining safety standards as well as meeting repair standards.
