What are the essential precautions to take when servicing an Air Bag system on 2006 Toyota Highlander?

Question

Accepted Answer

A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) on this vehicle consists of driver Air Bags as well as front passenger Air Bags and side Air Bags and curtain shield Air Bags and front seat belt pretensioners that require correct servicing procedures to stop warning systems from automatically deploying during maintenance and causing serious accidents. All operations should begin no earlier than 90 seconds after turning off the ignition and removing the negative terminal because the SRS Back Up power could activate Air Bags at any time. The components of the SRS system including steering pad and front passenger Air Bag assembly and sensors need to remain free from exposure to hot air or contact with flames. The inspection of DTCs must happen before any battery disconnection since any potential malfunction symptoms could prove difficult to verify. Examine all vital parts for damage after any crash that does not trigger the SRS system to activate. Every piece of SRS equipment requires a new one when replacing damaged parts and the technician must remove the sensor before doing any work that might shake it. You should avoid disassembling or repairing essential components including the steering pad and Air Bag assemblies at all times. Replace every component that displays damage. High-impedance (at least 10 kOhm/V minimum) features should be present when using a volt/ohmmeter in SRS component troubleshooting. Additionally, always follow warning labels regarding SRS component servicing. You must check warning lights after completing SRS jobs while remembering that disconnecting the negative (-) terminal will reset system memory and requiring prior notes of memorized contents and system status adjustments when returning systems to their original state. The mobile communication system service requirements should be followed when the vehicle is equipped with this technology and after reattaching the negative (-) battery cable you should execute a system initialization of the center Air Bag sensor assembly as well as multiple Air Bag sensors. Customers should wait for at least 90 seconds after negative (-) terminal cable removal for side and curtain shield Air Bag vehicles to proceed with changes. Also normalize each sensor installation correctly during connector joining and separation and prevent sensor usage in cases where equipment drops occur and refrain from dismantling Air Bag sensors.
