2006 Toyota Solara Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the essential precautions to take when servicing an air bag system on 2006 Toyota Solara?

  A: The SRS consists of driver Air Bag and front passenger Air Bag together with side Air Bag and curtain shield Air Bag in the vehicle which needs proper servicing procedures to stop accidental Air Bag activation and prevent potentially dangerous accidents. Wait for at least 90 seconds after setting the ignition switch to LOCK position while detaching the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery since the SRS maintains a power Back Up. The SRS components including steering pad, front passenger Air Bag assembly, center Air Bag sensor assembly, front Air Bag sensor, front seat inner belt assembly, seat position Air Bag sensor, front seat Air Bag assembly, side Air Bag sensor assembly, curtain shield Air Bag assembly, and rear Air Bag sensor need to remain free from exposure to hot air or flames. The SRS diagnosis requires checking DTCs before removing power from the battery system and also includes inspecting all components even when the SRS does not activate during minor crashes. SRS repair requires removal of Air Bag sensors when dangerous impact is possible together with exclusive use of brand-new SRS components instead of salvaged parts from other vehicles. Do not take apart or fix components within the SRS system while immediately replacing all parts displaying signs of deterioration. The volt/ohmmeter must have a high impedance setting of at least 10 k Ohms/V to troubleshoot electrical circuits and SRS component warnings should always be read first. Always check the SRS warning light after completion of SRS work because negative (-) terminal cable disconnect erases system memory and require recording system conditions before starting tasks and restoring them to original settings afterward. The mobile communication system requires correct service procedures before reinstalling the negative (-) battery cable and initiating the Power Window Control System and Sliding Roof System. When working with Air Bag sensors it takes 90 seconds of disconnected negative (-) terminal cable time before sensor replacement and side/curtain shield Air Bag door adjustment. Complete sensor installation is necessary during connector operations and discarding dropped Air Bags along with not opening sensor units.
