2009 Toyota 4Runner Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the essential precautions and procedures for handling Air Bag systems on 2009 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: All SRS components of this vehicle include driver and front passenger Air Bags together with side Air Bags curtain shield Air Bags and front seat belt pretensioners. Begin any operation only when waiting at least 90 seconds after switching to "LOCK" position and battery terminal cable removal. All SRS components should remain free from exposure to either hot air or fire contact. A procposal with minimum impedance of 10 kOhms/V should be used during diagnostics with a required step to verify DTC-readings before discharging the battery power. Battery power loss triggers memory reset during the disconnection process. All SRS components need to be inspected regardless of Air Bag deployment status when the vehicle experienced a minor collision. The use of SRS parts from other vehicles remains prohibited since manufacturers recommend new part installation with a strict order to avoid altering factors involving Steering Pad, Front Passenger Air Bag Assembly, Front Seat Side Air Bag Assembly, Curtain Shield Air Bag Assembly, Center Air Bag Sensor Assembly, Front Air Bag Sensor, Front Seat Inner Belt Assembly, Seat Position Sensor, Occupant Classification ECU, Side Air Bag Sensor, Rear Air Bag Sensor, or Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly. Before repairing side Air Bag-equipped doors or installing new sensors it is necessary to wait 90 seconds after terminating the negative cable connection. All operations on Air Bag sensors should follow procedures that prevent both dropping and disassembly. After an accident occurs it is necessary to check SRS warning lights followed by Air Bag sensor replacement if Air Bags deployed during the collision. The yellow-colored SRS connectors use security mechanisms to maintain stable connections while also guarding against mechanical disconnections. Safely position the connectors by pushing the lock button then raising the connector until completion of hook and locking sleeve procedures for steering pad, curtain shield Air Bag assembly and front seat outer belt assembly. Users need to move the slider on both the front passenger Air Bag assembly and front seat side Air Bag assembly before unconnection can commence. Ensure lock buttons properly receive the button for connections while addressing connecting procedures for front Air Bag sensors, side Air Bag sensors and rear Air Bag sensors by using outer connector locking sleeves to achieve secure connections during removal and reinstallation.
