  Q: How to remove the curtain shield Airbag assembly on Scion xD?

  A:

  The first task for curtain shield Air Bag assembly removal is disconnecting the negative battery cable terminal. Start by taking off the deck board assembly before removing both No. 1 and No. 2 rear seat leg covers from the right and left sides followed by the rear seat assemblies from both sides. The procedure starts with removing both front and rear door scuff plates as well as the front and rear door opening trim Weather Strips. The procedure requires removal of rear deck trim cover alongside luggage hold belt striker assembly and rear seat outer belt assemblies from both sides and the deck trim side panel assemblies. The next step demands removal of roof side inner garnish assemblies combined with Seat Belt anchor cover caps as well as front seat outer belt assemblies and center pillar and front pillar garnishes. Take out the assist grip as well as the visor assemblies, visor holders, room light assembly and map light assembly. You need to remove the instrument cluster finish center panel sub-assembly followed by the glove compartment door assembly and the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly and combination meter assembly and upper instrument panel sub-assembly. Attend to the rear center seat outer belt assembly removal along with its seat belt anchor cover before proceeding to uninstall the roof headlining. Detach the right side curtain shield Air Bag assembly by first removing its 4 clips using a clip remover and then using needle-nose pliers to take the Air Bag off the body. Unlock the locking mechanism with a thin-bladed screwdriver to disconnect the connector and distinguish the 4 bolts for removal of the assembly after freeing the two hooks. Let go of the clips and spacers while replacing all used clips and spacers with fresh ones. First remove the curtain shield Air Bag bracket by unscrewing the bolt then separating the hooks and after that handle the roof side rail bracket in the same sequence.

  Q: How to install the curtain shield Airbag assembly on Scion xD?

  A:

  The first step to install the curtain shield Air Bag assembly requires shutting off the ignition switch and disconnecting the battery negative terminal and waiting 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag activation. The roof side rail bracket should be installed by placing its 2 hooks into body holes then tightening the bolt to reach 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 86 in-lbf) torque. The installation of the curtain shield back bracket requires similar procedures as the roof side rail bracket with tightened bolts to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 86 in-lbf). Place four brand new clips and four new spacers on the curtain shield Air Bag assembly before you fasten it with four new bolts. Tighten Bolt A to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 86 in-lbf) and Bolt B to 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). During installation avoid twisting the assembly. Embed pins into all clips by strong force while adding marks to prevent any reuse of components before installing the Air Bag connector with proper locking button locking. Proceed to install the roof headlining, Seat Belt anchor cover, shoulder belt anchor cover RH, rear center seat outer belt assembly, upper instrument panel sub-assembly, glove compartment door assembly, combination meter assembly, instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, and other interior components, following the specified torque settings and installation procedures for each part, including the rear seat assemblies and leg covers, before finally connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) and inspecting the SRS warning light.
