Post-Collision Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check diagnostic system. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. Replace center air bag sensor if air bag deployed. Remove steering wheel pad and air bag assembly. Check for following conditions and replace components as necessary:
- Cut, cracked or markedly discolored steering wheel pad top surface and steering wheel pad grooved portion.
- Cut, cracked or chipped connectors or wire harnesses.
- Deformity of horn button contact plate and front air bag sensor bracket.
- Peeling off of label or damage to series number on front air bag sensor.
WARNING:
If horn button contact plate is deformed, never repair it. Instead, replace entire steering wheel assembly. Ensure steering wheel pad does not contact steering wheel. Clearance must be uniform all the way around steering wheel pad.
