Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: In order to prevent unexpected airbag deployment, disconnect the following connectors before inspecting parts such as wire harnesses, if the application of tester probes to the center airbag sensor assembly connector is necessary.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position.
  2. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery and wait for at least 90 seconds.
  3. Disconnect the connector from the center airbag sensor assembly.
  4. Disconnect the connectors from the steering pad.
  5. Disconnect the connectors from the front passenger airbag assembly.
  6. Disconnect the connector from the front seat outer belt assembly LH.
  7. Disconnect the connector from the front seat outer belt assembly RH.

    HINT:

    Skip the following steps if side and curtain shield airbags are not fitted.

  8. Disconnect the connector from the front seat side airbag assembly LH.
  9. Disconnect the connector from the front seat side airbag assembly RH.
  10. Disconnect the connector from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
