HANDLING OF A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN A COLLISION
Refer to the LEXUS Repair Manual for the SRS airbag system inspection procedures.
If impacts are likely to occur to the front airbag sensors, side airbag sensor assemblies, No. 2 side airbag sensor assemblies, rear airbag sensors, door side airbag sensors, seat position airbag sensor, or airbag ECU assembly remove each sensor as necessary beforehand.
Do not allow the front airbag sensors, side airbag sensor assemblies, No. 2 side airbag sensor assemblies, rear airbag sensors, door side airbag sensors, seat position airbag sensor, or airbag ECU assembly to become heated to high temperatures.
Check the wire harnesses and connectors for damage and/or melting, as some areas of the airbags and seat belt pretensioners may heat up to several hundred degrees when they operate.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING ELECTRIC WELDER
Check the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
If one or more DTCs are displayed:
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
Disconnect all the malfunctioning circuit connectors.
Disconnect the airbag ECU assembly connector.
If DTCs are NOT displayed:
Inspect for damage to the electric wiring harnesses and connectors.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
Disconnect the airbag ECU assembly connector.
DOOR SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR (PRESSURE SENSOR) DESCRIPTION
A door side airbag sensor is installed to the center of the front door.
The sensor detects pressure changes between the door outer and door inner according to deformation of the door panel.
The door side airbag sensor (pressure sensor) and side airbag sensor (G sensor) perform ignition judgement using AND circuits for improved side airbag deployment.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN REPAIRING BODY
| *1 | Door side airbag sensor |
| *2 | Air inlet |
Ensure the front door outer and door inner are airtight.
Apply masking tape to the door side airbag sensor to prevent the entry of foreign matter.
Note
Decreased airtightness between the front door outer and door inner may affect detection performance.
Use large, clearly visible pieces of masking tape to prevent tape from being left on the sensor after the procedure.
