If the vehicle is involved in a collision, even if it is a slight collision, be sure to check the following systems.
1. Check for the following, and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• Airbag module is cracked or deformed.
• Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed or open.
• Harness wire is exposed.
• The module surface is fouled with grease, oil, water or cleaning solvent.
2. When installing a new driver’s airbag module, check for the following, and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• The steering wheel is in the way, making it difficult to install the airbag module.
• The clearance between the driver’s airbag module and steering wheel is not constant.
• When steering wheel deformation in axial and vertical directions exceed limits.
Standard:
Axial deflection A
Less than 6 mm (0.24 in)
Vertical deflection L
Less than 17 mm (0.68 in)
Check for the following, and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• Airbag module is cracked or deformed.
• Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed or open.
• Harness wire is exposed.
• Mounting bracket is cracked or deformed.
Check for the following, and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• Front seat, airbag module and mounting bracket are damaged or deformed.
• Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed or open.
• Harness wire is exposed.
Check for the following, and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• Airbag cover is scratched or torn.
• Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed or open.
• Harness wire is exposed.
• Mounting bracket and securing clip are cracked or deformed.

• Connector is scratched, cracked or deformed.
• Airbag is deployed.
7. SATELLITE SAFING SENSOR, SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND CURTAIN AIRBAG SENSOR
If the section of vehicle as shown in the figure is damaged, check the following items and replace the damaged parts with new parts.
• Satellite safing sensor, side airbag sensor and curtain airbag sensor are cracked or deformed.
• Mounting bracket is cracked or deformed.
• Satellite safing sensor is cracked or deformed. (model without rear seat center table)
• Connector is scratched, cracked or deformed.
• Side airbag or curtain airbag is deployed. (operating side)
Check for the following, and replace the damaged parts such as cracks, deformation, etc. with new parts.
• Combination switch
• Steering roll connector
Measure the overall length of steering column.
If the length is not within the specification, the steering column may be damaged. Replace it with a new part.
Standard: Overall length L
Tilt column
833.6+1.3 −0.3 mm (32.82+0.051 −0.012 in)
Tilt and telescopic column (measure while minimized)
RHD model and LHD model with keyless access
818.6+1.5 −1.5 mm (32.23+0.059 −0.059 in)
LHD model without keyless access
828.6+1.5 −1.5 mm (32.62+0.059 −0.059 in)
