  Q: What is the purpose of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),Air Bag,Air Bag Control Module and Air Bag Sensor on Toyota Solara and 2002 through 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: All models are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly known as an Air Bag, to protect the driver and front seat passenger in a head-on or frontal collision. The system includes Air Bag Sensor, an Air Bag Control Module in the steering wheel and instrument panel, and a sensing/diagnostic module. Some models also have side impact airbags and side curtain airbags. The driver's side airbag inflates instantly when an electrical signal is sent, while the passenger's side airbag is larger and mounted above the glove compartment. Side impact airbags are in the seat backs, and side curtain airbags come out of the headliner to protect all passengers. The sensing and diagnostic module checks the airbag system's operation at every vehicle start. Caution must be taken when handling airbag modules, and specific procedures vary for component removal and installation.

  Q: What is the purpose of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),Air Bag and Air Bag Control Module on Toyota Camry and 2007 through 2015 Toyota Avalon?

  A: First of all, the system comprises airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel, impact sensors, and a diagnostic module. Some models also include knee, side, and curtain airbags. The airbag modules, containing the cushion and inflator, receive an electrical signal. The passenger airbag is above the glove compartment. The diagnostic module powers the system and checks its operation at start-up. Side and curtain airbags are activated by sensors during side impacts. Precautions include disarming the SRS before work, careful handling of modules, avoiding resistance measurement, and proper disposal.

  Q: What is the role and composition of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or airbag in Lexus ES300,Toyota Solara and 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?

  A: All models are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly known as an airbag, designed to provide protection for the driver and front-seat passenger in head-on or frontal collisions. The system comprises an airbag module located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel, along with a sensing/diagnostic module positioned in the center of the vehicle ahead of the floor console. The driver's side airbag module contains an inflator unit with an airbag housed within the steering wheel. An electrical signal from the system is transmitted through a coil assembly to the module, which then ignites the sodium azide/copper oxide powder in the inflator, rapidly inflating the airbag upon collision. Similarly, the passenger side airbag module, larger than the steering wheel-mounted unit, is located above the glove compartment. The side-impact airbag module offers extra protection on some models and is situated in the seat backs. The sensing and diagnostic module supplies current to the airbag system during collisions, checking its status on each vehicle start-up. Precautions include disarming the system before working near its components, ensuring safe handling and storage of airbag modules, and refraining from using electrical welding equipment on a vehicle equipped with airbags. Measurement of SRS component resistance and disposal of live airbag modules should also be avoided.
