INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace with \
new parts.
Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the airbag has deployed.
Never repair a sensor in order to reuse it.
1. INSTALL AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a torx wrench, install the airbag sensor assembly with the 4 screw\
s. Torx wrench: T40 (Part No. 09042 −00020 or locally manufactured tool)
Torque: 21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
(b) Connect the connector.
NOTICE:
Installation of the connector is done with the sensor assembly installed\
.
Make sure the sensor assembly is installed to the specified torque.
If the sensor assembly has been dropped, or there are cracks, dents or o\
ther defects in the
case, bracket or connector, replace the sensor assembly with a new one.
When installing the sensor assembly, take care that the SRS wiring does not interfere with other
parts and is not pinched between other parts.
After installation, shake the sensor assembly to check that there is no \
looseness.

STEERING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Care must be taken to replace parts properly because they could affect the pe\
rformance
of the steering system and result in a driving hazard.
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) suc\
h as the
driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service o\
peration in the
correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possi-
bly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or \
installation of
parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices \
in the RS
section.
