2019 Tacoma Curtain Airbags

Hello All,

Recently bought a salvaged titled 2019 Tacoma - Off road Package - Crew Cab

The left and right Curtain airbags were deployed and the driver seat belt tensioner has activated and is locked.

I'm looking to replace the airbags and send the seatbelt tensioner and crash module off to Safety Restore to be rebuilt and flashed.

My main question is how to get the SRS codes to make sure there is nothing beyond the obvious that needs replaced. A regular OBD2 reader wont get at them. I've seen a few mentioning shorting the diagnostic port and reading the blinks but I haven't seen anywhere that this is still applicable for the 3rd gen tacos. Not sure if the safety restore people will pull the codes off the crash module before wiping it.

I'm also looking to make sure I don't forget or overlook anything. --- Disconnect battery and short battery terminals before starting. --- Don't reconnect until you're done. --- Don't sniff the air bag powder. ---

Any other advice would be appreciated. The best lessons in life are those learned by others on your behalf.

These are the part numbers for the airbags best I can figure.

6218004050
6217004050

 

Why not call Safety Restore to see if they can pull the codes? Most likely that is all you need unless a sensor was damaged in the accident. Also check to see if it is cheaper to buy a used pre-tensioner instead of having that one rebuilt.

 

Just get you a scan tool that can do all systems, your probably gona need one anyway by the time your done.
They aren't terribly expensive anymore.

Wouldn't do any good to pull codes on the bench as it will have codes for everything that isn't connected.

 

you should be able to pull codes with OBDII reader that supports Toyota PIDs. Or techstream

 

One most SRS modules ignite they won't communicate anymore even with dealer scanners.

I've never heard of a module getting rebuilt. We just replace them.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Vlady - Perfect. I had found a service manual to download, from an appropriately dubious web site. But it's a bastard to hunt through. That got me both the procedure and close enough to find the codes in the 11,000+ pages

Dm93 - Useful info. Holy crap is that a rabit hole of information overload to dive into.

I guess I would preferer a Blue Tooth unit that connects to phone or tablet, no subscriptions, with Toyota package, under $300 +/-. The post below caught my eye as a possibility. Any other recommendations anyone?

"OBDLink MX+ and OBD Fusion will do the following modules in the picture below.
It comes free with Generic OBD codes.

You will need to buy the Toyota add-on bundle to access ABS, SRS, TPMS, Occupant Detection and IMMO.
It also comes with almost 200 Toyota PIDS. (Way to many to list)
The price was $14.99 for those features."

 

It is a legit app. I've been using it since 2018. PIDs do match Techstream.
