If you take out the wrong fuse on the matiz it activates the air-bag warning light and you need to take it to a dealer to get it reset.
I think it would depend on the type of accident and direction of the force. Any Toyota dealer should be able to run diagnostics on the vehicle for you.
if its a used vehicle it could be because it was in a previous accident and the air bags have been deployed
No, vehicles should be able to start after a airbag is deployed. The accident itself could have made the vehicle unstartable.
You may have a blown fuse, or a short in your wiring due to the accident. Take the vehicle to someone who is experienced in workin with automotive electrical.
Yes, the airbag sensor often needs to be replaced after an accident, especially if the airbags have deployed. The sensor may be damaged or malfunctioning due to the impact, which can prevent the airbags from deploying properly in future accidents. It's important to have a professional assessment to ensure all safety systems are functioning correctly before the vehicle is considered safe to drive again.
If you fail to connect your safety belt and the air bag is deployed as the result of an accident , the air bag could hurt you if not kill you.
Do you have to pay a motor vehicle accident and for how long
General inexperience in driving - inattention to the operation of their vehicle or being distracted by other passengers or ESPECIALLY electronic communication devices.
When an unlicensed driver has an accident, the registered owner of the vehicle may face legal and financial consequences. The owner could be held liable for damages resulting from the accident, especially if they knowingly allowed the unlicensed individual to drive their vehicle. Additionally, the owner's insurance may not cover the accident, leading to potential out-of-pocket expenses. In some jurisdictions, the owner could also face fines or penalties for permitting an unlicensed driver to operate their vehicle.
You could sell it, but I don't believe you can return your vehicle to the dealership for a refund just because you are deploying.
We are handing a claim on a 2007 Toyota truck. This party was rear ended and now states her vehicle won't start. Minor rear end accident. does this vehicle have a kill switch????
You might have heard about scam airbag installers who just stuff newspaper in the airbag compartment, so yes you should research this. Request a CARFAX report to check the vehicle's accident history. The car might have an airbag light in the dash. Also, the dealer might be able to check the car's computer data which should record whether the airbag has ever deployed. Finally, you can take it apart and check.
