RAV4 parts by request

Toyota RAV4 airbags, seat belts, and sensor assembly reset

No RAV4 parts are listed at this time. Submit a part request with the year and VIN, or call 501-988-0611, and we will check availability for the 2013 through 2018 body or the generation after it. Mail-in service is separate, with a center airbag sensor assembly reset and seat belt repair for the RAV4 you are keeping.

Center Airbag Sensor Assembly

Why the RAV4 airbag light stays on after a crash

Toyota names the RAV4 airbag computer the center airbag sensor assembly, or airbag ECU. It sits at the center of the supplemental restraint system. It reads the front and side impact sensors, decides when to fire each airbag and pretensioner, and writes a permanent deployment record into its memory. On many RAV4 trims it also ties into the occupant classification system that decides whether the front passenger airbag arms.

Once a crash record is stored, the assembly locks and the airbag light stays on. A standard OBD2 scanner cannot clear it because the hard codes live inside the sensor assembly. Whether your RAV4 set off one airbag or several, the assembly has the crash on file and will not arm again until the data is cleared at the module level.

We reset your original RAV4 center airbag sensor assembly in our shop, wipe the stored crash data and hard codes, and return it factory-ready. You keep the part Toyota built for your RAV4. It holds its original VIN-matched coding and arms again as soon as it is reinstalled.

RAV4 by generation

RAV4 generations and where the sensor assembly lives

The RAV4 has grown across four-plus generations, and the sensor assembly stayed near the floor at the center of the vehicle. We reset every one from 1996 forward.

GenerationYearsModule location
XA101996 to 2000On the floor at the center, reached from the lower center dash
XA202001 to 2005Under the center console between the front seats, beneath the stereo
XA302006 to 2012Center floor tunnel under the console trim
XA402013 to 2018Under the center console on the floor, mounted near the floor console
XA502019 to presentLow and centered under the console between the front seats

On a RAV4 you remove the center console trim to reach the assembly, then unbolt it from the floor. Disconnect the battery and wait for the system to discharge before you touch any yellow SRS connector. Keep the assembly flat and square so it reads crash forces correctly when it goes back in. Call us if yours is hard to find on your year.

Common RAV4 SRS codes

RAV4 airbag codes we clear every day

Toyota uses B-series SRS codes on the RAV4. Deployment and crash-data codes clear with a reset. Squib and sensor codes can point to a part. Scan yours and look it up.

What we fix on your RAV4

Module reset and seat belts, by mail

We do two repairs for the RAV4. We reset the original center airbag sensor assembly and clear the stored crash data so the airbag light goes out. We also rebuild the RAV4 seat belts, because after a deployment the pretensioners fire, lock, and the webbing can seize. We restore single, dual, and triple-stage RAV4 belts and free locked retractors so they hold the way Toyota built them to.

We are clear about the limits. A module reset clears stored crash data. It is an electronics repair, so your RAV4 has to be mechanically safe and properly repaired before the system goes back in service. If a code points to a damaged part rather than stored data, we tell you.
