Replacing Airbags 96' 4Runner

[Silver.T4R]

Hi all, sorry if theres already a thread on this but I've been digging around for quite a while and figured there'd be someone on here whos replaced airbags before. I recently picked up a 96' limited at auction that was in a minor front end accident and the airbags deployed, is there anything that needs to be done before installing new airbags? I picked up a new passenger side airbag from a upullit but I wasn't sure if the SRS module would need to be reset/cleared to keep it from going off when its installed or if any additonal parts need to be replaced. From what I saw on here, it looked like in 99' they updated the airbag system were seat belts, airbags and a few other parts would need to be replaced to get the system going again but I wasn't able to find a 96' FSM on what all needs to be done to get the older system working again.


TLDR; What needs to be done when replacing blown airbags on a 96' limited to get the SRS system working again?

Thanks in advance :cheers:

On my 97 I replaced both air bags and the airbag control module. I bought them from eBay. The person I got the passenger air bag from also sent me a module, so I ended up with an extra module. I would believe that's all you would need for a 96.

Thanks for the quick response, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything before putting the new airbags in. I swapped them in today and had a local body shop reset the airbag ECU and everything works as it should. Thanks again.
