This a change from criteria dating back to 2016 which said scans only needed to be done for “damage as a result of a collision that may affect electrical systems.”

July 23, 2021—Toyota has changed its Collision Repair Information Bulletin (CRIB), noting that every vehicle must undergo a health check diagnostic scan before and after every repair if a vehicle “has sustained damage as a result of a collision.”

This a change from criteria dating back to 2016 which said scan’s only needed to be done for “damage as a result of a collision that may affect electrical systems.”

It also changed the language that the OEM “strongly recommends” pre- and post-scan repairs to “it is necessary.”
