Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly: Disposal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
  1. PRECAUTION 

    HINT

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Dept. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U S.A., INC.

    CAUTION:
    • An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
    • Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly that has an undeployed airbag.
    • The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.
    • When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
    • When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the curtain shield airbag assembly.
    • The curtain shield airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE) 

    HINT

    Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

    1. Check the function of SST (See DISPOSAL  )
    2. Refer to PRECAUTION 
    3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal
      CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      5. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal
    6. Deploy the airbag.
      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle
      2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag
        CAUTION:
        • When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
        • The curtain shield airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
        • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
        • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
        • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

        HINT:

        The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

  3. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE) 
    NOTE:
    • When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
    • Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

    HINT:

    Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

    1. Check the function of SST (See DISPOSAL  ).
    2. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly (See REMOVAL  ).
      CAUTION: When removing the curtain shield airbag assembly, work must be started at least 90 seconds after the engine switch is turned off and the negative (-) battery terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.

    4. Using braided wire, tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly to an unneeded tire

      Wire: 

      Stripped wire section 

      1.25 mm 2  (0.0019 in. 2  ) or more

      CAUTION: If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2 ).

      HINT

      To calculate the area of the stripped wire section.

      Area = 3 14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

      1. Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside the tire as shown in the illustration.

        Minimum tire size: 

        Must exceed the following dimensions 

        Width: 

        185 mm (7.28 in.) 

        Inner diameter: 

        360 mm (14.2 in.)

        CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the curtain shield airbag assembly may break loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
        NOTE: The tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.
    5. Install SST
      1. After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly

        SST 09082-00802 (09082-10801, 09082-20801)

    6. Place the tires
      CAUTION: Do not place the deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag assembly facing toward the ground.
      1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire tied to the curtain shield airbag assembly
      2. Place at least 2 tires onto the tire tied to the curtain shield airbag assembly. The top tire should have a wheel installed.
        NOTE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
