Front Passenger 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 front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly with 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 front passenger airbag assembly.
    • The front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  2. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER 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 front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
        • Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger 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 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE) 
    NOTE:
    • When disposing of the front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly (See REMOVAL  )
      CAUTION:
      • When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, work must be started at least 90 seconds after turning the engine switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
      • When storing the front passenger airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

    4. Using braided wire, tie down the front passenger 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 front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside

        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 front passenger airbag assembly may break loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
        • Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire as shown in the illustration.
        NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.
    5. Place the tires.
      1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire tied to the front passenger airbag assembly.
      2. Place at least 2 tires onto the tire tied to the front passenger 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.
