Driver-side & Passenger-side AIR Bag Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disable Toyota Hybrid System (THS) if necessary. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING TOYOTA HYBRID SYSTEM (THS) . Disconnect negative battery cable. Ensure steering wheel, driver-side air bag and passenger-side air bag modules are not loose. If components are loose, remove and deploy air bag(s) using OFF-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT  procedure.
  2. If deploying driver-side air bag module, disconnect Yellow lower spiral cable connector under lower steering column. If deploying passenger-side air bag, disconnect Yellow passenger-side air bag connector, accessible by removing glove box assembly. See Figure.
  3. For driver-side air bag, connect Deployment Tool (09082-00700) to spiral cable connector. For passenger-side air bag, connect Deployment Tools (09082-00700 and 09082-00760) to air bag connector. On both modules, position deployment tool at least 33 feet from front of vehicle. Close all doors and windows of vehicle.
  4. Connect deployment tool Red clip to positive battery terminal and Black clip to negative battery terminal. Ensure no one is inside vehicle or within 33 feet of vehicle. Press activation switch to deploy air bag. Because of heat, DO NOT touch air bag for at least 30 minutes after deployment. Scrap vehicle with air bag(s) still installed.
