WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Ensure steering wheel, driver-side air bag module and passenger-side air bag are not loose. If components are loose, deploy air bag(s) using OFF-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT procedure.
- If deploying driver-side air bag module, disconnect lower spiral cable connector accessible by removing lower steering column cover. See Fig 1. If deploying passenger-side air bag module, disconnect passenger-side air bag connector, accessible by removal of glove box finish plate. See Figure.
- For either air bag, connect Deployment Tools (09082-00700 and 09082-00760) to air bag module connector. Position deployment tool at least 33 feet (10 m) from front of vehicle. Close all doors and windows of vehicle. Connect deployment tool Red clip to positive battery terminal and Black clip to negative battery terminal. Ensure no one is inside or within 33 feet (10 m) of vehicle. Press activation switch to deploy air bag. Because of heat, DO NOT touch air bag for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
