Front Passenger Airbag Assembly: Disposal

NOTE: When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the airbag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly which has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out-of-doors 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.
SST 09082-00700
When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger airbag assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VEHICLE
NOTE: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
1. Check functioning of the SST (See step 1-(a) on DISPOSAL ).

2. Disconnect the airbag connector.
  1. Remove the glove compartment door.
  2. Disconnect the connector cover from the lower instrument panel.
    NOTE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
  3. Disconnect the airbag connector.

3. Install the SST.
  1. Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the front passenger airbag assembly connector.
    SST 09082-00700, 09082-00760
    
    NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

  2. Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front of the vehicle.
  3. Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
    NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
  4. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.

4. Deploy the airbag.
  1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
  2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
  NOTE: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
5. Dispose the front passenger airbag assembly.

CAUTION:
- The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
NOTE: When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag assembly still installed.
DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTE:
- When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
- Be sure to follow the procedure given below when deploying the airbag.
NOTE: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
1. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (See REMOVAL ).
  CAUTION:
  - When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
  - Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing upward.

2. Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.
  Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm ² or more (0.0019 in. ² or more)
  
  CAUTION: If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down with too thin wire harness, it may snap. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness which is at least 1.25 mm² (0.0019 in.² ).
  
  NOTE: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
  
  Square = 3.14 X (Diameter) ² divided by 4

  Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
  
  Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
  
  Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
  
  Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
  CAUTION:
  - Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
  - Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
  NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a redundant tire.

4. Place tires.
  1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied.
  2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the wheel installed.

  3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
  CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous if loose wire harness result in the tires coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
  
  NOTE: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
