FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (for Sedan): Disposal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of an instrument panel passenger airbag, deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the DISTRIBUTOR.

CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag that has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag emits 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.
The front passenger airbag 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 which has been deployed.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

  1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
  2. Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch illuminates.
    CAUTION:
    Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
    
    If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
  3. Disconnect SST from the battery.

  2. Move SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle.
  3. Close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
    NOTE: Do not damage the SST wire harness.
  4. 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:
    Make sure that no one is near the vehicle when deploying the airbag.
    
    The front passenger airbag becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at feast 30 minutes after deployment.
    
    Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
    
    Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
    
    Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
    HINT:
    
    The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch illuminates.

DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTE:

Never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag when disposing of the front passenger airbag.
Follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

HINT:

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

Check the function of SST.
SST 09082-00700

CAUTION: Always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool) when deploying the airbag.

1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
2. Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch illuminates.
  CAUTION:
  - Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
  - If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
3. Disconnect SST from the battery.

Remove the front passenger airbag (see REMOVAL ).
CAUTION:
- When removing the front passenger airbag, work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to OFF and the cable is disconnected from the negative battery terminal.
- When storing the front passenger airbag, keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side facing upward.
Connect SST.
SST 09082-00802 (09082-10801, 09082-30801)

NOTE: Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.

Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the front passenger airbag to the tire.

Stripped wire harness section:

WIRE HARNESS MEASUREMENT CHART

Area	Measurement
A	1.25 mm² or more (0.0019 in.² or more)

CAUTION: Do not use wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the front passenger airbag because it may snap due to the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross section of at least 1.25 mm² (0.0019 in.² ).

HINT:

To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness cross section:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)² divided by 4

Position the front passenger airbag inside the tire, as shown in the illustration.

Tire size:

TIRE SIZE MEASUREMENT CHART

Area	Measurement
A	185 mm (7.28 in.)
B	360 mm (14.17 in.)

CAUTION:

Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is any slack in the wire harnesses, the front passenger airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Always tie the front passenger airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

Place the tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied. The disc wheel should be installed onto the top tire.
  NOTE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
  CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is highly dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
