Airbag Deployment When Scrapping Vehicle

HINT Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.




a. Check functioning of the SST.

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082-00700




1. Connect the SST to the battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.

HINT: Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected with the supplemental restraint system.




2. Check functioning of the SST
Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.

CAUTION: If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not use the SST.




b. Install the SST
1. Remove the under cover No.1.
2. Disconnect the airbag connector of the spiral cable.




3. Connect the SST connector to the airbag connector of the spiral cable.
SST 09082-00700

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.




4. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front of the vehicle.
5. Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.

NOTICE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

6. Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.




c. Deploy the airbag.
1. Confirm 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.

HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.

d. Dispose of steering wheel pad (with airbag).

CAUTION:
^ The steering wheel pad 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 steering wheel pad with the deployed airbag.
^ Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
^ Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with the deployed airbag.

1. When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the steering wheel pad still installed.
2. When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a steering wheel pad with deployed airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
