Front Seat Airbag Assy Disposal
DISPOSALHINT:
- When scrapping a vehicle equipped with a SRS or disposing of an front seat 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.
- When disposing of a side airbag assembly with an airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given in step 1-e. in DISPOSAL".
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a airbag with an non-activated airbag.
- The airbag produces a loud, exploding sound when it activates. Perform the operation where it will not be nuisance to people near by.
- When activating the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform operation in a place away from electrical interference.
- When activating the airbag, stand at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag.
- The airbag is very hot when the airbag is activated. Do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a airbag with the deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water to a airbag with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY TOGETHER WITH VEHICLE
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
a. Check if the SST is functioning properly (see step 1-(a)).
SST 09082-00700
1. Connect SST to the battery.
Connect the SST red clip to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) battery terminal.
HINT: The yellow connector will be used to connect to another SST in step (e).
2. Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch turns on.
CAUTION: If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not pressed, SST may have a malfunction, in which case that SST should not be used.
3. Disconnect SST from the battery.
b. Follow the precaution.
c. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
d. Disconnect the airbag connector.
1. Remove the 4 covers and 4 bolts.
2. Disconnect the side airbag connector.
NOTE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
e. Install SST.
1. Connect SST A to SST B. Then connect SST B's connectortor to the airbag connector.
SST 09082-00700 for SST A,
09082-00760 for SST B
NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
2. Install the seat with the 4 bolts.
3. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front side window.
4. Maintain a small opening in the front side window for the SST wire harness. Close the remaining windows at the vehicle. Close all doors.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
5. Connect the SST red clip to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of the SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
f. 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.
g. Dispose of the airbag.
CAUTION:
- When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
- The airbag becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed. Do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water to a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
