Front Seat Airbag Assy LH Disposal
DISPOSALHINT:
- Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
- The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
- When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the front seat airbag assembly LH, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA, INC.
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a front seat airbag assembly LH that has an undeployed airbag.
- The airbag produces 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 seat airbag assembly LH.
- The front seat airbag assembly LH 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 seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
a. Check the function of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
1. Connect the SST to the battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check the function of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
CAUTION:
- Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
- If the LED comes on when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is possible, so replace the SST with a new one.
3. Disconnect the SST from the battery.
b. Precaution.
c. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
CAUTION: After removing the terminal, wait for at least 90 seconds before starting the operation.
d. Remove the 5 bolts from the front seat assembly LH.
HINT: Keep the front seat assembly LH in the cabin.
e. Install the SST.
1. Disconnect the connector (yellow colored one) from the front seat airbag assembly LH.
NOTE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
2. Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly LH connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750
NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
3. Install the 5 bolts to the front seat assembly LH.
4. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle side window.
5. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
6. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) 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 air-bag.
CAUTION:
- When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
- The front seat airbag assembly LH 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 seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly LH with 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.
2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
NOTE:
- When disposing of the front seat airbag assembly LH, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
- Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
a. Check the function of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
1. Connect the SST to the battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check the function of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
CAUTION:
- Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
- If the LED comes on when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is possible, so replace the SST with a new one.
3. Disconnect the SST from the battery.
b. Remove the front seat airbag assembly LH.
1. Remove the front seat assembly LH.
2. Remove the 2 nuts and the front seat airbag assembly LH from the seatback assembly.
CAUTION:
- When removing the curtain shield airbag assembly LH, 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.
- When storing the front seat airbag assembly LH, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
c. Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the front seat airbag assembly LH.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 sq.mm or more (0.0019 sq.in or more)
HINT: To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section :
Area = 3.14 x sq.(Diameter) divided by 4
CAUTION: If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front seat airbag assembly LH, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 sq.mm (0.0019 sq.in).
1. Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly LH.
2. Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly LH as shown in the illustration.
3. Position the front seat airbag assembly LH inside the tire as shown in the illustration.
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. If there is slack in wire harness, the front seat airbag assembly LH may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
- Always tie down the front seat airbag assembly LH with the airbag deployment direction facing inside the tire.
NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an extra tire.
d. Install the SST.
1. Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly LH connector.
SST 09082-00750
e. Place the tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the front seat airbag assembly LH is tied to.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the front seat airbag assembly LH is tied to. The top tire should have the disc wheel installed.
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 harness is tight. Looseness in the wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
f. Install the SST.
Connect the SST connector.
SST 09082-00700
NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.
g. Deploy the airbag.
1. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the tire which the front seat airbag assembly LH is tied to.
3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-bag.
CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tire.
HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
h. Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly LH.
CAUTION:
- The front seat airbag assembly LH 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 seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
