Instrument Panel Air Bag Assy Lower No.1 Disposal
DISPOSALHINT: When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1, 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 an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 instrument panel air-bag assembly lower No.1.
- The instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. DISPOSE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LOWER NO.1 (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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1.
e. Install the SST.
1. Connect the SST connector to the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00770
NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
2. Install the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
3. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle side window.
4. 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.
5. 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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LOWER NO.1 (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
NOTE:
- When disposing of the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1, 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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1.
CAUTION:
- When removing the instrument panel airbag lower No.1, 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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
c. Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 to the tire.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 sq.mm or more (0.0019 sq.in or more)
CAUTION: If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1, 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).
HINT: To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:
Area = 3.14 x sq.(Diameter) divided by 4
1. Position the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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. If there is slack in wire harness, the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
- Always tie down the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an extra tire.
d. Install the SST.
Connect the SST connector to the instrument panel air-bag assembly lower No.1.
SST 09082-00770
e. Place the tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 is tied to.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1.
CAUTION:
- The instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 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 an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to an instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. Remove the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 from the tire.
2. Place the instrument panel airbag assembly lower No.1 in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it as other general part disposal.
