Disposal

HINT: When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of a front passenger 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 TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:

• Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly of which airbag has not been deployed.
• The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out of doors 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.

  SST 09082-00700

• When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger airbag assembly.
• The front passenger airbag assembly 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 front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VEHICLE

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

(a) Check the function of the SST (RS-20 ).

(b) Disconnect the airbag connector.

1.  Remove the glove compartment door.
2.  Remove the No. 1 under cover.

NOTICE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

3. Pull up the connector.
4.  Disconnect the airbag connector.

(c) Install the SST.

1.  Connect the connector of SST to the front passenger airbag assembly connector.

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00780

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

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

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

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

(d) Deploy the airbag.

1.  Check that no one is inside the vehicle, nor within 10 m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
2.  Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

• The front passenger airbag assembly 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 front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
• When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag assembly still installed.
• When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.

HINT: The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY

NOTICE:

• When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
• Be sure to follow the procedure given below when deploying the airbag.

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

(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (RS-31 ).

CAUTION:

• When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, 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 passenger airbag assembly, keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side facing upward.

(b) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.

Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in.2 or more)

CAUTION: If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed.

This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness which is at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section: Square = 3.14 X (Diameter)2 divided by 4

1. While passing the wire harness through the installation holes indicated by arrows in the illustration, wind the wire harness around the tire.

2. Position the front passenger airbag assembly 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. It is very dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deployment.
• Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a redundant tire.

(c) Check the functioning of the SST (See step 1-(a) on page RS-20 ).

SST 09082-00700

(d) Place tires.

1.  Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied.
2.  Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the wheel installed.

3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dangerous if loose wire harnesses result in the tires coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.

HINT: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Provide at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.

(e) Install the SST.

Connect the connector of the SST to the front passenger airbag assembly connector.

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00780

NOTICE: 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 tires.

(f) Deploy the airbag.

1.  Connect the red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2.  Confirm that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
3.  Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

HINT: The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

(g) Dispose of the front passenger airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

• The front passenger airbag assembly 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 front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.

1. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the tire.
2.  Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts disposal

3. DEPLOYMENT WHEN-DISPOSING OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYED IN A COLLISION

Dispose of the front passenger airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

• The front passenger airbag assembly 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 front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.

1.  Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the tire.
