Dispose of Front Airbag Assy RH (When Disposing of Airbag Assy)
FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RHDISPOSAL
HINT: When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of the 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 TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
When disposing of a front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly which has an undeployed airbag.
- 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.
- When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag assembly.
- The front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH (WHEN DISPOSING OF AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT METHOD)
NOTE:
- When disposing of the front seat airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the air-bag.
- 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 seat airbag assembly.
1. Remove the front seat assembly.
2. Remove the 2 nuts and front seat airbag assembly from the seatback assembly.
CAUTION: Store the front seat airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing upward.
b. Using a service-purpose wire harness, tie down the front seat airbag assembly.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 sq.mm or more (0.0019 sq.in or more)
HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section :
Square = 3.14 x (sq.Diameter) divided by 4
CAUTION: If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is used to tie down the front seat airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use which is at least (1.25 sq.mm 0.0019 sq.in).
1. Install the 2 nuts in the front seat airbag assembly.
2. Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.
3. Position the front seat airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment direction 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 the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the front seat airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
- Always tie down the front seat airbag assembly with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use the redundant tire.
c. Check functioning 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 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.
3. Disconnect the SST from the battery.
d. Place the tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front seat airbag assembly is tied.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front seat 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 harness is tight. It is very dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
e. Install the SST.
Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the front seat air-bag assembly 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. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.
f. Deploy the airbag.
1. Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around the tire which the front seat airbag assembly is tied to.
3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-bag.
HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
g. Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
- The front seat 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 seat airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. Remove the front seat airbag assembly from the tire.
2. Place the front seat airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts disposal.
