Dispose of Front Seat Airbag Assy (On Vehicle)
FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSYDISPOSAL
HINT:
- Disposal procedure of the RH side is the same as that for the 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 assy, 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, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a front seat airbag assy 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 airbag assy.
- The front seat airbag assy 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 assy with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assy with a deployed airbag.
DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
a. Check the function of the SST (see step 1-(a)).
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 pressed, SST malfunction is possible, so be sure not to use the SST.
3. Disconnect the SST from the battery.
b. Precaution.
c. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
d. Remove the 4 bolts from the front seat assy.
HINT: Keep the front seat assy in the cabin.
e. Install the SST.
1. Disconnect the connector (yellow colored one) from the front seat airbag assy.
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 assy.
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 4 bolts to the front seat assy.
Torque: 37 Nm (375 kgf.cm, 27 ft.lbf)
4. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle front side window.
5. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the front 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 airbag.
CAUTION:
- When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
- The front seat airbag assy 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 assy with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assy 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.
