Front Passenger Airbag Assembly: Disposal

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly 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 passenger airbag assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly 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 passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity.
To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.

    CAUTION:
    When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
    
    The front passenger airbag assembly 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 passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    
    Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly 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.
DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
NOTE:
- When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, 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.
1. Check the function of the SST (See DISPOSAL ).

2. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (See REMOVAL ).
  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 airbag deployment side facing upward.
3. Install the 2 nuts in the front passenger airbag assembly.

4. 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 mm ² or more (0.0019 in. ² or more)
  
  CAUTION: If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly, 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 mm² (0.0019 in.² ).

  HINT:
  
  To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:
  
  Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)² divided by 4
  1. Wind the wire harness around the brackets, 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 the wire harness, the front passenger airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
    
    Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
    NOTE: The tire will be damaged by airbag deployment, so use an extra tire.
5. Install the SST.
  1. Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag assembly.

6. Place the tires.
  1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
  2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.
    NOTE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
