Deployment When Disposing of Front Passenger Airbag Assembly
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the air- bag.Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the vehicle and 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.
Remove Front Passenger Airbag Assembly:
1. REMOVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY.
CAUTION:
^ When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
^ Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment direction facing up.
Fix Front Passenger Airbag Assembly To Tire:
2. FIX FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY TO TIRE
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 sq. or more (0.0019 in. sq. or more)
HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section :-
Square = 3.14 x (Diameter) sq. divided by 4
CAUTION: If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down by too thin a wire harness, it may snap. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness which is at least 1.25 mm sq. (0.0019 in. sq.).
Fix Front Passenger Airbag Assembly To Tire:
1. Wrap the wire harness around the tire, passing the wire harness through the installation holes indicated by arrows in the illustration
Fix Front Passenger Airbag Assembly To Tire:
2. Position the front passenger 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 a loose wire harness results in the front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to the shock of the airbag deploying.
^ Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a redundant tire.
Confirm Functioning Of SST:
3. CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST
SST 09082-00700
Place Tires:
Place Tires:
4. PLACE TIRES
a. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied.
b. 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.
c. Tie the tires together by 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 of the airbag deploying.
HINT: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Provide at least 1 m (3 ft) of lack for the wire harness.
Install SST:
5. INSTALL SST
Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082-00700
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
6. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
a. Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
b. Confirm that no-one is within 10 m (33 ft) of the tire the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
c. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
Disposal Of Front Passenger Airbag Assembly:
7. DISPOSAL OF 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.
^ Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
^ Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
a. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the tire.
b. Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it the same way as other general parts.
