Deployment When Disposing of Side Airbag Assembly
NOTICE:^ When disposing of the side 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 side airbag assembly.
CAUTION: Store the side airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing up.
b. Fix the side airbag assembly.
1. Install the 2 nuts in the side airbag assembly.
2. Using a service-purpose wire harness for tying down the side 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 things used to tie down the side airbag assembly, it may 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).
3. Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the side airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.
4. Position the side 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 the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the side airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
^ Always tie down the side airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use the redundant tire.
c. Check functioning of SST.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750
d. Install the SST
Connect the SST connector to the side airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
e. Place the tires
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side airbag assembly is tied.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the side airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the wheel installed.
3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous when loose 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.
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 side airbag assembly is tied to.
3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
g. Dispose of side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
^ The side 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 side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
^ Do not apply water etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
^ Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. Remove the side airbag assembly from the tire
2. Place the side airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts disposal.
