When Disposing of Front Passenger Airbag Only

DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY

NOTICE:
- When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly only, never use the customers 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 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 side facing upward.




b. 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 sq. mm or more (0.0019 sq. in or more)

CAUTION: If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down with too thin wire harness, it may snap. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use which is at least 1.25 sq. mm (0.0019 sq. in).

HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section: Square = 3.14 X Diameter sq divided by 4




1. Pass the wire harness through the installation holes indicated by arrows in the installation.




2. Position the front passenger 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 that the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous if looseness in the 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 when disposing of the airbag use a 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 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 confirm 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.




d. Place tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied.
2. 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.
3. Tie the tires together with 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 slack for the wire harness.




e. Install the 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.

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. Confirm that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around the tire which the front passenger 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 the 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.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.

1. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the tire.
2. Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
