Front Passenger Airbag Assembly
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL
CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
1. PRECAUTION
HINT
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the following procedure. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Dept. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
* An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
* Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly with 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.
2. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
HINT
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of SST Steering Pad.

(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
(d) Remove the glove compartment door assembly Removal.
(e) Remove the No. 1instrument panel box door sub-assembly Removal.
(f) Install SST.
(1) Disconnect the connector.
NOTICE:
When disconnecting the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
(2) Connect the SST connector to the instrument panel wire assembly.
SST : 09082-00700
SST : 09082-00780
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(3) Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the vehicle front side window.
(4) Maintaining sufficient clearance for the SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(5) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
(g) 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 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.
3. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
NOTICE:
* When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
* Be sure to follow the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
HINT
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of SST Steering Pad.
(b) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly Removal.
CAUTION:
* When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, work must be started at least 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
* When storing the front passenger airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(c) Install SST.
(1) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the front passenger airbag assembly.
SST : 09082-00802
09082-10801
09082-30801
(d) Using braided wire, tie down the front passenger airbag assembly to an unneeded tire.
Wire:
Stripped wire section
1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more
CAUTION:
If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire 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 section:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4
(1) Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
Minimum tire size:
Must exceed the following dimensions
Width:
185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter:
360 mm (1.18 ft.)
CAUTION:
* Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the front passenger airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.
* Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.
(e) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire tied to the front passenger airbag assembly.
(2) Place at least 2 tires onto the tire tied to the front passenger airbag assembly. The top tire should have a wheel installed.
NOTICE:
Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
(3) Tie the tires together with the 2 wires.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the front passenger airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.
(f) Install SST.
(1) Connect the SST connector.
SST : 09082-00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.
(2) Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tire.
(g) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the tire tied to the front passenger airbag assembly.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tire.
HINT
The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
(h) Dispose of the front passenger airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
* 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.
(1) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the tire.
(2) Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and dispose of it according to local regulations.
