DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing
of a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the
airbag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any
abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the
SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with an
airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given
in step 1-(e) in "DISPOSAL".
CAUTION:
S Never dispose of front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
S The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound
when it deploys, so perform the operation out of
doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.
S When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082-00700
SST S When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-
bag assembly.
S The front passenger airbag is very hot when the air-
AB0152 bag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 min-
utes after deployment.
S Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag.
S Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
S Do not apply water etc. to the front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.

(b) Disconnect the front passenger airbag assembly connec-
tor.
(1) Open the glove compartment door.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the glove compart-
ment door finish plate.
H02740 (3) Pull up the connector from the glove compartment
door finish plate.
(4) Disconnect the front passenger airbag assembly
connector.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connector of 2 SST to the front passen-
ger airbag assembly connector.

NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
10 m (33 ft) or more (-) terminal.

(d) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.

CAUTION:
S The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
S Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
S Do not apply water etc., to a front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
S Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
(1) When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag
assembly still installed.
(2) When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
front passenger airbag assembly with deployed air
bag, use gloves and safety glasses.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
S When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
S Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly.
(See page RS-27 )
CAUTION:
Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag
deployment side facing upward.
H10756
(b) Fix the front passenger airbag assembly to a tire.
Wire Harness
(1) Use a service-purpose wire harness for tying down
Diameter the front passenger airbag assembly.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in2 or more)
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Stripped Wire Harness Section Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly it
may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed.
This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for ve-
hicle use which is at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in2).
(2) Passing the wire harnesses through the installation
holes as shown in the illustration.

Width
(3) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in-
side 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.)
Inner
Diam. (4) Wind the wire harness around the tire tightly.
CAUTION:
H10758 S Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to
the shock from the airbag deploying.
S Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, when dis-
posing of the airbag so use a redundant tire.
(c) Check functioning of SST. (See page RS-16 )

(e) 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
Tires passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire
(5 or More)

(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dan-
gerous if loose wire harnesses result 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.
