Airbag Deployment When Scrapping Vehicle

HINT: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.




a. Confirm functioning of the SST

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082-00700




1. Connect the SST to the 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. Confirm functioning of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and confirm the LED of the SST activation switch light up.

CAUTION: If the LED light up when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not use the SST.




b. Disconnect the side airbag connector.

NOTICE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.




c. Install the SST
1. Connect the 2 SST connector to the airbag connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750

NOTICE: To avoid damage 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 (-) 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 SST activation switch lights up.

e. 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.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still installed.
