Deployment When Disposing of Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly
DISPOSALHINT:
When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of the side 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 the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a side airbag assembly which has an undeployed airbag.
- 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.
- When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool), perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082-00700
- When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag assembly.
- 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 side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
- When disposing of the curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly.
b. Cut off the deployment section in airbag from inflator.
c. Using a service-purpose wire harness, tie down the curtain shield 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 a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is used to tie down the side airbag assembly, it may be 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.).
HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section-
Square = 3.14 x sq.(Diameter) divided by 4
1. Passing the wire harness through the installation holes as shown in the illustration.
2. Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment direction 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 curtain shield airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so when disposing of the airbag use a redundant tire.
d. Check functioning of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
e. Place the tires.
CAUTION: Place the tire so that the deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag will be downward.
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 are 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. Install the SST.
Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the curtain shield airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082-00700, 09082-00760
NOTE: 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.
g. 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.
h. Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
- The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly from the tire.
2. Place the curtain shield airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts disposal.
