Front Seat Side Airbag Assembly
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]
CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS part, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
1. PRECAUTION
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 seat 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 (32.8 ft.) away from the front seat airbag assembly.
* The front seat 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 seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
HINT
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the front seat airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first 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.
2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)
NOTICE:
* When disposing of the front seat airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
* Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
HINT
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Refer to Precaution Service Precautions.
(b) 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.
(c) Disconnect the connector from the front seat airbag assembly under the front seat assembly.
NOTICE:
When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
(1) Slide the slider to release the lock, and then disconnect the yellow airbag connector as shown in the illustration.
(d) Install SST.
SST : 09082-18010
SST : 09082-18040
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the front seat assembly.
(1) Connect the clip and terminal of SST.
(2) Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly connector.
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(3) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the 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.
(e) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Connect the clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.
(3) Connect the terminal of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal to deploy the front seat airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
* Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
* The front seat 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 seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
3. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)
SST : 09082-18010
SST : 09082-18040
NOTICE:
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
HINT
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front seat airbag assembly Removal.
CAUTION:
* Before removing the front seat assembly, wait at least 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
* When storing the front seat airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(b) Using braided wire, tie down the front seat 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 seat 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 / 4
(1) Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly.
(2) Wind the wires around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.
(3) Position the front seat airbag assembly inside the tire.
Minimum tire size:
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 seat airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.
* Face the front seat airbag assembly deployment surface toward the inside the tire to evenly distribute the force of deployment.
NOTICE:
The tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.
(c) Install SST.
SST : 09082-18010
SST : 09082-18040
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.
(1) Connect the clip and terminal of SST.
(2) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the front seat airbag assembly.
(d) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front seat airbag assembly is tied.
NOTICE:
* Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
* The tires and wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use unneeded tires and wheel.
(2) Place at least 2 tires onto the tire to which the front seat airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have a wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with the 2 wires.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires results in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed.
(e) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tire.
(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the front seat airbag assembly is tied.
(3) Connect the clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.
(4) Connect the terminal of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal to deploy the front seat airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the airbag.
(f) Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
* The front seat 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 seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
(1) Remove the front seat airbag assembly from the tire.
(2) Place the front seat airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and dispose of it according to local regulations.
