FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

Tech Tips

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the front passenger 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 the DISTRIBUTOR.

CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly that has 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.

3. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
  
  Note
  
  Wait for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to prevent the airbag working.
4. Remove the front passenger airbag assembly. Click here
5. Install the SST.
  1. Disconnect the connector.
    
    Note
    
    When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
  2. Connect the SST connector to the instrument panel wire assembly.

    Note
    
    To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
  3. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle front side window.
  4. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
    
    Note
    
    Do not damage the SST wire harness.
  5. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the negative (-) terminal.
6. 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.
    Tech Tips
    
    The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

Note

When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

Tech Tips

Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

Remove the front passenger airbag assembly. Click here
CAUTION:
- When removing the front passenger airbag assembly, work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
- When storing the front passenger airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
Install the SST.
1. After connecting the SST below to each other, connect them to the front passenger airbag assembly.

Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.

Wire harness
Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm² or more (0.0019 in.² or more)

CAUTION:

If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm²(0.0019 in.²).

Tech Tips

To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)²divided by 4

Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside 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.)
CAUTION:
- Make sure that the wire harness is tight. If there is slack in the wire harness, the front passenger airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
- Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
Note

The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an extra tire.

Place the tires.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.
  
  Note
  
  Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
  
  CAUTION:
  
  Make sure that the wire harness is tight. Looseness in the wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Install the SST.
1. Connect the SST connector.

  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.
Deploy the airbag.
1. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
  
  CAUTION:
  
  When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tire.
