FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a seat belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of the distributor.

PROCEDURE


  1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

    CAUTION:


    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with a deployed pretensioner.

    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt with a deployed pretensioner.

    • When deploying the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical interference.

    Note


    • When disposing of a front seat outer belt with a pretensioner, never deploy the pretensioner in the customer's vehicle.

    • Never dispose of a front seat outer belt assembly with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.

    • The seat belt pretensioner produces an exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb local residents.

    • When deploying a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the front seat outer belt.

    • Be sure to follow the procedure listed below when deploying the seat belt pretensioner.


    1. B006NF8N01

      Check the function of SST.

      SST
      09082-00700

      CAUTION:

      When deploying the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.


      1. B006RCBC11
        *1 Battery

        Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.

        Tech Tips

        At this time, do not connect the yellow connector. It will be connected to the seat belt pretensioner in a later step.

      2. B006OEWN01

        Press the SST deployment switch and check that the LED of the SST deployment switch illuminates.

        CAUTION:

        If the LED is illuminated when the deployment switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. In this case, do not use the malfunctioning SST.

    2. Disconnect the front seat outer belt pretensioner connector.


      1. 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.

      2. Remove the lower center pillar garnish.

      4. B006PEPC02
        *1 Locking Button
        B006PCE Protective Tape

        Using a screwdriver, pull out the locking button in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration to release the lock, and disconnect the pretensioner connector as shown in the illustration.

        Tech Tips

        Tape the screwdriver tip before use.

        CAUTION:


        • B006OZM

          Do not deploy if the front seat outer belt assembly is loose.

        • If deployed while the front seat outer belt assembly is loose, the front seat outer belt assembly may fly off and cause serious injuries.

        • B006OGD

          Do not deploy if the seat belt is loose.

        • If deployed while the seat belt is loose, the seat belt may wind back and cause serious injuries.

    3. Connect SST.

      SST
      09082-00700

      1. B006R4RE01

        Connect 2 SST, and then connect them to the front seat outer belt pretensioner.

        Note

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

      2. B006NPJC24
        *a 10 m or more

        Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the front of the vehicle.

        CAUTION:


        • B006N3M

          Do not deploy with all the doors and door windows open.

        • If deployed with all the doors and door windows open, dust and gas may enter the eyes or be breathed in.

      3. Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.

        Note

        Do not damage the SST wire harness.

    4. Deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.


      1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

      2. Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.

      3. Press the SST deployment switch to deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.

        Tech Tips

        The seat belt pretensioner will deploy at the same time as the LED of SST illuminates.

        CAUTION:


        • Do not perform this procedure indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured. Also, do not deploy SRS parts near residential areas.

          B006LQJ
        • B006QBD

          If this procedure is performed indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, the deployment noise creates a nuisance to nearby residents.

    5. B006LDM

      Dispose of the front seat outer belt assembly.


      1. Remove the front seat outer belt assembly and SST.

      2. Place the front seat outer belt in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly, and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.

        CAUTION:


        • B006LU0

          The front seat outer belt assembly becomes extremely hot when the pretensioner is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

        • If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.

        • B006Q22

          Do not apply water etc. to a front seat outer belt assembly with a deployed pretensioner.

        • If water is applied to the front seat outer belt assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.

        • B006R8P

          Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a front seat outer belt assembly.

        • If the front seat outer belt assembly is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.

        • After removal, quickly seal the front seat outer belt assembly in a plastic bag.

        • B006OQA

          Never dispose of a front seat outer belt assembly with an undeployed pretensioner.

        • If an undeployed front seat outer belt assembly is disposed of, and then deploys for any reason, unforeseen injuries may occur.

        • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

        Tech Tips

        When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioners, and then scrap the vehicle with the deployed outer belt installed.

  2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)
