CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

Tech Tips

Disposal procedure for the RH side is the same as that for the LH side.
The procedure described below is for the RH side.
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of a curtain shield airbag, 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:

Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag that has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag emits 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 curtain shield airbag.
The curtain shield airbag 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.

Tech Tips

Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
1. Check the function of SST.

  CAUTION:
  
  Always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool) when deploying the airbag.
  1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
  2. Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.
    
    CAUTION:
    
    Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
    
    If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
  3. Disconnect SST from the battery.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
3. Remove the roof headlining Click here.

  Disconnect the airbag connector, as shown in the illustration.
  
  Note
  
  Do not damage the airbag wire harness when handling the airbag connector.
5. Connect SST.

  1. After connecting SST, connect it to the curtain shield airbag.
    
    Note
    
    Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.
  2. Move SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle.
  3. Close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
    
    Note
    
    Do not damage the SST wire harness.
  4. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery 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 curtain shield airbag 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
    
    Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
    Tech Tips
    
    The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.

DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

Tech Tips

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

Check the function of SST.

SST

09082-00700

CAUTION:

Always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool) when deploying the airbag.
1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
2. Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.
  CAUTION:
  
  Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
  
  If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
3. Disconnect SST from the battery.

Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag.
Connect SST.

SST

1. After connecting SST, connect it to the curtain shield airbag.
  
  Note
  
  Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.

*1	Cut

Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the curtain shield airbag to the tire.

Stripped Wire Harness Section
Area	Measurement
A	1.25 mm²or more (0.0019 in.²or more)

CAUTION:

Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the curtain shield airbag because it may snap due to the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross section of at least 1.25 mm²(0.0019 in.²).

Tech Tips

To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness cross section:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)²divided by 4

Position the curtain shield airbag inside the tire, as shown in the illustration.

Tire Size
Area	Measurement
A	185 mm (7.28 in.)
B	360 mm (14.17 in.)

CAUTION:

Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is any slack in the wire harnesses, the curtain shield airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

Note

The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

Place the tires.

Text in Illustration

*1 Tire (2 or more)

CAUTION:

Do not place the curtain shield airbag with the deployment direction facing toward the ground.
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied. The disc wheel should be installed onto the top tire.
  
  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 harnesses are tight. It is highly dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Connect SST.

SST

09082-00700

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 SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied.
3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
  
  CAUTION:
  
  Make sure that no one is near the tire when deploying the airbag.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.
