KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    Tech Tips

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment contact the service department. of the distributor.

    CAUTION:


    • Never dispose of a lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

    • The lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

    • 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.

  2. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a battery as the power source to 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 SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:


        • Make sure that no one is near the vehicle when deploying the airbag.

        • The lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

        • Do not apply water, etc. to the lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 SST activation switch comes on.

  3. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    SST
    09082-00770
    09082-00700

    Note


    • Never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag when only disposing of the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

    • 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.


    1. A005I6KE17

      Check the function of SST Click here.

    2. Confirm that the ignition switch is turned off.

    3. Confirm that the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected.

    4. Remove the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly Click here.

      CAUTION:


      • Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      • When storing the driver side knee airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

      *a Wire Harness Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Harness Section

      Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly to the tire.

      Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section
      1.25 mm2 or more (0.00192 in.2 or more)

      CAUTION:

      Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly because they may snap due to 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 cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section: Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4


      1. Position the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

        Inner diameter
        360 mm (14.2 in.)

      2. Tie the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly to the tire with several wire harnesses.

        CAUTION:


        • Make sure that the wire harness is tight. If there is slack in the wire harness, the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

        • Always tie down the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

        Note

        The tire will be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.

    6. A005KUVE02

      Connect the SST connector to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

    7. Place the tires.


      1. A005L5ZE01

        Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly is tied to.

      2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.

        Text in illustration
        *1 Tires (2 or more)

        Note


        • Do not place SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

        • As the disc wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a disc wheel that you are planning to throw away.

        • As the tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use tires that you are planning to throw away.

      3. A005HOZ

        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.

    8. Install SST.

        SST
        09082-00700

        Note

        To avoid damaging 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.

      2. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tires.

    9. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.

      2. Connect the black clip of SST to the negative (-) terminal.

      3. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the tire to which the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly is tied.

      4. Press SST activation switch to 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 of SST activation switch comes on.

    10. A005IVI
