FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY > DISPOSAL

for Preparation Click here


HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of an instrument panel passenger 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:
  1. 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.
  2. Never dispose of a front passenger airbag that has an undeployed airbag.
  3. 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.

  4. B104819E01
    When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
  5. When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger airbag.
  6. The front passenger airbag becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
  7. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
  8. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  9. 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.

      The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.



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

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

  1. Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the front passenger airbag to the tire.
    Stripped Wire Harness Section 
    Area
    		Measurement
    A
    		1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in.2 or more)

    CAUTION:
    Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the front passenger 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).

    HINT:
    To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness cross section:
    Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4




      B215691E01

    1. Position the front passenger airbag inside the tire, as shown in the illustration.
      Tire Size 
      Area
      		Measurement
      A
      		360 mm (14.17 in.)
      B
      		185 mm (7.28 in.)

      CAUTION:
      1. Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is any slack in the wire harnesses, the front passenger airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
      2. Always tie the front passenger airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

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



    B214042E02

  1. Place the tires.

    		Tire (2 or more)

    1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied.

    2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied. A disc wheel should be installed onto the top tire.

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



      3. B105087

    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.



    B213979E01

  1. Connect SST.

    SST
    09082-00700
