DISPOSAL
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS part, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
PROCEDURE
1. PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the steering pad 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 TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
2. DISPOSE OF STEERING PAD (When Installed in Vehicle)
NOTICE:
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of SST.
SST: 09082-00700
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool
(1) Connect SST to the battery. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal. | |
(2) Check the function of SST. Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch comes on. CAUTION:
| |
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.
(b) Refer to Precaution.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the auxiliary battery negative (-) terminal to disable the SRS system.
(i) Disconnect the airbag connector from the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly.
(1) Slide the slider to release the lock, and then disconnect the connector. NOTICE: When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness. |
|
(j) Install SST.
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel assembly and steering pad assembly.
(1) Connect the SST connector to the airbag connector of the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly. SST: 09082-00700 SST: 09082-00780 NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. | |
(2) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front side window of the vehicle. |
|
(3) While maintaining sufficient clearance for the SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to 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.
(k) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
(l) Remove the steering pad assembly.

CAUTION:
(m) Place the steering pad assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
3. DISPOSE OF STEERING PAD (When not Installed in Vehicle)
NOTICE:
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of SST.
SST: 09082-00700
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool
(1) Connect SST to the battery. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal. | |
(2) Check the function of SST. Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch comes on. CAUTION:
| |
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.
(b) Remove the steering pad assembly.

CAUTION:
(c) Using braided wire, tie down the steering pad assembly to an unneeded tire.
Wire:
Cross-sectional area of stripped wire
1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more
CAUTION:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the steering pad assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).
*a | Wire Diameter |
*b | Stripped Wire Section |
HINT:
To calculate the area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4
(1) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the steering pad assembly. SST: 09082-00802 09082-10801 09082-30801 | |
(2) Wind 3 wires at least 2 times each around each of the pins. CAUTION:
|
|
(3) Face the airbag deployment side of the steering pad assembly upward on top of an unneeded tire and wheel set. Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering pad assembly to the wheel through the hub nut holes. Position the SST connector so that it hangs downward through the hub hole of the wheel. CAUTION:
NOTICE: The tire and wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire and wheel. |
|
(d) Install SST.
CAUTION:
Place the wheel on level ground.
(1) Connect the SST connector.
SST: 09082-00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc wheel.
(2) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the wheel. |
|
(e) Cover the steering pad assembly (using a cardboard box). (1) Cover the steering pad assembly with a cardboard box. (2) Place weights on the cardboard box in 4 places totaling at least 190 N (19 kg, 42.7 lb). Minimum cardboard box size: Must exceed the following dimensions X 460 mm (1.51 ft.) Y 650 mm (2.13 ft.) NOTICE:
|
|
(f) Cover the steering pad assembly (using tires).
(1) Place at least 3 tires without wheels onto the wheel and tire to which the steering pad assembly is tied. |
|
(2) Place a wheel and tire on top.
Minimum tire size:
Must exceed the following dimensions
Width
185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter
360 mm (1.18 ft.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with wheels except for on the top and bottom.
NOTICE:
(3) Tie the tires together with the 2 wires. CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires results in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed. | |
(g) 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 (32.8 ft.) radius of the wheel to which the steering pad assembly is tied.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the airbag.
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
(h) Dispose of the steering pad assembly.
CAUTION:
(1) Remove the steering pad assembly from the wheel.
(2) Place the steering pad assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
