CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (for Regular Cab) > DISPOSAL

for Preparation Click here


HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag 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.

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 curtain shield airbag that has an unactivated airbag.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 (32.8 ft.) away from the curtain shield airbag.
  6. The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.
  8. Do not apply water to a curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.
  9. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  10. 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.

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


    3. H041078E04
    4. Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle rear side window.

    5. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the rear side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

      NOTICE:
      Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
    6. Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of SST to negative (-) terminal.

  1. 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 activation switch of the SST and deploy the airbag.

      CAUTION:
      1. When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
      2. The curtain shield airbag becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
      3. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.
      4. Do not apply water to a curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.
      5. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

      HINT:
      The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.


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

NOTICE:
Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

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

  1. Check the function of the SST (Click here).

  1. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly (Click here).

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

    Wire harness:
    Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm2 or more (0.00193 in.2 or more)

    CAUTION:
    If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the curtain shield airbag, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.00193 in.2).

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

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

      Tire size:
      Must exceed the following dimensions

      Width:
      185 mm (7.28 in.)

      Inner diameter:
      360 mm (1.18 ft.)

      CAUTION:
      Make sure that the wire harness is tight. If the wire harness is loose, the curtain shield airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

      NOTICE:
      As the tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a tire that you are planning to throw away.

  1. Place the tires.

    CAUTION:
    Do not place the deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag facing the ground.

    1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied to.

    2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have the disc wheel installed.

      CAUTION:
      1. Do not place SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
      2. As the disc wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a disc wheel that you are planning to throw away.
      3. As the tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a tire that you are planning to throw away.

    4. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

      CAUTION:
      Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. Looseness in the wire harnesses results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
