Toyota 4Runner: Disposal

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

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the instrument panel passenger airbag, 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 INSTRUMENT PANEL PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

HINT:

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

(a) Check the function of SST (See page ).

(b) Read the precaution (See page ).

(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

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

NOTICE:

When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See page ).

(d) Remove the instrument panel passenger airbag (See page ).

(e) Install SST.

(1) Disconnect the connector.

NOTICE:

When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

(2) Connect SST connector to the instrument panel wire.

SST: 09082-00700

SST: 09082-00780

NOTICE:

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

(3) Install the instrument panel passenger airbag (See page ).

(4) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle front side window. Text in Illustration *1 Battery *a 10 m or more

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

NOTICE:

Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

(6) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(f) 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 SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

HINT:

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

3. DISPOSE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL PASSENGER 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.

(a) Check the function of SST (See page ).

(b) Remove the instrument panel passenger airbag (See page ).

(c) After connecting SST to each other, connect them to the instrument panel passenger airbag. SST: 09082-00802 09082-10801 09082-30801

(d) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the instrument panel passenger airbag to a tire.

Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section:

1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2) or more

CAUTION:

If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie the instrument panel passenger airbag, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross-sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2).

HINT:

To calculate the cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section: Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Position the instrument panel passenger airbag inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

Tire size:

Must exceed the following dimensions

Width

185 mm (7.28 in.)

Inner diameter

360 mm (14.2 in.)

(2) Tie the instrument panel passenger airbag to the tire with several wire harnesses.

NOTICE:

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

(e) Connect SST connector to the instrument panel passenger airbag.

SST: 09082-00700

(f) Place tires.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the instrument panel passenger airbag is tied to.

(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the instrument panel passenger airbag is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.

(3) 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.

(g) Connect SST connector. Text in Illustration *1 Instrument Panel Passenger Airbag *2 Battery *a 10 m or more NOTICE: To avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for SST wire harness inside the tires.

(h) 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 tire which the instrument panel passenger airbag is tied to.

(3) Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tires.

HINT:

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

(i) Dispose of the instrument panel passenger airbag. CAUTION: The instrument panel passenger 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 an instrument panel passenger airbag with a deployed airbag. Do not apply water to an instrument panel passenger airbag with a deployed airbag. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation. (1) Remove the instrument panel passenger airbag from the tire. (2) Place the instrument panel passenger airbag in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
