Steering Pad -- Disposal

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.

1. PRECAUTION

CAUTION:

An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
Never dispose of a steering pad with 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 steering pad.
The steering pad 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 steering pad with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water etc. to a steering pad with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the steering pad, 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:

When disposing of the steering pad, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

HINT:

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

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:
  1. Do not connect the yellow SST connector to the airbag.
  2. If the LED comes on when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST is malfunctioning. Replace SST.
3. Disconnect SST from the battery.

Refer to Precaution (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000KT10H0X.html).

Install the steering wheel assembly (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM0000035Q201KX_01_0029.html).

Install the steering pad (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000UW60A5X_01_0001.html).

Install SST.
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel assembly and steering pad.
1. Disconnect the yellow airbag connector from the spiral cable.
  NOTICE:
  When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.
2. Connect the SST connector to the airbag connector of the spiral cable.

  NOTICE:
  To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
3. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the front side window of the vehicle.
4. 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.
5. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

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 the SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.
  CAUTION:
  1. Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
  2. The steering pad 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 steering pad with a deployed airbag.
  4. Do not apply water etc. to a steering pad 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.

3. DISPOSE OF STEERING PAD (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTICE:

Be sure to follow the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

HINT:

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

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:
  1. Do not connect the yellow SST connector to the airbag.

3. Disconnect SST from the battery.

Remove the steering pad (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000UW80A1X.html).
CAUTION:
1. When removing the steering pad, before the work is started, leave the vehicle at least 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. When storing the steering pad, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

Using braided wire, tie down the steering pad to an unneeded wheel.

CAUTION:
If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the steering pad, it may be snapped by the shock 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).

  CAUTION:
  1. Tightly wind the wires around the bolts so that there is no slack.
  2. Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the steering pad may break loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
4. Face the airbag deployment side of the steering pad upward on top of an unneeded tire and wheel set. Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering pad 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:
  1. Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the steering pad may break loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
  2. Always tie down the steering pad with the airbag deployment side facing upward.
  NOTICE:
  The wheel will be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded wheel.
5. Connect the SST connector.
