Front Passenger Airbag Assembly Disposal

Check the function of SST (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XFD0FTX.html).

Read the precaution (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XFD0FTX.html).

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 (HILUX_TGN26 RM000004QR3008X.html).

Remove the glove compartment door assembly (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000SQH00WX_01_0059.html).

Install SST.

1. Disconnect the connector.
   

   NOTICE:

   When handling the airbag connector, do not damage the airbag wire harness.





2. Connect SST connector to the instrument panel wire.

   NOTICE:

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





3. Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front side window.

   *a	10 m or more

4. 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.

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

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 and deploy the airbag.
   

   CAUTION:

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

   HINT:

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

Check the function of SST (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XFD0FTX.html).

Remove the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000010B600XX.html).

CAUTION:

1. When removing the airbag, work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF and after the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.
   
2. When storing the airbag, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
   

Using service wire harnesses for the vehicle, tie down the airbag to a tire.

Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section:

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 the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, 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 airbag inside the tire so that the brackets contact the tire.

   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 assembly to the tire with several wire harnesses
   

   CAUTION:

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

   NOTICE:

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

Install SST.

1. Connect SST connector to the airbag.

Place the tires.

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

2. Place at least 2 tires on top of the tire to which the airbag is tied. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Do not place SST connector under the tire as the connector may 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 tires that you are planning to throw away.
      




3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
   

   CAUTION:

   Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is slack in a wire harnesses, the tires may come loose when the airbag is deployed.

Connect SST connector.

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 tire.

Deploy the airbag.

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

2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the airbag.
   

3. Press SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
   

   CAUTION:

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

   HINT:

   The airbag is deployed as SST activation switch LED illuminates.

Dispose of the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

1. The airbag becomes extremely hot when it is deployed. Do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
   
2. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed airbag.
   
3. Do not apply water to a deployed airbag.
   
4. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
   

1. Remove the airbag from the tire.
   

2. Place the airbag in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
