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:

(e) Disconnect the airbag connector from the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly. NOTICE: When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness. HINT: Refer to How to Connect or Disconnect Airbag Connector: Click here | |
(f) Install SST.
(1) Connect SST connector to the airbag connector of the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
SST: 09082-00780
(2) Connect SST together (09082-00700 and 09082-00780).
SST: 09082-00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging SST connector or 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 of the vehicle. |
|
(4) While maintaining sufficient clearance for SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage 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.
(g) 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:
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of SST activation switch comes on.
(h) Remove the horn button assembly.

CAUTION:
(i) Dispose of the horn button assembly.
(1) Place the horn button assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
CAUTION:
3. DISPOSE OF HORN BUTTON ASSEMBLY (When not Installed to 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:
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 SST activation switch and check that the LED of SST activation switch comes on. CAUTION:
| |
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.
(b) Refer to Precaution.

(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Click here
(d) Remove the horn button assembly.
Click here
(e) Install SST.
(1) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the horn button assembly. SST: 09082-00830 | |
(f) Using braided wire, tie down the horn button assembly to an unneeded tire and wheel set.
Wire:
Cross-sectional area of stripped wire
1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more
CAUTION:
If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the horn button assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with a cross sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).
*a | Wire Diameter |
Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area |
HINT:
To calculate the area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4
(1) Wind 3 wires at least 2 times each around each of the pins.
CAUTION:
*a | Remove looseness |
*a | 2 times or more |
(2) Face the airbag deployment side of the horn button assembly upward on top of an unneeded tire and wheel set. Separately tie the left and right sides of the horn button assembly to the wheel through the hub nut holes. Position SST connector so that it hangs downward through the hub hole of the wheel.
*a | Deployment Side |
CAUTION:
*a | Remove looseness |
Deployment Side |
NOTICE:
The tire and wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire and wheel.
(g) Install SST.
(1) Connect SST together (09082-00700 and 09082-10801). SST: 09082-00700 NOTICE: To avoid damaging SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for 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.
(h) Cover the horn button assembly (using a cardboard box).
(1) Cover the horn button 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:
X
460 mm (1.51 ft.)
Y
650 mm (2.13 ft.)
NOTICE:
X = 460 mm (1.51 ft.) + width of tire
(i) Cover the horn button assembly (using tires).
(1) Place at least 3 tires without wheels onto the tire and wheel set to which the horn button assembly is tied. |
|
(2) Place a tire and wheel set on top.
Minimum Tire Size:
Width
185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner Diameter
360 mm (1.18 ft.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with wheels except on the top and bottom.
NOTICE:
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wires. CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires will result in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed. | |
(j) 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 horn button assembly is tied.
(3) Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the airbag.
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of SST activation switch comes on.
(k) Dispose of the horn button assembly.
CAUTION:
(1) Remove the horn button assembly from the tire and wheel set.
(2) Place the horn button assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
