INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH AND RH
(a) Install the front airbag sensors with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 20 N´m (205 kgf´cm, 15 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Connection of the connector is done after the sensor
assembly has been installed.
Make sure the sensor is installed with the specified
torque.
If the sensor has been dropped, or there are cracks,
dents or other defects in the case, brackets or con-
nector, replace the removed sensor with a new one.
The front sensor is equipped with an electrical con-
nection check mechanism. Be sure to lock this mech-
anism securely when connecting the connector. If the
connector is not securely locked, a malfunction code
will be detected by the diagnostic system.
HINT:
Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor fac-
ing toward the front of the vehicle.
(b) Connect the front airbag sensor connector.

DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the air-
bag 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:
Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound
when it deploys, so perform the operation out-of-
doors 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 op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082-00700
When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-
bag assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check functioning of the SST (See step 1-(a) on page
RS-17).

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(2) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) termi-
nal.

CAUTION:
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag.

the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to the front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag as-
sembly still installed.
When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has the
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
HINT:

tivation switch lights up.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly (See page
RS-28).

When removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the nega-
tive (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the bat-
tery.
When storing the front passenger airbag assembly,
keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side
facing upward.
