(4) Connector Twin-Lock Mechanism
With this mechanism connectors (male and female
connectors) are locked by 2 locking devices to in-
crease the connection reliability. If the primary lock
is incomplete, ribs interfere and prevent the sec-
ondary lock.
(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the deceleration sen-
sor go on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts
on the sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharg-
ing into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rap-
idly increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking
open the steering wheel pad and instrument panel.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or
side.

SRS AIRBAG
PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
The AVALON is equipped with SRS, which comprises a driver airbag, front passenger airbag
and side airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause
the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Fur-
ther, if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before performing servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspec-
tion or replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct proce-
dures described in the repair manual.
Work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and
the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds
from disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly,
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air
or flames.
NOTICE:
Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the most impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always in-
spect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front
passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sor and side airbag sensor assembly should be inspected.
(See page RS-15, RS-30, RS-44, RS-57, RS-64, RS-69, RS-74 and RS-79)
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensor during
repairs.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side
airbag assembly, airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly
in order to reuse it.
If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag sen-
sor assembly, front airbag sensor or side airbag sensor assembly has been dropped, or if there
are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace it with new one.
Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 kW/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system's
electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruc-
tions on the notices.
After work on the SRS is completed, perform the SRS warning light check (See page DI-349).
When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as they
were before and adjust the clock. This vehicle has power seat which are all equipped with
memory function. However, it is not possible to make a record of the memory contents. So when
the work is finished, it will be necessary to explain this fact to the customer, and ask the custom-
er to adjust the features and reset the memory. To avoid erasing the memory in each memory
system, never use a back- up power supply from outside the vehicle.

DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a steering wheel pad (with airbag), 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 steering wheel pad 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 steering wheel pad.
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
the deployed airbag.
1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(4) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(5) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(6) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) termi-
nal.
(c) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
the deployed airbag.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the steering wheel pad still
installed.
When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
steering wheel pad with deployed airbag, use gloves
and safety glasses.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF STEERING
WHEEL PAD ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the steering wheel pad (with air-
bag) only, never use the customers 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.

(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD
LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem (See page SR-4).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system (See page
SR-4).
(i) Check the fluid level.
