(f) Temporarily tighten the terminal nuts.
(g) Tighten the terminal nut.
(1) Put a wood block on the contact plate and press it
down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wood block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.97 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)
NOTICE:

Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then cal-
culate the gauge pressure of the press when 981 N
(100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.

If the contact plate is not pressed down with the spe-
cified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil
deformation or the tightening of the nut.
(2) Using SST, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
SST 09810-38140
Torque: 17 N´m (173 kgf´cm, 12 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the in-
side of the insulator.
(h) Clean the contact surfaces of the contact plate and plung-
er.
Clean the contact surfaces of the remaining contact plate
and plunger with a dry shop rag.
(i) Reinstall the magnetic switch end cover.
Install the plunger, new gasket, end cover and lead clamp
with 3 bolts.
Torque: 3.6 N´m (36 kgf´cm, 32 in.´lbf)

(d) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on level ground.
Connect the SST connector to the steering wheel pad
connector.
SST 09082-00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, pro-
vide some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(e) Cover the steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.

Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied -
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock of the airbag
deployment.

Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the
disc wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad
is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.

- SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
RS-27
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
CAUTION:
If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down with
too thin wire harness, it may snap. This is highly danger-
ous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use which is at
least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in.2).
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 X (Diameter)
2 divided by 4
(2) Wrap the wire harness around the tire, passing the
wire harness through the installation holes indi-
cated by arrows in the installation.
(3) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in-
side the tire with the airbag deployment side facing
inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:

Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous if a loose wire harness results in the front pas-
senger airbag assembly coming free due to the shock
of the airbag deploying.

Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so when
disposing of the airbag use a redundant tire.
(c) Check functioning of the SST (See page RS-1 1).
