BAG SENSOR CONNECTOR
(a) Align the male connector (of the side of sensor) and fe-
male connector in the same direction as shown in the il-
lustration and fit in them without rubbing.
(b) As they are fitted in, the outer slides rearward. Press it un-
til the outer returns to its original position again.
If fitting stops half way, connectors will separate.
(c) Make sure to insert until they are locked. After fitting in,
pull them slightly to check that they are locked. (When
locked, make sure that the outer returns to its original
position and sound at the time of fitting in can be heard.)
HINT:
Do not fit in while holding the outer.
When fitting in, the outer slides. Do not touch it.

(a) Align a lock part of male connector and a slider of female
connector in the same direction as shown in the illustra-
tion, fit in them without rubbing.
(b) Make sure to insert until they are locked. After fitting in pull
them slightly to check that they are locked. (When locked,
make sure that the outer returns to its original position and

(b) Disconnect the side airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the 2 SST connector to the airbag connec-
tor.

(e) Dispose of the side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
The side 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 side
airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with
the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap
the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still installed.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the side airbag assembly only,
never use the customer’s vehicle to deploy the air-
bag.
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 seatback frame. (See page RS–10)
(b) Remove the side airbag assembly from the seatback
frame.
(1) Remove the 2 nuts, wire and side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble the side airbag assembly.
Store the side airbag assembly with the airbag de-
ployment side facing upward.
(2) Release the lock of connector, then disconnect the
connector of side airbag sub wire harness.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness

NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use
the redundant tire.
(d) Check functioning of the SST.
SST 09082–00700, 09082–00750
(e) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the
wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dan-
gerous when loose wire harnesses results in the tires com-
ing free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(f) Install the SST.
Connect the connector of 2 SST to the side airbag assem-
bly connector.
