INSPECTION
1. VEHICLE NOT INVOLVED IN COLLISION
(a) Do a diagnostic system check.
(See page DI±626)
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly installed in the ve-
hicle.
Check cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration on the
front passenger airbag assembly and instrument panel.
2. VEHICLE INVOLVED IN COLLISION AND AIRBAG IS
NOT DEPLOYED
(a) Do a diagnostic system check.
(See page DI±626)
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly removed from the
vehicle.
Check cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration
on the front passenger airbag assembly.
Check cuts and cracks in wire harnesses, and for
chipping in connectors.
Check the deformation or cracks on the instrument
panel and instrument panel reinforcement.
HINT:
If the instrument panel or instrument panel reinforcement
is deformed or cracked, never repair it. Always replace it
with a new one.
There should be no interference between the instrument
panel and the front passenger airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the front passenger airbag
assembly, see page RS±28 and RS±38, and be sure to fol-
low the correct procedure.

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.
When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with an
airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given
in step 1±(e) in ºDISPOSALº.
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 deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with 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 page RS±18)
SST 09082±00700
(b) Disconnect the airbag connector.
(1) Remove the lower instrument cover inside the No.2
under cover.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(2) Pull up the connector.
(3) Disconnect the airbag connector.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connector of 2 SST to the front passen-
ger airbag assembly connector.
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.
(d) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
