INSPECTION
1. VEHICLE NOT INVOLVED IN COLLISION
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check (see page DI±1147).
(b) With the curtain shield airbag assembly installed on the
vehicle, perform a visual check. If there are any defects
as mentioned below, replace the front pillar garnish or roof
headlining assy with a new one:
Cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration on the front
pillar garnish or roof headlining assy around the curtain
shield airbag assembly.
2. VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND AIRBAG IS
NOT DEPLOYED
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check (see page DI±1147).
(b) With the curtain shield airbag assembly removed from the
vehicle, perform a visual check. If there are any defects
as mentioned below, replace the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly with a new one:
Cuts, tears and cracks, or marked discoloration on
the curtain shield airbag assembly.
Cracks or other damage to connector.
CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly, see page RS±71 and RS±80. Be sure to follow the
correct procedure.

DISPOSAL
HINT:
Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or dis-
posing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, be sure to
deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure
described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag
deployment, contact the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES,
U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is
deployed, so perform the operation outdoors and
where it will not create a nuisance to nearby resi-
dents.
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.
When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the curtain shield airbag
assembly.
The curtain shield airbag assembly becomes ex-
tremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not
touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a cur-
tain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
(a) Check the function of the SST (see step 1±(a) on page
RS±23).
SST 09082±00700
(b) Precaution (see page RS±1 and RS±3).
(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
Wait for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to prevent the
airbag working.
(d) Remove the roof headlining (see page BO±101).
(e) Disconnect the curtain shield airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, be careful not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(f) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connectors of the SST to the curtain
shield airbag assembly.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00802 (09082±10801,
09082±20801)
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the ve-
hicle rear side window.
(3) Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire har-
ness in the rear side window, close all doors and
windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the
negative (±) terminal.

(g) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a
10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is
near the vehicle.
The curtain shield airbag assembly becomes ex-
tremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not
touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a cur-
tain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag as-
sembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
HINT:
The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch
comes on.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF CURTAIN
SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assem-
bly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the
airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of the SST (see step 1±(a) on page
RS±23).
(b) Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly (see page
RS±97).
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 airbag deployment side facing upward.

(c) Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag
assembly.
(d) Using a service±purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie
down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm
2
or more (0.0019 in2. or more)
CAUTION:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is
used to tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly, it may
be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Al-
ways use a wire harness for vehicle use with an area of at
least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in2.).
HINT:
To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)
2 divided by 4
(1) Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside
the tire with the airbag deployment side facing in-
side.
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. If there is
slack in wire harness, the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly may become loose due to the shock when the
airbag is deployed.
Always tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly
with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an
extra tire.

(e) Install the SST.
After connecting the SST below to each other, connect
them to the curtain shield airbag assembly.
SST 09082±00802 (09082±10801, 09082±20801)
(f) Place tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the curtain
shield airbag assembly is tied to.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the curtain
shield airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should
have the disc wheel installed.
NOTICE:
Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it
could be damaged.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. Looseness in the
wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the
shock when the airbag is deployed.
(g) Install the SST.
Connect the SST 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, se-
cure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.
(h) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the
battery negative (±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of
the tire which the shield airbag assembly is tied to.
