2000 Toyota 4Runner Air Bag Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when deploying an Air Bag from a vehicle equipped with an SRS on 2000 Toyota 4Runner?

  A: Perform all SRS or steering wheel pad with Air Bag disposals by deploying the Air Bag first using Service Tool 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool). A 10 m (33 ft) distance should exist between your position and the steering wheel pad when deploying the Air Bag operation in an outdoor setting. Following Air Bag deployment you should avoid any contact with the steering wheel pad as it becomes hot and produces loud noise until completing at least 30 minutes. You must wear gloves together with safety glasses whenever you handle a deployed Air Bag while handwashing is necessary immediately afterward. The first step is to prepare a battery as power source while performing a terminal test on the Special Service Tool by placing the red clip on the positive terminal followed by the black clip on the negative terminal. Connect the yellow connector which serves the supplemental restraint system only to other components. The tool should not be utilized if the activation switch LED lights up without the switch being pressed. The operator can begin by taking off the steering column lower cover before disconnecting the spiral cable Air Bag connector. Then connect the Special Service Tool to this connector and move the tool at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle and close all doors and windows. Make sure the vehicle compartment and a 10 m (33 ft) area surrounding it are empty then activate the Air Bag through the switch. The procedure for vehicle scrapping requires you to activate the Air Bag while keeping the steering wheel pad in place while deployment of a deployed Air Bag should always include gloves and safety glasses.
