2000 Toyota Sienna Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when deploying an Air Bag before scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS on 2000 Toyota Sienna?

  A: The specified Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) needs to be used for deploying Air Bags before scrapping vehicles with SRS systems or disposing of steering wheel pads with Air Bags. Open-air deployment of SRS operations should happen at least 10 m (33 ft) from the wheel pad because deploying the Air Bag requires this distance and will generate noise as well as create a hot pad surface. Steering wheel pads become excessively hot along with their Air Bag emerging with loud noise after deployment thus maintain a distance of thirty minutes before touching them. You should use gloves together with safety glasses to handle an Air Bag deployment and clean your hands thoroughly with water following the deployment process. The procedure to activate the Air Bag requires checking the Special Service Tool functionality by linking it to the battery power with the red clip secured to the positive terminal and the black clip to the negative terminal and refraining from connecting the yellow connector. Hit the activation switch in order to verify the LED lighting; refrain from using the tool if it lights without the button being pressed. The activation switch must be used to deploy the Air Bag only after verifying that no people or other objects exist inside or within 10 m (33 ft). Always use steering wheel pad installation when you need to deploy an Air Bag during scraping operations and always wear both gloves and safety glasses during transportation of vehicles which require deployed Air Bags.
