2000 Toyota Solara Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of the side Air Bag assembly on 2000 Toyota Solara?

  A: The SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool referenced as 09082-00700 must be used to deploy Air Bags in an outdoor space when scrapping SRS-equipped vehicles or disposing of side Air Bag assemblies. This operation should maintain a minimum 10 m (33 ft) distance from the assembly in order to prevent surrounding residential disturbance. Both deployment sounds and high temperatures will exist after the release therefore awaiting at least 30 minutes becomes important before any contact with the assembly. After the Air Bag deployment use gloves and safety glasses followed by hand washes in water and abstain from touching the deployed Air Bag. Dispose of the side Air Bag assembly using a separate power source instead of the customer's vehicle while having a battery prepared. The seatback assembly and side Air Bag assembly need removal until these components should be placed onto a flat surface with deployment side at top. Use 2 nuts to secure the side Air Bag assembly which should be wrapped tightly with a minimum 1.25 Sq.mm (0.0019 Sq.in) service-purpose wire harness around the stud bolts then place it within a tire with deployment direction toward the interior using an additional tire as a protection against potential deployment marks. Check the functionality of Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 while you install it with 09082-00750 by connecting their connectors to the side Air Bag assembly connector. Ignore the secondary lock for protection purposes. Assemble 2 tight wire harnesses to secure 2 tires that are under and over the tire bound with the side Air Bag assembly while maintaining at least 1 m (3 ft) of wire harness slack. Suicide a deployment requires connecting the red clip of the Special Service Tool to the battery positive terminal and black clip to the negative terminal while maintaining at least 10 m (33 ft) distance from personnel performing the operation then activating the switch to trigger the Air Bag deployment while the LED illuminates simultaneously. The side Air Bag assembly must rest on the tire for at least thirty minutes before removal to ensure proper disposal inside a vinyl bag and tie securely before disposal as normal general parts.
