2002 Toyota Avalon 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 2002 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Depolyment of SRS-equipped vehicle Air Bags and disposal of side Air Bags requires the use of Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) for safe deployment in outdoor spaces that are 10m minimum from the assembly to avoid the loud Air Bag explosion noise. During decommissioning holding times must extend past thirty minutes because the side Air Bag assembly will stay hot until this point. Additionally safety glasses paired with gloves serve as necessary safety equipment for working with the assembly. No water should be applied to the deployed Air Bag assembly and proper hand washing with water is necessary after the operation's completion. General parts disposal procedures determine the proper method to discard side Air Bag assemblies after deploying them in a collision. The assembly needs to be removed from the seat first before placing it inside a vinyl bag and tightly tying the end.
