2002 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the proper steps for disposing of a side Air Bag assembly on 2002 Toyota Celica?

  A: The first step to dispose a side Air Bag assembly requires deploying the Air Bag through proper use of the identified Special Service Tool 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) in open areas keeping the assembly at a distance of 10 m (33 ft) away while deployment occurs. After Air Bag deployment the assembly becomes extremely hot until after it remains untouched for thirty minutes. During deployed assembly handling users must wear gloves along with safety glasses while they must wash their hands thoroughly at the completion of the work. A proper Air Bag deployment requires the removal of seatback assembly followed by opening the fastener of seatback cover before meticulously extracting the side Air Bag assembly while storing it with deployment side pointing upward. The assembly needs attachment to a tire through a service-purpose wire harness which must include minimally 1.25 sq.mm (0.0019 sq.in.) cross-sectional area to stop the wire from snapping during deployment. Install the assembly inside the tire by facing the Air Bag deployment direction toward the inside yet maintain a minimum tire dimension of inner diameter 360 mm (14.17 in.) and width 185 mm (7.28 in.). The Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 needs testing for proper function while at least two tires should be positioned under and over the designated assembly before tightening them with wire harnesses. Fasten the Special Service Tools: 09082-00700 and 09082-00750 onto the side Air Bag assembly connector but maintain their secondary lock unlocked to prevent any damage to the connector. Press the activation switch only after deploying the Air Bag by joining the battery positive terminal to the red clip while attaching the black clip to the negative terminal yet maintain no personnel within the 10 m (33 ft) vicinity. Stage two involves removing the assembly from the tire which must go into the vinyl bag before growers with a secure tight tie and dispose of it as common waste maintaining all safety practices regarding heat exposure and handling procedure.
