2002 Toyota Sienna Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: How should one safely deploy and dispose of a side Air Bag assembly when scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS on 2002 Toyota Sienna?

  A: Scrap vehicle operations and side Air Bag disposal require deploying Air Bags through the use of Special Service Tool: 09082 - 00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) in designated out-of-resident areas prior to disposal. First check the battery readiness as power source before confirming the Special Service Tool operation by connecting it to the battery terminals where the red clip meets the positive terminal and the black clip affixes to the negative terminal and abstain from attaching the yellow connector. The tool operation should be tested by activating the switch and monitoring the LED; if the LED lights on its own do not use the tool. Follow the side Air Bag connector disconnect procedures to prevent damage to the Air Bag wire harness before installing the Special Service Tool: 09082 - 00700 and 09082 - 00750 to the Air Bag connector but leave the secondary lock unrestrained. Take the tool at least 10 m (33 ft) from the car while shutting all doors and windows before reattaching it to the battery. Follow up by checking that both the vehicle and the surrounding area extending 10 m (33 ft) is clear of occupant presence followed by activating the Air Bag through the switch. A deployed side Air Bag assembly maintains high temperature levels requiring at least thirty minutes of wait time while using gloves plus safety glasses while touching it and avoiding water application and washing your hands immediately after. The process of vehicle scrapping requires Air Bag deployment followed by disposal of the vehicle with intact side Air Bag assembly that activates at the same time the LED of the activation switch illumination occurs.
