Question

Accepted Answer

Before scrapping vehicles with seat belt pretensioners or before throwing away front seat outer belts with pretensioners it is essential to activate the pretensioner system first. Contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A., INC. in case any abnormality happens during operation. Do not get rid of front seat outside belts which still have their pretensioners disabled since they produce noisy activation sounds when used; carry out this procedure in areas far from human occupancy. Perform front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner) activation operations at least 10 m (33 ft) distance from the pretensioner while wearing gloves and safety glasses. Hands need immediate water washing following any operation and exposure to activated pretensioners must stay free from moisture. Perform this operation at a setting that does not have electrical interference while using Special Service Tool 09082-00700. When scrapping the front seat outer belt assembly RH the procedure requires checking that positive battery voltage surpasses 12 V followed by testing the Special Service Tool while connected to the battery to verify the LED illumination during activation switch contact. First disconnect the transmitted battery current from both the pretensioner connector and the Special Service Tool then disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to test SRS Air Bag system functionality. The technician will remove three components on the vehicle: front and rear door scuff plates and door opening trims along with the center pillar garnish lower RH. The pretensioner connector needs its lock part pulled to reveal the connector for removal. Begin activating the Special Service Tool by adding its floor anchor followed by linking the Air Bag Deployment Tool through Air Bag Deployment Wire Sub-harness No.5 to the seat belt pretensioner. Start the pretensioner disable process by setting the Special Service Tool 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle and locking all vehicle doors and windows before connecting the battery to the tool. Proceed with activating the seat belt pretensioner only after confirming the vehicle and a 10 m (33 ft) radius perimeter are empty. Precautionary measures require that the front outer belt must not be touched for at least thirty minutes because it reaches extreme heat levels. Safety gloves and glasses must be worn during activation together with hand washing following the procedure and abstaining from water contact with activated pretensioners. To dispose of the front seat outer belt assembly RH when detached from a vehicle, cut the belt near the retractor before testing the Special Service Tool then setting it up for activation. Lay the front outer seat belt onto floor space then use disc wheel cover and move the Special Service Tool at least 10 m (33 ft) beyond. Activation of the seat belt pretensioner requires connecting the Special Service Tool to the battery while maintaining at least 10 m (33 ft) distance between the disc wheel and all persons and pushing the activation switch. To dispose of the front seat outer belt after activation users must remove the disc wheel and Special Service Tool then mount the belt inside a plastic bag before properly tying the bag and placing it with general parts.
