2006 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to safely deploy and dispose of an Air Bag in a vehicle equipped with an SRS on 2006 Scion xB?

  A: Vehicle SRS owners should deploy their Air Bags first through Special Service Tool 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag deployment tool). The tool deployment should include the verification of functionality by battery terminal connection and inspection of the activation switch LED illumination. Maintenance personnel must maintain at least 10 m (33 ft) distance from the deployment area while verifying that no person stands within this clearance zone. The procedure to begin calls for waiting at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the negative (-) battery terminal prior to eliminating the steering column cover while also breaking the yellow Air Bag connector away from the spiral cable. Connect the Air Bag Deployment Tools 09082-00700 and 09082-00780 to Air Bag Deployment Wire Sub Harness No.6 while leaving enough room in the front side window for the harness wires through a small opening. Deploy the Air Bag through the glove-covered hands while using safety glasses but keep away from the steering pad for thirty minutes post-activation. The steering pad disposal requires a battery power source along with a disc wheel wherein the pad is tied using at least 1.25 sq.mm service wire harnesses which must be protected by cardboard or tires while weights maintain their position during deployment. Disposal of the Air Bag steering pad begins by putting it inside a plastic bag that should be tied tightly before it joins other general parts for disposal. Always wash your hands with water following operational tasks.
