2008 Scion xD Air Bag Parts Q&A

• Q: How should a vehicle equipped with the SRS be scrapped or an instrument panel passenger Air Bag be disposed of on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: The deployment of vehicle Air Bags for SRS vehicles or instrument panel passenger Air Bags requires a battery as power source prior to scrapping or disposal operations. Use Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 by connecting the red clip to the positive terminal and black clip to the negative terminal and activate the switch to verify the LED lights up. The tool cannot be used when the LED turns on by itself without performing the switch activation. Disconnect the tool from the battery terminal then unscrew the outlet clip from the negative terminal rod. The Air Bag connector requires disconnecting from the glove compartment while maintaining the wire harness undamaged. Start by removing the glove compartment door through its stoppers release with the upper part flex and unclaw the compartment. Proceed by attaching Service Tool 09082-00700 to the front passenger Air Bag while avoiding the engagement of the secondary lock of the twin lock. your tool must maintain at least a 10 m (33 ft) distance from the car while you activate the Air Bag deployment and make sure no person is closer than 10 m (33 ft) to the vehicle. Touching the Air Bag must be avoided during at least thirty minutes after deployment. Use gloves together with safety glasses for protection before hand-washing. It is necessary to wait 90 seconds after switching off the ignition and disconnecting the negative battery terminal before you remove the Air Bag from the vehicle. Genesis Special Service Tool 09082-00700 enables technicians to tie the Air Bag securely onto a service-purpose wire harness so that the deployment section faces within. The tire with the Air Bag should have two tires positioned underneath and above it while wire harnesses provide tight fastening. Perform the Air Bag deployment outside a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the tire but handle it with care before putting it into disposal plastic.
