  Q: How to safely deploy and dispose of a vehicle's front passenger Air Bag assembly on Scion xA?

  A:

  Before throwing away a vehicle with SRS system components or disposing of the front passenger Air Bag assembly you must activate the Air Bags using a battery as power source. The Special Service Tool (SST) 09082-00700 requires battery testing for proper operation by linking the red clip to the positive (+) terminal and black clip to the negative (-) terminal while pressing the activation switch for LED illumination; a malfunctioning SST should not be used if the LED illuminates without activating the switch. First disconnect the Special Service Tool (SST) from the battery followed by detachment of the negative (-) cable terminal at least 90 seconds to disable Air Bag activation. First disconnect the front passenger Air Bag connector without harming the wire harness then link Air Bag Deployment Tool to Air Bag Deployment Wire Sub Harness No.6. Finish this connection with SST 09082-00700 and 09082-00780 to the spiral cable. The SST must be positioned at least 10 meters (33 feet) away from the front window and a small passageway should be kept for the wire harness along with complete window and door closure. The SST can be connected to the battery with safety restriction; make sure no one remains inside the vehicle or stands within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius while pressing the activation switch. The deploying Air Bag will reach dangerous hot temperatures so maintain at least 30 minutes of distance before handling. For disposal of exclusive front passenger Air Bag assemblies follow these steps using discarding tires which you intend to get rid of but use service wire harnesses at least 1.25 sq.mm (0.0019 sq.in.) to tie down your Air Bag assembly and place it inside a tire bracketed to contact the components. The tire deployment process requires attaching two tires underneath and above the bagged tire while using wire harnesses for securing along with SST connection to the Air Bag before activation through batter power-up after confirming a 10-meter empty area. Final handling instructions include Air Bag cooling for thirty minutes after which time you should work in gloves and safety glasses to place the Air Bag in a plastic waste bag for disposal as general waste.
