  Q: How to remove and reinstall the side Air Bag assembly and front seat on Toyota Echo?

  A:

  The side Air Bag assembly removal process begins by using a screwdriver to remove the seat track covers followed by disconnecting each connector while removing the 4 bolts from the front seat before extraction. Pay attention to prevent body damage during this operation. The first step requires you to remove two screws which let you detach the headrest and reclining release handle and seat cushion shield. The front seat inner belt requires bolt removal followed by disconnecting its inner belt connector on the driver side and both the inner belt and seat sensor connectors on the passenger side. The seatback assembly removal starts with unclipping and unscrewing the seat cushion inner shield and disconnecting the connector and wire harness until you can remove it by taking out the hog rings and 4 bolts. Start installations by affixing the headrest supports onto the seatback assembly then continue with assembly installation and secure it using 4 bolts at 43 N.m (440 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf) with new hog rings. Install the wire harness after both connectors have proper clamping and connection without harming their components. To begin you should install the seat cushion inner shield with both the screw and clip before you fasten the front seat inner belt with a bolt that requires a torque of 41 N.m (420 kgf.cm, 30 ft.lbf) and connect the inner belt connectors. Fit the 2 screws on the seat cushion shield before adding the reclining release handle and headrest. The installation of the front seat begins by setting the seat at maximum front position where the adjuster should be locked in place. Proceed with attaching the seat to the vehicle structure without grasping the seat track handle. Next, connect all connectors followed by a temporary tightening of the rear bolts. Continue by sliding the seat back to maximum rear position to secure front bolts at 37 N.m (375 kgf.cm, 27 ft.lbf) before applying seat track covers.

  Q: How Should You Safely Deploy an Air Bag When Scrapping a Vehicle on Toyota Echo?

  A:

  The disposal of side Air Bags with an SRS system requires vehicle owners to use Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) before outdoor deployment to protect nearby residents within at least 10 m (33 ft) from the Air Bag assembly. Use a battery for power while inspecting the Special Service Tool and detaching the side Air Bag connector by avoiding harming the Air Bag wire harness. Sensor Installers should connect both tools of Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 and 09082-00750 to the Air Bag connector but keep the secondary lock unlocked to avoid hardware damage. The Special Service Tool must be positioned at least 33 feet from the vehicle front while continuously connected to the battery for both positive (+) red clip to the battery and negative (-) black clip. Press the activation switch to deploy the Air Bag after checking the vehicle and surrounding area is empty up to 10 m (33 ft). The deployment of the Air Bag will activate simultaneous to LED illumination. Your operation should last at least 30 minutes while the side Air Bag assembly must receive hand treatment with protective gloves and safety glasses while also staying free from moisture waves hand through post-operation handwashing procedures. The vehicle should receive the side Air Bag assembly for disposal after it remains inside its position.
