Horn Button ASSY: Disposal

HINT:

When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of a horn button assy, always first deploy the airbag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
  • Never dispose of a horn button assy, which has an un-deployed airbag.
  • The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out-of-doors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.
  • When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
  • When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the horn button assy.
  • The horn button assy is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
  • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a horn button assy with the deployed airbag.
  • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  • Do not apply water, etc. to a horn button assy with the deployed airbag.

      HINT:

      To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:

      Square = 3.14 x (Diameter) 2  divided by 4 

      1. Install the 2 bolts with washers in the 2 bolt holes in the horn button assy.

        Bolt: 

        L: 35.0 mm (1.378 in.) 

        M: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.) 

        Pitch: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) 

        NOTE:
        • Tighten the bolts by hand until the bolts become difficult to turn.
        • Do not tighten the bolts too much.
