Set key to LOCK position. Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery cable and shield/isolate it - make sure it will not find a way to make contact with the battery. Wait at least 90 seconds before starting to work with the airbag components.

When you are done hook the negative battery back up. I would make sure no one is in front of the airbags but that is just me.

Are you saying to work on the car or are you wanting to enter a demolition Derby and need to disable the system. If the later, I'd probably just disconnect the airbag ecu.

That would be a CL first as far as I know.

The procedure I provided above is direct from Lexus. The only reason to unplug the module is if you plan on removing it from the vehicle.

As already asked what are you planning on doing that requires the airbags be disarmed?
