Deployment Inside the Vehicle
When disposing of a vehicle1. Open all windows and doors of the vehicle. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
Caution: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work. Air Bags Precautions
3. Remove the steering column cover lower.
4. Remove the connection between the clock spring 2-pin connector (red) and the dash wiring harness connector.
NOTE: If the clock spring connector is disconnected from the dash wiring harness, both electrodes of the clock spring connector will be automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment of the air bag due to static electricity, etc.
5. Open the glove compartment.
6. Disconnect the 2-pin (red) connector of the air bag module (passenger's side) from the body wiring harness connector.
NOTE: If the air bag module (passenger's side) connector is disconnected from the body wiring harness, both electrodes of the air bag module (passenger's side) connector will be automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment of the air bag due to static electricity, etc.
7. Connect two wires, each six meters (20 feet) long or more, to the two leads of SRS AIR BAG ADAPTER HARNESS A and cover the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the two wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag.
8. Connect the clock spring 2-pin connector (red) to SRS air bag adapter harness A and pass the deployment wires out of the vehicle.
9. Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness A to the 2-pin connector (red) of the air bag module (passenger's side) and pass the deployment wire out of the vehicle.
10. At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible, disconnect the two connected wires from each other, and connect them to the two terminals of the battery (removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag
11. Dispose of the air bag module after deployment according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures. Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
Cautions
1. Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first check to be sure that there is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses, suitable ear protection.
2. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to handle it. Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from air bag deployment. Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy when the procedures above are followed, do not go near the module. Contact your local distributor.
