Link Harness Connection & Deployment Method


WARNING: ALWAYS CONNECT TO AIRBAG FIRST, AS THE BAG WILL DEPLOY IMMEDIATELY ON CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY.


- Remove passenger side and driver's side underscuttle/knee bolster.
- Disconnect the airbag connector for spiral cassette under fascia and at the wire (Driver's side).
- Look for the yellow harness connectors and cut the wires leading from the airbag just above the mating plug (Passenger side).


NOTE: The harness connected between the driver's airbag and the yellow connector has one red feed wire and one grey/orange return wire. The harness connected between the passenger's airbag and the yellow connector has one blue/orange feed wire and one pink/black return wire.


- Pass a 10 meter (33 ft) link harness containing two 1 square mm wires through the window aperture, and connect using an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) and two crocodile clips to the airbag wires.
- Close all doors, leave window with lead, open.
- Ensure no personnel are in the car or in the area around the car.
- Move back 10 meters (33 ft) and connect harness crocodile clips to battery; the airbag will immediately deploy.
- Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cooling modules should be continuously monitored to ensure heat generated does not create a fire with spilled liquids or other debris.
- The vehicle is now to be scrapped in normal manner with module installed.
- In the event of any problems or queries, contact Jaguar Cars Ltd. or the importer.
