Seat Belt Tensioner Reduction Solenoid: Service and Repair
Simultaneously Deploying Airbags and Seat Belt Tensioners
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags or seat belt tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must
be deployed and the seat belt tensioners must be triggered. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or side airbags
or triggering the seat belt tensioners, the Acura District Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction. Only after the airbags or side
airbags have been deployed or a seat belt tensioner is triggered (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags or side airbags or the seat belt tensioners appear intact (not deployed or triggered), treat them with extreme caution. Follow the procedure.
Simultaneously Deploying Airbags and Triggering Seat Belt Tensioners:
1. Disconnect the negative cable and positive cable from the battery.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label or the procedure.
3. Disconnect the SRS main harness 18P connector and the SRS floor harness 18P connector from the SRS unit.
4. Cut seven wires at the SRS main harness 18P connector, and seven wires at the SRS floor harness 18P connector, as shown. Strip the ends of the
wires, then twist each of seven wires together into two bunches.
5. Connect the alligator clips of the deployment tool to the two bunches of twisted wires.
