Park Avenue Ultra V6-3.8L SC VIN 1 (1991)
NOTICE:
When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial report. Notify all people in the immediate area of your intention to deploy the
inflator module.
NOTICE:
When the air bag deploys, the inflator module may jump approximately one foot in height. This is a normal reaction of the inflator module to the force of
the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
CAUTION:
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed. The inflator module will
immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected to it. Connecting the deployment harness to the power source should always be the last
step prior to deployment in the inflator module deployment procedure. Failure to follow procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury.
18.
Connect the universal deployment harness wires to the power source to immediately deploy the inflator module. Refer to Figure 7.
19.
Disconnect the universal deployment harness from the power source.
20.
Short the two universal deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
21.
In the unlikely event that the inflator module did not deploy after following these procedures, proceed immediately with steps 26 through 30
below. If the inflator module did deploy, proceed with steps 22 through 25 below.
After the inflator module has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of corn starch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by-product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate
and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment. As a precaution, however,
gloves and safety glasses are recommended to prevent any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
