The following procedure requires use of J 38826 SIR Deployment Harness with the appropriate pigtail adapter. The procedure also requires the use of J
39401 Passenger Side SIR Module Deployment Fixture. Do not attempt this procedure without J 38826 and adapter, and J 39401.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury. Never connect deployment harness to any power source before
connecting deployment harness to the inflator module. Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a power source until the
airbag is to be deployed. The inflator module will immediately deploy the airbag when a power source is connected to it. Wear safety glasses
throughout this entire deployment and disposal procedure.
Important:
This information applies only to passenger inflator modules. Information for disposing of a live driver inflator module can be found in the applicable
service manual or in a service bulletin.
1.
Turn ignition switch to "LOCK", remove key, and put on safety glasses.
2.
Inspect J 38826 SIR Deployment Harness and appropriate pigtail adapter for damage. If harness or pigtail is damaged, discard and obtain a
replacement.
3.
Short the two SIR Deployment Harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other. The SIR Deployment Harness shall remain
shorted and not be connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed. Refer to Figure 1.
4.
Connect the appropriate pigtail adapter to the SIR Deployment Harness. Refer to Figure 1.
5.
Remove inflator module from vehicle. Refer to "On-Vehicle Service" in Section 9J.
CAUTION:
When storing a live inflator module or when leaving a live inflator module unattended on a bench or other surface, always face the bag up and away
from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal injury.
6.
Clear a space on the ground approximately 185 cm (six feet) in diameter where the fixture with attached inflator module is to be placed for
deployment. A paved outdoor location where there is no activity is preferred. If an outdoor location is not available, a space on the shop floor
where there is no activity and sufficient ventilation is recommended. Ensure that no loose or flammable objects are within the deployment area.
