Air Bag: Service and Repair
Deployment Procedures
Inside of Vehicle (Vehicle Scrapping Procedure)
When the vehicle will be destroyed, deploy the inflator modules inside the vehicle. When the vehicle will be salvaged for component parts, deploy the
inflator modules inside the vehicle. This includes, but is not limited to, the following situations:
^
The vehicle has completed its useful life.
^
Irreparable damage occurs to the vehicle in a non-deployment type accident.
^
Irreparable damage occurs to the vehicle during theft.
^
You are salvaging the vehicle for component parts in order to use on a vehicle with a different Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as
opposed to rebuilding a vehicle as the same VIN. Never use SIR components from another vehicle. This ensures SIR system integrity. Always
use new SIR system components, except when you obtain remanufactured parts from an authorized General Motors dealer.
CAUTION: When you are deploying an inflator module for disposal, perform the deployment procedures in the order listed. Failure to follow
the procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the key.
3. Put on safety glasses.
4. Remove all loose objects from the front seats.
5. Disconnect the inflatable restraint steering wheel module yellow 2-way connector. This connector is located near the base of the steering column.
6. Cut the inflatable restraint steering wheel module yellow 2-way harness connector from the vehicle. Leave at least 160 mm (6 in) of wire at the
connector.
7. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from each wire lead of the connector.
8. Cut two 4.6 m (15 ft) deployment wires from 0.8mm sq. (18 gauge) or thicker multi-strand wire. Use these wires in order to fabricate the driver
deployment harness.
9. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from both ends of these two wires.
10. Short the wires by twisting together one end from each. Keep the deployment wires shorted. Do not connect these wires to a power source until
you are ready to deploy the air bag.
