17. Separate the two banana plugs on the SIR deployment harness.
IMPORTANT
^
The rapid gas expansion involved with deploying an air bag is very loud. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the
inflator module.
^
When the air bag deploys, the inflator module may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is a normal reaction of the inflator module to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
18. Connect the SIR deployment harness wires to the power source.
19. Disconnect the SIR deployment harness from the power source after the air bag deploys.
20. Seat one banana plug into the other in order to short the deployment harness leads.
21. If the air bag did not deploy, disconnect the adapter and discontinue the procedure. Contact the Technical Assistance Group. Otherwise, continue
performing the following steps.
CAUTION: After an air bag deploys, the metal surfaces of the inflator module are very hot. To help avoid a fire or personal injury:
^
Allow sufficient time for cooling before touching any metal surface of the inflator module.
^
Do not place the deployed inflator module near any flammable objects.
