5. Cut off the airbag connector, strip the ends of the airbag wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator clips (A) to the airbag. Place the
deployment tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away from the airbag.
6. Connect a 12 volts battery to the tool.
-
If the green light on the tool comes on, the airbag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special
Procedure.
-
If the red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is ready to be deployed.
7. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
-
If the airbags deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
-
If an airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Damaged Airbag Special Procedure.
-
During deployment the airbag can become hot enough to burn you. Wait thirty minutes after deployment before touching the airbag.
8. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal it securely.

Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must be deployed. If the
vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or side airbags, the Honda District Technical Manager must give approval and/or
special instruction. Only after the airbags or side airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags or side airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
