Damaged Airbag/Tensioner Disposal Procedure
Disposal of Damaged Components
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag, front passenger's airbag, side airbag, seat belt tensioner and seat belt
buckle tensioner.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by cutting, stripping, and twisting together the two inflator wires.
NOTE: The driver's and passenger's airbag each have four wires; twist each pair of like-colored wires together.
3. Package the component in the same packaging that the new replacement part come in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SEAT
BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" or "DAMAGED SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSIONER" so it does not get confused with your parts
stock.

Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the Honda
District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle
tensioners. Only after the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision,
for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat
them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags In the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners should be deployed
while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be considered as salvageable parts and
should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, and seat belt tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
