Airbags/Seat Belt Tensioner Deployment and Disposal
Deployment Tool Check Procedure
Deployment Tool Check

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, and seat belt tensioner.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two inflator wires.
3. Package the component in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED" or "DAMAGED
SEAT BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.
Deploying Airbags/Tensioner (Inside Vehicle)
Only deploy the airbag inside the vehicle If the vehicle is to be destroyed or salvaged for component parts. This includes, but is not limited to, the
following situations.
1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.
2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a non deployment type accident.
3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond repair in a theft.
4. Vehicle will be salvaged for component parts to be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as opposed to being
rebuilt as same VIN. Never use SRS components from another vehicle.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLIES MUST NOT BE DISPOSED
OF THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS. THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS SUBSTANCES THAT
CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.
DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE
AND/OR LOCAL LAWS.
1. Turn ignition switch to "LOCK", remove key and put on safety glasses.
2. Remove all loose objects from front seats.
3. Disconnect Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) coil assembly, yellow 2 - pin connector located at the base of the steering column.
4. Cut the SRS coil assembly yellow 2 - pin harness connector from the vehicle leaving at least 16 cm (six inches) of wire at the connector.
5. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from yellow - green and yellow - lack wire lead of the connector.
6. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from 0.8 sq.mm (18 gauge) or thicker multi - strand wire. These wires will be used to fabricate the
driver deployment harness.
7. Strip 13 mm (112 inch) of insulation from both ends of the wires cut in the previous step.
8. Short the wires by twisting together one end from each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and not be connected to a power source until the
air bag is to be deployed.
