Connecting Airbags To Battery And Deployment Tool
5. Cut off the airbag connector, strip the ends of the airbag wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator clips to the airbag. Place the deployment
tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away from the airbag.
6. Connect a 12 volt 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, and seal it securely.
CAUTION:
-
Wear a face shield and gloves when handling a deployed airbag.
-
Wash your hands and rinse them well with water after handling a deployed airbag.
Airbag Deployment and Disposal (Outside Vehicle)
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty
period, before you deploy the airbags, the Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instructions. Only after the airbags have
been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution.
Follow this procedure:
