4. Connect the appropriate pigtail adapter to the SRS Deployment Harness
5. Remove passenger air bag assembly from vehicle. Refer to Passenger Air Bag Assembly Removal in this Section.
6. Deploy a live (undeployed) airbag assembly in an open shop area allowing a radius of at least 183 cm (6 feet) attached to the J-41497 on the
bench vise. Also make sure there is sufficient ventilation and no loose or flammable objects are within the area of deployment.
7. Attach the J-41497 securely on the bench vise to prevent injury during airbag deployment.
8. Attach the passenger air bag assembly in the J-41497. Air bag assembly must be mounted such that the bag will deploy upward. SECURELY
HAND-TIGHTEN ALL FASTENERS PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT.
9. The double pole extension cord must be at least 10 m (33 feet) away from the airbag assembly.
10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. (Recommended application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A
vehicle battery is suggested.)
11. Connect the air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the SRS deployment harness. The SRS Deployment Harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed. The air bag assembly will immediately deploy the air bag when a power source
is connected to it.
Note: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into the air bag assembly connector. Failure to fully seat the connectors may leave the
shorting bar located in the air bag assembly connector functioning (shorting the deployment circuit) and may result in non deployment of the air
bag assembly.
12. Keep the area clear of people and loose or flammable objects when deploying the passenger airbag to prevent injury.
13. Verify that the passenger air bag assembly is firmly and properly in J-41497.
14. Notify all people in the immediate area of your intention to deploy the passenger air bag assembly. The deployment will be accompanied by a
substantial noise which may startle the uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.
NOTE: When air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the air bag assembly.
