Airbag Module
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Special Tool Required
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 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.
Deploying Airbags In the vehicle
If a SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags or side airbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags or side airbags
should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag or side airbag are securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure.
Driver's Airbag AND BPT :
1. Remove the driver's airbag and the install the SST(0957A-38500).
2. Install the driver's airbag on the steering wheel.
Front Passenger's Airbag :
1. Remove the glove box, then disconnect the 4P connector between the front passenger's airbag and SRS main harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A-38100).
Buckle Pretensioner
1. Disconnect the 6p connect between the buckle pretensioner and buckle pretensioner wire Harness.
2. Install the SST(0957A - 2E210)
Side Airbag, CURTAIN AIRBAG:
1. Disconnect the 2P connector between the side airbag and side wire harness.
2. Install the SST (0957A-38100 : SAB, 0957A-38500 : CAB).
3. Place the deployment tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away from the airbag.
4. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
5. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag should deploy. Repeat for 2nd circuit if deploying DAB or PAB. (deployment is both highly audible
and visible: a loud noise and rapid inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflection)
6. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.
Deploying the Airbag Out of the vehicle
If an intact airbag has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damage during transit, storage or service, it should be
deployed as follows :
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least thirty feet (10meters) from any obstacles or people.
Disposal of Damaged Airbag
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure of driver's airbag, front passenger's and side airbag.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two airbag inflator wires.
