WARNING:

Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation
(explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury if the air bag module
operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again. If a total of two operation
(explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before
approaching it again.
