6. Cut off the instrument panel wiring harness connector from the wiring harness with nippers. Connect the two connector wires to the deployment
wires, and insulate the connections with plastic tape. Then connect the instrument panel wiring harness connector to the clock spring, and route the
deployment wires out of the vehicle.
WARNING: If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment could cause it to crack and fly out of the vehicle, so always put a cover over the
vehicle.
7. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible completely close all door windows, close the doors and put the cover on the vehicle.
WARNING:
-
Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first check to be sure that there is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.
-
The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to
handle it. Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
for post-deployment handling instructions.
-
If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
8. At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible, disconnect the two connected wires from each other, and connect them to the two terminals
of the battery (which has been removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
9. After deployment, dispose of the air bag module according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
