Eclipse V6-3.0L SOHC (2003)
2. Connect deployment wires 6 meters (20 feet) or longer with the SRS air bag adapter harness respectively. Insulate the connections with tape.
Also, connect the other ends of the deployment wires each other to short, thereby preventing the side-airbag from accidental deployment caused by
static etc.
3. Place the front seat back assembly with its back contact with the ground.
4. Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness with the deployment wires to the side air bag module connector.
CAUTION:
-
Before the deployment, see that no one is near the front seatback assembly.
-
The deployment makes the inflator of the side-airbag very hot. Before handling the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
-
If the side-airbag module fails to deploy although the procedure is respected, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
5. Disconnect the deployment wires as far from the front seat back assembly possible and connect the harnesses to the battery removed from the
vehicle. Then, deploy.
6. Remove the deployed air bag module from the seatback assembly and discard as specified in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL
After deployment, the air bag module should be disposed of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering to local laws and/or legislation.
Observe the following precautions during air bag disposal:
1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it cool before attempting to handle it.
2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after deployment.
WARNING: If after following these precautions, any material does get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the affected area
with a large amount of clean water. If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.
3. There may be material on the deployed air bag module, that could irritate the eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a
deployed air bag module.
