Air Bag Module: Procedures
Driver Air Bag Module
Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped with an air bag, follow the procedures below to deploy the air bag (s).
CAUTION
1. If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of, deploy the air bags inside the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue to be used and only the
air bag modules are to be disposed of, deploy the air bags outside the vehicle.
2. Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible.
3. Since there is loud noise when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the
impending noise.
4. Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (when disposing of a vehicle)
1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
CAUTION: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work.
3. To deploy the air bag module (driver's side):
1. Remove the steering column cover lower.
2. Remove the connection between the clock spring 2-pin connector (red) and the body wiring harness connector.
NOTE: If the clock spring connector is disconnected from the body wiring harness, both electrodes of the clock spring connector will be
automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment of the air bag due to static electricity', etc.
4. Connect two wires, each six meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness A and cover the connections with
insulation tape. The other ends of the two wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of
the air bag.
