17.
Connect the SIR Deployment Harness wires to the power source to immediately deploy the inflator module. Refer to Figure 7.
18.
Disconnect the SIR Deployment Harness from the power source.
19.
Short the two SIR Deployment Harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other. Refer to Figure 1.
20.
In the unlikely event that the inflator module did not deploy after following these procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 25 through 28. If the
inflator module deployed as intended, proceed with Steps 21 through 24.
21.
Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed inflator module.
After the inflator module has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by-product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and
sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present for very long after deployment. As a precaution,
however, gloves and safety glasses are recommended to prevent any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
