9. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag(s) should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible - a loud noise and rapid inflation of
the bag(s), followed by slow deflation).
The seat belt pretensioners should take up the slack (pop the clips off the belts), and lock the belt(s) in retracted position(s).
-
If the airbags are deployed and pretensioners are triggered and the green light on the tool goes on, continue with this procedure.
-
If an airbag doesn't deploy or a pretensioner isn't triggered, yet the green light goes ON, an igniter is defective.
Go to Damaged Airbag or pretensioner Special Procedure.
WARNING: During airbag deployment and pretensioner activation the airbag and pretensioner assemblies can become hot enough to

service, it should be deployed as follows:
WARNING: Position the airbag assembly face up, outdoors on flat ground at least thirty feet from any obstacles or people.

3. Follow steps 5,6,7 and 8 of the in-car deployment procedure.
Damaged Airbag or Pretensioner Special Procedure.
WARNING: If an airbag or pretensioner cannot be deployed or triggered, it should not be treated as normal scrap; it should still be
considered a potentially explosive device that can cause serious injury.
1. If installed in a car, follow the removal procedure.
2. In all cases, make sure a short connector is properly installed on the airbag or pretensioner connector.
3. Package the airbag or pretensioner in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG (or PRETENSIONER) NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
If applicable, also note on the box the VIN of the car from which it was removed.
5. Contact your ACURA District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.
