Legend Coupe V6-3206cc 3.2L SOHC FI (1991)
NOTE: If an SRS car containing one or both intact seat belt pretensioner(s) is to be entirely scrapped, the seat belt pretensioner(s) should be triggered
while still in the car.
A pretensioner should not be considered a salvageable part and should never be installed in another car.
1. Disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable from the battery.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the label of the tool box, or the "Deployment Tool:
Check Procedure" at the end of this article.
3. Remove the quarter trim panel.
4. Cut off the seat belt pretensioner connector, then strip the wire ends and connect the special tool alligator clips to them as shown. Place the special
tool approximately thirty feet away from the car.
5. Buckle the seat belt, then pull Out about two inches of slack, make a loop with it, and hold the loop in place with a clip as shown.
6. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
-
If the green light on the tool goes on, the pretensioner igniter circuit is defective. Go to Damaged Airbag or Pretensioner Special Procedure.
-
If the red light on the tool goes on, the pretensioner is ready to trigger.
7. Push the tool's deployment switch to trigger the pretensioner igniter. The pretensioner should take up the slack in the belt (pop the clip off), and
lock the belt in its retracted position.
-
If the pretensioner works and the green light on the tool goes on, continue with this procedure.
-
If the pretensioner doesn't work, yet the green light goes ON, its Igniter is defective. Go to Damaged Airbag or Pretensioner Special Procedure.
WARNING: During activation, the pretensioner can become hot enough to burn you.
Wait thirty minutes after activation before touching it.
8. Dispose of the complete pretensioner assembly. No part of it can be reused.
9. Repeat step 3 thru 8 on the other side if that pretensioner has not been triggered.
Simultaneously Deploying Airbag(S) and Triggering Seat Belt Pretensioners:
1. Disconnect both the negative cable and positive cable from the battery.
