Deployment Tool 07AAZ-000A100
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioner (including those in a whole vehicle to
be scrapped), the part(s) must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the Acura District Parts and Service Manager must give
approval and/or special instruction before deploying the part(s). Only after the part(s) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for
example), can they be scrapped.
If the parts appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioner
should be deployed while still in the vehicle. These parts should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures, then wait at least 3 minutes.
3. Confirm that each front airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, seat belt tensioner, or seat belt buckle tensioner is securely mounted.
4. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
