Side curtain airbag
7. Disconnect the left or right side wire harness 2P connector (A) from the side curtain airbag.
Seat belt tensioner
8. Disconnect the floor wire harness 4P connector (A) from the seat belt tensioner. Pull the seat belt out all the way and cut it.
9. Cut off each connector, strip the ends of the wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator clips (A) to the wires. Place the deployment tool at
least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's and front passenger's airbags have dual inflators. Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and clip an alligator clip to
each pair.
10. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
-
If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the component. Go to Disposal of Damaged
Components.
-
If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
11. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation).
-
If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
-
If a component does not deploy, and the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Disposal of Damaged Components.
-
During deployment the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait at least 30 minutes after deployment before touching the airbags.
