Seat Belt Tensioner Reduction Solenoid: Service and Repair
Deploying Airbag and Triggering Belt Tensioner (Inside Vehicle)
Before scrapping any airbags or seat belt tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed and the seat belt
tensioners must be triggered. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or triggering the seat belt tensioners, the
Acura District Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction. Only after the airbags have been deployed or a seat belt tensioner is
triggered (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags or the seat belt tensioners appear intact (not deployed or
triggered), treat them with extreme caution. Follow the procedure.
