Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners 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 airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat
belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result of vehicle
collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioners 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, seat belt tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioners should be deployed
while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be considered as salvageable parts and
should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
