Deployment tool O7HAZ-SGOO5OO
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, or seat belt tensioners (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 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, and seat belt tensioners 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 OFF, then disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbags, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
