Deploying Components Out of the Vehicle
If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it
should be deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle on the tool label.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors, on flat ground, at least 10 m (32 ft) from any obstacles or people.
3. Follow steps 12 through 15 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
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.
Disposal of Damaged Components
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag See: Removal and Replacement/Driver's Airbag Replacement, the
front passenger's airbag See: Removal and Replacement/Front Passenger's Airbag Replacement, the side airbag See: Removal and
Replacement/Side Airbag Replacement, the side curtain airbag See: Removal and Replacement/Side Curtain Airbag Replacement, and the front
seat belt tensioner See: Seat Belt Systems/Seat Belt/Service and Repair/Front Seat Belt Replacement.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by cutting, stripping, and twisting together the two inflator wires.
NOTE: The driver's and front passenger's airbags have dual inflators. The like color wires go to the individual inflators. Twist the like colored wires
