Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping
INFLATOR MODULE HANDLING AND SCRAPPING
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) INFLATOR MODULE
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
Use special care when handling or storing live, undeployed, inflator modules. Inflator module deployment produces a rapid generation of gas. This
may cause the inflator module, or an object in front of the inflator module, to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment.
DUAL STAGE INFLATOR MODULES
Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy the inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a
deployed dual stage inflator module must be treated as an active module. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is required both
deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag.
SCRAPPING PROCEDURE
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live, undeployed, inflator module. Do not
dispose of a live, undeployed, inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following
information covers the proper procedures for disposing of a live, undeployed, inflator module.
Do not deploy an inflator module in the following situations:
-
After replacement of an inflator module under warranty. The inflator module may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
-
If the vehicle is the subject of a product liability report (GM-1241) related to the SIR system. When a vehicle is the subject of a product liability
report, do not alter the SIR system in any manner.
-
If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the inflator modules. Follow the instructions in the Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR
handling procedures.
