Inflator Module Handling and Scrapping
INFLATOR MODULE HANDLING AND SCRAPPING
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
Live and Undeployed Inflator Module
Take special care when handling or storing a live and undeployed inflator module. An 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 Module
Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active.
Therefore, a deployed inflator module must still be treated as an active inflator module. If disposal of a deployed or undeployed dual stage module is
required, both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the inflator module.
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 a live and undeployed inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. If scrapping a deployed
dual stage inflator module, both stages must be energized. The following information covers the proper procedures for the disposing of a live and
undeployed inflator module. Do not deploy the 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 or seat belt system. When a vehicle is the subject of a product
