Scrapped Vehicle
Some vehicles that are damaged or inoperable to the point that service cannot be made may contain undeployed air bags. This condition could occur by
side or rear impact, rollover or if the vehicle is simply past its useful lifetime. THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED USING THE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. See: Air Bag Deployment
Air Bag Deployment
WARNING: REMOTE DEPLOYMENT IS TO BE PERFORMED OUTDOORS WITH ALL PERSONNEL AT LEAST 6 M (20 FEET)
AWAY TO ENSURE PERSONAL SAFETY AND DUE TO THE LOUD REPORT WHICH OCCURS WHEN DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED.
1. Remove the driver side air bag module and passenger side air bag module from the vehicle.
2. Cut the two module connector wires and strip 25 mm (1 inch) of insulation from the ends. Obtain two wires at least 6 m (20 feet) long. Connect
one end of each wire to each of the air bag module wires.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE THE AIR BAG WITH THE TRIM COVER FACING DOWN, AS THE FORCES OF THE
DEPLOYING AIR BAG MAY CAUSE IT TO RICOCHET AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
3. Place the air bag with the trim cover facing upward on a flat surface in a remote area such as a parking lot or field.
4. Remaining at least 6 m (20 feet) away from the air bag, deploy it by touching the other ends of the two wires to the terminals of a 12-volt vehicle
battery.
5. If successful, a loud report will be heard and the air bag material will be visible. Allow at least 10 minutes before approaching the air bags to
allow for cooling.
The air bags are now deployed and may be scrapped in accordance with scrap metal procedures.
