7. Cut off each airbag connector, strip the ends of the wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator clips (A) to the wires. Place the deployment
tool at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's airbag and front passenger's airbag have four wires, two yellow (1st inflator) and 2 red (2nd inflator). Twist each pair of
unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
8. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
-
If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the component. Go to Disposal of Damaged Airbag.
-
If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
9. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation).
-
If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
-
If an component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Disposal of Damaged Components.
-
During deployment the airbag can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after deployment before touching the airbag.
10. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal it securely.
