Deploy the supplemental restraint steering wheel inflator module inside the vehicle when destroying the vehicle. Deploy the inflator module inside the
vehicle when salvaging the vehicle for component parts. This includes, but is not limited to the following situations:
^
The vehicle completes its useful life. Irreparable damage occurs to the vehicle in a non-deployment type accident.
^
Irreparable damage occurs to the vehicle during theft.
^
You are salvaging the vehicle for component parts to use on a vehicle with a different Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), as opposed to
rebuilding as the same VIN. Never use Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components from another vehicle. This ensures Supplemental
Restraint System integrity. When servicing an SRS equipped vehicle, use only new SRS components, except when obtaining remanufactured parts
from an authorized Isuzu dealer.
CAUTION: In order to prevent accidental deployment of the air bag which could cause personal injury, do not dispose of an undeployed Inflator
module as normal shop waste. The undeployed inflator module contains substances that could cause severe illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal. Use the following deployment procedures to safely dispose of an undeployed inflator module. Failure to dispose of
an Inflator module as instructed may be a violation of federal, state, or local laws.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the key.
3. Put on safety glasses.
4. Remove all the loose objects from the front seats.
5. Disconnect the inflator module yellow 2-way connector. This connector is located at the base of the steering column.
6. Cut the inflator module yellow 2-way connector from the vehicle. Leave at least 16 cm (6 inches) of wire at the connector.
7. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of insulation from each wire lead of the connector.
