Deployment out of the vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to be returned to service. This includes, for example, situations in which a functionally or
cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced. Deployment and disposal of an air bag assembly is, of course, subject to any required retention
period. For deployment of a live air bag assembly out of the vehicle, the deployment procedure must be followed exactly. Always wear safety glasses
during this deployment procedure until the deployed air bag assembly is scrapped. Before performing the procedures, you should be familiar with
servicing the SRS system and with proper handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures should be read fully before they are performed.
The following procedure requires use of J-42986 SRS Deployment Harness with the appropriate pigtail adapter.The procedure also requires the use of
J-41497 Passenger Side Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deployment Fixture. Do not attempt this procedure without J-42986 and fixture J-41497.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER
CONNECT DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWER SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL
THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER
SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL
PROCEDURE.
NOTE: This information applies only to passenger air bag assembly information for disposing of a live driver air bag assembly can be found in
"Deployment Outside Vehicle" (Driver Air Bag Assembly).
