Outlander AWD L4-2.4L SOHC (2003)
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Air bag module (front passenger's side)>
DANGER:
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other people.
Do not perform deployment outside if a strong wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the air bag module downwind
from the battery.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
CAUTION: Once disconnected, both electrodes of the front passenger's air bag module connector short automatically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of the accidental deployment, store the air bag module on flat place with deployment surface
facing up. Also, do not put anything on it.
2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle.
3. Connect two wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover the connections with insulation tape.
The other ends of the two wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag
module.
4. Connect the deployment wires to special tool MB686560, pass it beneath the tire and wheel assembly, and connect it to the air bag module.
CAUTION: The adapter harness below the wheel should be loose.If it is too tight, the reaction when the air bag deploys could damage the adapter
harness.
During deployment, the connector of special toolMB686560 must not be between the tires.
5. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module mounting hole, and then secure the air bag module to an old tire with a wheel in it so that the pad on
the module is facing upwards.
6. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire secured to the air bag module, and secure all tires together with ropes (four locations).
WARNING: Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that no one is nearby.
