4. Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel
performing these procedures or by people in the
immediate area.
DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables
from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery
from the vehicle.
Caution
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the
battery cables before doing any further work.
(Refer to P.52B-4.)
3. Deploy each air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner
in the following procedures.
Driver’s side air bag module
(1) Remove the steering column cover lower.
(2) Remove the connection between the clock spring
2-pin connector (red) and the instrument panel wiring
harness connector (2-pin yellow).
NOTE
If the clock spring connector is disconnected from
the instrument panel wiring harness, both electrodes
of the clock spring connector will be automatically
shorted to prevent unintended deployment of the
driver’s side air bag due to static electricity, etc.
(3) Connect two wires, each six meters or longer, to the
two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness 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 driver’s side air bag.
(4) Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness to the
clock spring 2-pin connector and pull the deployment
wires out of the vehicle.
