Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures
52B-53
(4) Take the SRS air bag adapter harness that is
connected to the wires, pass it beneath the old tyre
wheel assembly, and connect it to the drive’s side air
bag module.
(5) With the driver’s side air bag module upwards, place
it in the wheel of old tyre and secure with the wire tied
to the bolt.
Caution
Slack the deployment wires below the wheel. If
deployment wires are tight, the reaction when the
air bag deploys could damage the adaptor
harness.
(6) Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the
tyre secured to the driver’s side air bag module.
(7) Disconnect the deployment wires as far from the
driver’s side air bag module as possible and connect
the wires to the terminals of the battery removed
from the vehicle. Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, be sure that no one
is near the driver’s side air bag module.
2) The deployment of the driver’s side air bag
makes the inflator very hot. Before handling
the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for
cooling.
3) If the driver’s side air bag module fails to
deploy when the procedures above are
followed, do not go near the module. Contact
your local distributor.
(8) After deployment, dispose of air bag module according
to the Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures. (Refer to
P.52B-58.)
