SRS Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
Caution
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cables before doing any further work. The SRS
system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy
the air bag even after the battery has been discon-
nected. Serious injury may result from unintended
air bag deployment if work is done on the SRS system
immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.

3. Install a disused nut to each of the four bolts at the
back of air bag module and connect thick wires to
these bolts to secure the module to the wheel.
4. Pass SRS air bag adapter harness B, connected
with wires, under the used tire wheel assembly and
connect the harness to the air bag module.
5. Put the air bag module in the used wheel. Using
the wires or the ‘like connected to the module’s bolts,
secure the air bag module to the wheel. Then place
the wheel with the module facing upward.
Caution
Slacken the adapter harness under the wheel to
allow for the reaction produced in deployment
of the module. If not, the adapter harness may
be damaged by the reaction created in deploy-
ment.

2. Connect two wires each six meters (20 feet) long
or more, to the two leads of SRS AIR BAG ADAPTER
HARNESS B, and cover the connections with insula-
tion tape. The other ends of the two wires should
be connected to each other (short-circuited), to pre-
vent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag.
