Servicing and handling
WARNING
!
Many of service procedures require
disconnection of “AIR BAG” fuse and all air
bag (inflator) module(s) from initiator circuit
to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver, Passenger and Side Air Bag (Inflator)
Modules
• For handling and storage of a live air bag
(inflator) module, select a place where the
ambient temperature below 65
°
C (150
°
F),
without high humidity and away from
electric noise.
• When carrying a live air bag (inflator)
module, make sure the bag opening is
pointed away from you. In case of an
accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury.
Never carry the air bag (inflator) module by
the wires or connector on the underside of
the module. When placing a live air bag
(inflator) module on a bench or other
surface, always face the bag up, away from
the surface. As the live passenger air bag
(inflator) module must be placed with its
bag facing up, place it on the workbench
with a slit (1) or use the workbench vise (2)
to hold it securely at its lower mounting
bracket (3). It is also prohibited to place
anything on top of the trim cover and stack
air bag (inflator) modules. This is
necessary so that a free space is provided
to allow the air bag to expand in the
unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
• Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag
(inflator) modules (driver, passenger and
side of driver and passenger). If disposal is
necessary, be sure to deploy them
according to deployment procedures
described in “Air Bag (Inflator) Module and
Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal in Section
8B” before disposal.
• The air bag (inflator) module immediately
after deployment is very hot. Wait for at
least half an hour to cool it off before
proceeding the work.
• After an air bag (inflator) module has been
deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue. This powder
consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-
products of the chemical reaction. As with
many service procedures, gloves and
safety glasses should be worn.
[A]: ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE WITH TRIM COVER
(AIR BAG OPENING) AWAY FROM BODY.
[B]: ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE ON WORKBENCH
WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE
OBJECTS.
