Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
52B-39
<Air bag module (front passenger’s side)>
(1) Remove the air bag module from the vehicle.
(Refer to P.52B-27.)
Caution
The connector of the front passenger’s side air
bag module is so constructed that the positive
and negative terminals are automatically
short-circuited when it is disconnected to prevent
an accidental deployment of the air bag resulting
from static electricity generation. Nevertheless,
to eliminate the slightest possibility of an
accidental deployment, always bear the following
in mind; the air bag module should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the pad cover
face up. Anything should not be placed on top
of it.
(2) Connect two wires, each six meters or longer, to the
two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness A 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.
(3) Connect the deployment wires to the SRS air bag
adaptor harness A, pass it beneath the tyre, and
wheel assembly, and connect it to the air bag module.
(4) Pass the thick wires into the hole of the air bag module
bracket, and secure it to the wheel of the old tyre
with wheel (4 locations), with the air bag facing
upwards.
Caution
1) Leave some space below the wheel for the
deployment wires.
If there is no space, the reaction of the air
bag deployment could result in damage of
the adaptor harness.
2) While deployment takes place, do not have
the connector of the SRS air bag adaptor
harness A inserted between the tyres.
