SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9A-29
5. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from the yellow
– green and yellow – black wire lead of the
connector.
6. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from
0.8 mm
2
(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire.
These wires will be used to fabricate the driver
deployment harness.
7. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends
of the wires cut in the previous step.
8. Short the wires by twisting together one end from
each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and
not be connected to a power source until the air
bag is to be deployed.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
IN THE ORDER LISTED COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT
DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO ANY POWER SOURCE
BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LEADS. DEPLOYMENT
WIRES SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE
CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE
AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR
BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED
TO IT. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES THROUGHOUT
THIS ENTIRE DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL
PROCEDURE.
9. Twist together one connector wire lead to one
deployment wire. The connection should be
mechanically secure.
10. Bend the twisted connection made in the previous
step flat and wrap it tightly with electrical tape to
insulate and secure.
11.
Twist together, bend and tape the remaining
connector wire lead to the remaining deployment
wire.
12. Connect the deployment harness to the driver air
bag assembly yellow connector at the base of the
steering column. Route the deployment harness
out through the driver’s side of the vehicle.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED.
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY
DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE
IS CONNECTED TO IT.
Connecting the deployment wires to the power
source should always be the final step in the air
bag assembly deployment procedure.
Failure to follow procedures in the order listed
could result in personal injury.
13. Disconnect the passenger air bag assembly yellow
connector located behind the glove box assembly.
14. Cut the passenger air bag assembly harness
connector from the vehicle leaving at least 15 cm
(six inches) of wire at the connector.
15. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from the blue–
white and pink–blue wire lead of the connector.
16. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from
0.8 mm
2
(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire.
These wires will be used to fabricate the
passenger deployment harness.
17. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends
of the wires cut in the previous step.
18. Short the wires by twisting together one end from
each. The deployment wires shall remain shorted
and not be connected to a power source until the
air bag is to be deployed.

wire.
22. Connect the deployment harness to the passenger
air bag assembly yellow connector located behind
the glove box assembly. Route the deployment
harness out through the passenger side of the
vehicle.
