12. Disconnect the SSTs (Deployment tool) from the SSTs (Adapter harness) .  

SIDE AIR BAG MODULE 

1. Remove the side air bag module. 

(See SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) 

2. Install the nuts to the side air bag module as shown in the figure, and connect the SST (Adapter 

harness) . 

WARNING:

Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs 
twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single 
operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would 
not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious 
injury if the air bag module operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If 
the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform 
Step 8 again. If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds 
cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed again, 
leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before 
approaching it again.  

The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated 
(deployed). You can be burned. Do not touch the air bag 
module for at least 15 min after deployment.

 {0.002 in

 } or more) 

through the tire and around the bolts at least 4 times . 

4. Stack the tire with the side air bag module on top of two tires without wheels. Stack a tire without a wheel 

on top of the tire with the side air bag module, and then stack another tire with a wheel on the very top. 

WARNING:

If the air bag module is not properly secured to the tire, the 
tires may fall over by the impact of operation (deployment) and 
cause serious injury. To prevent this, secure the air bag 
module properly with the padded surface facing the center of 
the tire.
