AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
52B-199
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Air bag
module (front passenger's side)>
WARNING
•
This should be carried out in a wide, flat
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and
other people.
•
Do not deploy outside if wind is high.
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of
the air bag modules.
DANGER
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to
P.37A-3
).
1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery
cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.
WARNING
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the
front passenger’s air bag module connector
short automatically to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static etc. Still, in
consideration of the accidental deployment,
store the air bag module on flat place with
deployment surface facing up. Also, do not
put anything on it.
2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle
(Refer to
P.52B-179
).
3. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to
each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB686560) and insulate the connections with
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.
4. Connect the deployment wires to special tool SRS
air bag adapter harness (MB686560), pass it
beneath the tyre and wheel assembly, and
connect it to the air bag module.
CAUTION
•
The adapter harness below the wheel should
be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when
the air bag deploys could damage the adapter
harness.
•
During deployment, the connector of special
tool SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560)
must not be between the tyres.
5. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module
mounting hole, and then secure the air bag
module to an old tyre with a wheel in it so that the
pad on the module is facing upwards.
6. Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the
tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all
tyres together with ropes (four locations).
