8B-118 Air Bag System:

8) Route deployment harness (1) out of vehicle.
9) Check that inside of vehicle and area surrounding

vehicle are clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects.

10) Stretch deployment harness (1) to its full length 10 m

(33 ft).

11) Place 12 volts vehicle battery (2) near shorted end of

deployment harness (1).

12) Completely cover windshield area and front door

window openings with drop cloth, a blanket or any
similar item. This reduces possibility of injury due to
possible fragmentation of vehicle’s glass or interior.

13) Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to

deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt
pretensioners.

NOTE

• When air bag (inflator) module deploys or

seat belt pretensioners activate, rapid gas
expansion will create substantial report.
Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all
people in immediate area that you intend
to deploy air bag (inflator) module or to
activate seat belt pretensioner and suitable
ear protection should be worn.

• After air bag (inflator) module has been

deployed, surface of air bag may contain
powdery residue. This powder consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate
air bag (inflator) module as it inflates) and
by-products of chemical reaction.

WARNING

• Do not place deployed air bag (inflator)

module and activated seat belt
pretensioners near any flammable objects.

• Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air

bag (inflator) module and activated seat
belt pretensioners.

• Wait for about 30 minutes before touching

any metal surface of air bag (inflater)
module or seat belt pretensioner modules.
Disregarding these precautions may cause
fire or personal injury.

Failure to follow procedures may result in fire
or personal injury.

14) Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment

harness (2).

15) Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle

battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate
air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.

16) Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts

vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana
plug into the other.

17) Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air

bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners
which has not been deployed / activated, if any.

18) In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module

and seat belt pretensioners after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24)
through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with
Steps 19) through 23).

19) Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean

off any fragments or discard it entirely.

20) Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from

possible irritation and heat when handling deployed
air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt
pretensioners.

21) Disconnect adapter cable (special tool) from air bag

(inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as soon as
possible. This will prevent adapter cable (special
tool) from damage due to possible contact with hot
air bag (inflator) module or hot seat belt
pretensioner.

22) Check adapter cable connector as follows.

Adapter cable connector (special tool) is designed to
be reused. However it should be inspected for
damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.

23) With air bag (inflator) modules deployed and seat

belt pretensioners activated, vehicle may be
scrapped in the same manner as non-air bag system
/ seat belt pretensioner equipped vehicle.

NOTE
Remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module
did not deploy or seat belt pretensioner did
not activate.

24) Remove undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and/

or inactivated seat belt pretensioner(s) from vehicle.
For driver air bag (inflator) module, refer to “Driver
Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation”.
For passenger air bag (inflator) module, refer to
“Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation”. For side air bag (inflator) module, refer
to “Side-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation”. For side curtain-air bag (inflator)
module, “Side Curtain-Air Bag (Inflator) Module
Removal and Installation”. For seat belt
pretensioner, refer to “Front Seat Belt Removal and
Installation in Section 8A”.

25) Temporarily store undeployed air bag (inflator)

module referring to “Precautions on Service and
Diagnosis of Air Bag System” for details.

Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and
Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal

S5JB0A8206019

WARNING

Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment
and pretensioner activation which may cause
personal injury. The undeployed air bag
(inflator) module and the inactivated seat belt
pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and
the inactivated seat belt pretensioner
contains substances that can cause severe
illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal.

Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat
belt pretensioner can be disposed of through normal
refuse channels just like any other parts. For their
disposal, however, the following points should be noted.
• The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt

pretensioner immediately after deployment / activation
is very hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before
handling it.

• Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag

(inflator) module and the activated seat belt
pretensioner to cool it off and be careful so that water,
oil etc. does not get on the deployed air bag (inflator)
module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.

• After the 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, you should wear gloves and
safety glasses.

• When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator)

module and the activated seat belt pretensioner, be
sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.

• When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt

pretensioner have been deployed / activated inside
the vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them
as installed to the vehicle.

• Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water

after handling them.
