AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER

DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

M1524001201108

Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped
with an air bag, follow the procedures below to
deploy the air bag.

UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DIS-
POSAL

WARNING

•

If the vehicle is to be scrapped or other-
wise disposed of, deploy the air bags and
operate the seat belt pre-tensioner inside
the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue to
be used and only the air bag modules and
seat belt pre-tensioner are to be disposed
of, deploy the air bags and operate the
seat belt pre-tensioner outside the vehi-
cle.

•

Since a large amount of smoke is pro-
duced when the air bag is deployed and
the seat belt pre-tensioner is operated,
avoid residential areas whenever possi-
ble.

•

Since there is loud noise when the air
bags are deployed and when the seat belt
pre-tensioner are operated, avoid residen-
tial areas whenever possible. If anyone is
nearby, give warning of the impending
noise.

•

Suitable ear protection should be worn by
personnel performing these procedures
or by people in the immediate area.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(WHEN DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE)
<DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after the disconnec-
tion of the battery cable before any further
job (Refer to

P.52B-5

2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

3. Remove the column cover lower (Refer to

GROUP 37, Steering shaft

P.37-92

4. Remove the connection between the B-136 clock

spring connector (4-pin) and the harness side
connector (4-pin).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the instrument
panel wiring harness, both electrodes of the clock
spring connector short automatically. This pre-
vents the driver's air bag from accidental deploy-
ment caused by static, etc.

5. Obtain two suitable wires, which are 6 meters or

longer, as deployment wires. Then connect the
wires at one end to short.

6. Touch the vehicle's body with bare hands to

discharge static in you.

7. Cut with a pliers, etc. the instrument panel wiring

harness shown in the figure of the instructions,
while the B-136 clock spring connector is
disconnected.
NOTE: The disconnection location should be suf-
ficiently away from the B-136 harness side con-
nector with consideration to the expansion
harness connection location upon disconnections.

8. Connect the deployment wires on the two

instrument panel wiring harnesses disconnected,
cover the connection areas with insulator tape
and then pull out the deployment wires outside the
vehicle.

9. Connect the B-136 harness side connector

connected with an expansion harness to the
B-136 clock spring connector.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment
could cause it to crack and fly out of the
vehicle, so always put a cover over the vehi-
cle.

10.To suppress the operation sound as much as

possible completely close all door windows, close
the doors and put the cover on the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Before deploying the air bag in this man-
ner, first check to be sure that there is no
one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety
glasses.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although not poi-
sonous, do not inhale gas from the air bag
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Mod-
ule and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner
Disposal (Refer to

P.52B-176

) for

post-deployment handling instructions.

•

If the air bag module fails to deploy, do
not go near the module. Contact your dis-
tributor.

11.At a location as far away from the vehicle as

possible, disconnect the two connected wires
from each other, and connect them to the two
terminals of the battery (which has been removed
from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.

12.After deployment, dispose of the air bag module

according to the Deployed Air Bag Module and
Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer
to

P.52B-176

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(WHEN DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE)
<PASSENGER'S (FRONT) AIR BAG
MODULE>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after the disconnec-
tion of the battery cable before any further
job (Refer to

P.52B-5

2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

3. Remove the glove box (Refer to GROUP 52A,

4. Remove the connection between the B-06

passenger's (front) air bag module connector
(2-pin, red) and the harness side connector (2-pin,
red).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the instrument
panel wiring harness, both electrodes of the pas-
senger's (front) air bag module short automati-
cally. This prevents the passenger's (front) air bag
from accidental deployment caused by static, etc.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560)
and insulate the connections with insulator tape.
Also, connect the deployment wires in the other
ends to short, thereby preventing the passenger's
(front) air bag from accidental deployment caused
by static etc.

6. Connect the B-06 passenger's (front) air bag

module connector (2-pin, red) to special tool SRS
air bag adapter harness (MB686560) and move
the deployment wires out of the vehicle.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment
could cause it to crack and fly out of the
vehicle, so always put a cover over the vehi-
cle.

7. To suppress the operation sound as much as

possible completely close all door windows, close

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(WHEN DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE)
<SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

WARNING

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to

P.52B-5

2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

The side-airbag modules for both the driver's
side and passenger's side should be
deployed.

3. Remove the connection between the C-23 or

C-25 side-airbag module connector (2-pin, red)
and the harness side connector (2-pin, red).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the instrument
panel wiring harness, both electrode of the
side-airbag module connector short automatically.
This prevents the side-airbag from accidental
deployment caused by static etc.

4. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to
