AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-166

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.

7. 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.

8. After deployment, dispose of the front seatback

assembly (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)
<CURTAIN AIR BAG 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 curtain air bag modules for both the
right side and left side should be deployed.

3. Remove the headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A,

Headlining

P.52A-16

4. Execute the following steps to disconnect the

connection between C-07 or C-10 curtain air bag
module connector (2-pin) and harness side
connector (2-pin, black).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the curtain air
bag wiring harness, both electrode of the curtain
air bag module connector short automatically.
This prevents the curtain air bag module from
accidental deployment caused by static etc.
(1) Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out

forward and unlock the locking button of the
harness-side connector (2-pin, black).

(2) Disconnect the C-07 or C-10 harness side

connector.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
insulator tape. Also, connect the deployment
wires in the other ends to short, thereby
preventing the curtain air bag from accidental
deployment caused by static etc.

6. Connect the C-07 or C-10 curtain air bag module

2-pin connector (black) to special tool SRS air bag
adapter harness (MB991885) and move the
deployment harness 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
the doors and put the vehicle.

4. Execute the following steps to disconnect the

connection between C-20 or C-28 seat belt
pre-tensioner connector (2-pin) and harness side
connector (2-pin, black).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the instrument
panel wiring harness, both electrode of the seat
belt pre-tensioner connector short automatically.
This prevents the seat belt pre-tensioner from
accidental deployment caused by static etc.
(1) Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out

forward and unlock the locking button of the
harness-side connector (2-pin, black).

(2) Disconnect the C-20 or C-28 harness side

connector.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
insulator tape. Also, connect the deployment
wires in the other ends to short, thereby
preventing the seat belt pre-tensioner from
accidental deployment caused by static etc.

6. Connect the C-20 or C-28 seat belt pre-tensioner

connector (2-pin) to special tool SRS air bag
adapter harness (MB991885) and move the
deployment wires out of the vehicle.

7. Close all the door windows fully to avoid operating

sound as much as possible.

WARNING

•

Before operating the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner in this manner, 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 operation, so wait at least 30
minutes to allow it to cool before attempt-
ing to handle it. Although no poisonous,
do not inhale gas from the seat belt
pre-tensioner operation. See Deployed Air
Bag and Operated Seat Belt pre-tensioner
Disposal (Refer to

P.52B-176

) for

post-operation handling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to oper-
ate, do not go near the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner. Contact your distributor.

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

possible, disconnect the two connected wires
from each the, and connect them to the two
terminals of the battery (which has been removed
from the vehicle) to operating the seat belt
pre-tensioner.

9. After operation, dispose of the seat belt

pre-tensioner according to the Deployed Air Bag

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
<AIR BAG MODULE (DRIVER'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.52B-5

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
driver’s air bag module connector short
automatically to prevent accidental deploy-
ment caused by static etc. Still, in considera-
tion 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-145

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

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

4. Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to

discharge static in you.

5. Using pliers, cut the driver’s air bag module

connector from the harnesses. Connect the
deployment wires to each harness that has been
cut and insulate the connections with plastic tape.

6. Install a nut to the bolt behind the driver’s air bag

module and tie thick wire there for securing.

7. Route the deployment wires connected to the

driver’s air bag module beneath an old tyre and
wheel assembly. Then, using the wire tied to the
bolt, secure the driver’s air bag module to the tyre
and wheel assembly with the deployment surface
facing up.

8. Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre

secured with the driver’s air bag module.
