SRS - Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures 52B-65 Driver’s air bag module (Refer to GROUP 52A – Instrument Panel.) (2) Disconnect the clock spring 2-pin connector and instrument panel wiring harness connector (2-pin, yellow). Once disconnected from the instrument panel wiring harness, both electrodes of the clock spring connector short automatically. This prevents the driver’s air bag from accidental deployment caused by static, etc. (3) Connect deployment harnesses longer than 6 m to each SRS air bag adapter harness and insulate the connections with plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment harnesses in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the driver’s air bag from accidental deployment caused by static etc. (4) Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness to the clock spring 2-pin connector and route the deployment harnesses out of the vehicle. (5) Close all the doors with the windows fully closed and put a cover over the vehicle to minimize report. Caution The cover is required as the glass, if already damaged, may break. (6) Separate the deployment harnesses as far from the vehicle as possible and connect to the terminals of the battery removed from the vehicle. Then deploy. Caution 1) Before deploying the air bag, see that no one is in and near the vehicle. Also, put on safety glasses. 2) The deployment makes the inflator of the driver’s air bag very hot. Before handling the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling. 3) If the driver’s air bag module fails to deploy although the procedure is respected, do not go near the module. Contact your local distributor. (7) Discard the deployed air bag module according to Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures. (Refer to P.52B-75.)
