AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-431

6. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire 

secured to the air bag module, and secure all tires together 
with ropes (four locations).

WARNING

Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that 
no one is nearby. 

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 poisonous, do not inhale gas from 
air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module 
and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal 
(Refer to 

P.52B-439

) for post-deployment handling 

instructions. 

If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go near the 
module.

7. At a location as far away from the air bag module as 

possible, and from a shielded position, 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. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in 

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

P.52B-439

).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-432

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <KNEE 
AIR BAG MODULE>

DANGER

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

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS 
AFTER HANDLING.

Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6 
meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other 
people.

Do not perform deployment outside if a strong 
wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place 
the air bag module downwind from the battery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables 

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

CAUTION

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the knee air bag 
module connector short automatically to prevent acciden-
tal deployment caused by static etc. Still, in consideration 
of possible accidental deployment, store the air bag mod-
ule on flat place with deployment surface facing up. Do not 
put anything on it.
2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-398

).

3. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or 

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB991885, and cover 
the connections with insulator tape. The other ends of the 
deployment wires should be connected to each other 
(short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment 
of the air bag module.
NOTE: This prevents the air bags from being unintentionally 
deployed because of the static and others.

4. Connect the special tool MB991885 to the knee air bag 

module.

5. Pass the thick wire through the hole of air bag module 

mounting bracket. When, with the air bag module 
deployment surface facing upward, fit the module to the old 
tire with wheel.

6. Place three old tires without wheels on the tire secured with 

the knee air bag module.

WARNING

Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that 
no one is nearby. 

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.

(Refer to

) for post-deployment handling 

instructions. 

If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go near the 
module.

7. At a location as far away from the air bag module as 

possible, and from a shielded position, 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. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE <SIDE-AIR 
BAG MODULE>

DANGER

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

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS 
AFTER HANDLING.

Deploy the side-air bag in a wide, flat area at least 
6 meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other 
people.

Do not perform deployment outside if a strong 
wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place 
the side-air bag module downwind from the bat-
tery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables 

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

CAUTION

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the side-air bag 
module connector short automatically to prevent acciden-
tal deployment caused by static etc. Still, in consideration 
of the accidental deployment, store the side-air bag mod-
ule on flat place with deployment surface facing up. Also, 
do not put anything on it. 
2. Remove the side-air bag module from the front seat 

assembly incorporated in the side-air bag (Refer to GROUP 
52A, Front Seat Assembly 

P.52A-24

).

3. Obtain two suitable wires, which are 6 meters (20 feet) or 

longer, as deployment wires. Then connect the wires at one 
end to short.
NOTE: This prevents the side-air bags from unintentional 
deployment caused by static electricity, etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 4 in order to prevent accidental 
deployment caused by static.
4. Install the front seatback so that the backside of the front 

seatback meets the ground.

5. Cut off the side-air bag module wiring harness connector 

from the wiring harness with nippers. Connect the 
deployment wire to each of the two cut wiring harnesses, 
and cover the connection areas with insulation tape.
