Does the SRS warning lamp illuminate for about 7 seconds
and go off for 5 seconds or more?

YES: The system is working properly.
NO: Go to Troubleshooting. (Refer to P.52B-8.)

INSPECTION

If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace
the side impact sensor(s) with new one(s).
1.

Check the side impact sensors for dents, cracks,
deformation and rust.

Check the connector for damage and the terminals for
deformation.

Check the center pillar or quarter panel, inner for
deformation and rust.

NOTE
For other inspections than described above, go to
Troubleshooting. (P.52B-8.)

Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures

52B-48

AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES

Before disposing of a vehicle which is equipped
with air bags or seat belts with pre-tensioner, or
when disposing of the air bags or seat belt

pre-tensioner themselves, the following procedures
must be used to deploy the air bags or operate
the seat belt pre-tensioners before disposal.

UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL

Caution
1.

If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed
of, deploy the air bags inside the vehicle, and operate
the seat belt pre-tensioners outside the vehicle. If the
vehicle will continue to be operated 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-tensioners outside the vehicle.

Since a large amount of smoke is produced when
the air bag are deployed or the seat belt pre-tensioner
is operated, avoid residential areas whenever possible.

Since there is a loud noise when the air bags are
deployed and when the seat belt pre-tensioners are
operated, avoid residential 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

Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

Disconnect the negative (–) and positive (+) battery cables
from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery
from the vehicle.

Caution
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cables before doing any further work.
(Refer to P.52B-4.)

Deploy each air bag module as specified in the service
procedures that follows.

Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures

52B-49

Driver’s air bag module

(1) Remove the steering column cover, lower.

(Refer to GROUP 52A – Instrument Panel.)

(2) Disconnect the clock spring 2-pin connector and

instrument panel wiring harness connector (2-pin,
yellow).

NOTE
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 air bag module fails to deploy although

the procedure is respected, do not go near
the module. Contact your local distributor.

(7) After deployment of the driver’s air bag module, discard

as specified in the procedure (Refer to P.52B-60).

(1) Remove the glove box.

(Refer to GROUP 52A – Instrument Panel.)

(2) Disconnect the front passenger’s air bag module 2-pin

connector (red) and instrument panel wiring harness
connector (2-pin, red).

NOTE
Once disconnected from the instrument panel wiring
harness, both electrodes of the front passenger’s air
bag module short automatically. This prevents the front
passenger 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 front passenger’s
air bag from accidental deployment caused by static
etc.

(4) Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness to the front

passenger’s air bag module 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
