Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures

(7) After deployment of the front passenger’s air bag

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

Side air bag module

(1) Disconnect the side air bag module wiring harness

connector (2-pin, yellow) and body wiring harness
connector (2-pin).

Caution
The side air bag modules both in the driver’s and
passenger’s sides should be deployed.

NOTE
Once disconnected from the side air bag wiring
harness, both electrode of the side air bag module
connector short automatically. This prevents the side
air bag from accidental deployment caused by static
etc.

(2) Prepare two wires longer than 6 m for deployment

and connect the terminals in one end to short-circuit.
This is to prevent accidental deployment caused by
static etc.

(3) Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to discharge

static in you.

Caution
Never fail to do Step (3) in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.

(4) Using pliers, cut the side air bag module connector

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

(5) Route the deployment harnesses out of the vehicle.

(6) 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.

(7) Disconnect the deployment wires as far from the

vehicle as possible  and connect the wires to the
terminals of  the battery removed from the vehicle.
Deploy the side air bag module.

Caution
1) Before deploying the air bag in this manner,

first check to be sure that there is no one in
or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.

2) The deployment of the side air bag makes the

inflator very hot. Before handling the inflator,
wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.

3) If the air bag module fails to deploy when the

procedures above are followed, do not go near
the module. Contact your local distributor.

(8) Remove the deployed side air bag module from the

seat back assembly and discard as specified in the
procedure (Refer to P.52B-60).

Seat belt pre-tensioner

(1) Remove the quarter trim. (Refer to GROUP 52A)
(2) Remove the connection between the seat belt

pre-tensioner 2-pin connector (yellow) and the body
wiring harness connector (2-pin).

NOTE
If the seat belt pre-tensioner connector is disconnected
from the body wiring harness, both electrodes of the
seat belt pre-tensioner connector will be automatically
shorted to prevent unintended operation of the seat
belt pre-tensioner due to static electricity, etc.

(3) Prepare two wires longer than 6 m for deployment

and connect the terminals in one end to short-circuit.
This is to prevent accidental operation caused by static
etc.

(4) Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to discharge

static in you.

Caution
Never fail to do Step (3) in order to prevent
accidental operation caused by static.

(5) Using pliers, cut the seat belt pre-tensioner connector

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

(6) Route the deployment harness out of the vehicle.

(7) Fully close all door windows, close the doors and

place a cover over the vehicle to minimize the amount
of noise.

Caution
If the glass is damaged, it may break, so the car
must be covered.

(8) Disconnect the deployment harnesses as far from the

vehicle as possible and connect the wires to the
terminals of the battery removed from the vehicle.
Operate the seat belt pre-tensioner.

Caution
1) Before operating the seat belt pre-tensioner

in this manner, first check to be sure that there
is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety
glasses.

2) The operation of the seat belt pre-tensioner

makes the inflator very hot. Before handling
the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for
cooling.

3) If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate

when the procedures above are followed, do
not go near the seat belt pre-tensioner. Contact
your local distributor.

(9) After operation of the seat belt pre-tensioner, discard

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

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Caution
1.

This should be carried out in a wide, flat area at least
6 m away from obstacles and other people.

2.

Do not deploy outside if wind is high. Even in a soft
wind, ignite to windward of the air bag modules, front
seat back assembly with side air bag module or seat
belt pre-tensioner.

1.

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.)

2.

Deploy each air bag module, seat belt pre-tensioner in
the following procedures.

Driver’s air bag module

(1) Remove the driver’s air bag module from the vehicle.

(Refer to P.52B-36.)

Caution
The driver’s air bag module should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the air bag
deployment surfaces are facing upward. Do not
place anything on top of them.

(2) Connect two wires, each six meters or longer, to the

two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness and cover
the connections with insulation tape. The other ends
of the two wires should be connected to each other
(short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected
deployment of the driver’s air bag.

(3) Install a nut to the bolt behind the driver’s air bag

module and tie thick wire for securing to the wheel.
