AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52Ba-53

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 vehicle.

6. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible 

completely close all door windows, close the doors and put 
the vehicle.

WARNING

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.

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 
the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag 
Module and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Dis-
posal (Refer to 

P.52Ba-62

.) for post-deployment 

handling instructions.

If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near 
the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.

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.52Ba-62

.)

.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (when disposing of a 
vehicle) <Seat belt pre-tensioner>
1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

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

P.52Ba-18

.)

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER 
HANDLING.

2. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables 

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

3. Remove the center pillar lower trim. (Refer to GROUP 52A,

4. Remove the connection between the F-27 or F-29 seat belt 

pre-tensioner connector (two-pin, red) and the harness 
connector (two-pin, red).
NOTE: If the seat belt pre-tensioner connector is discon-
nected from the floor 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.

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

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover 
the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the 
deployment wires should be connected to each other (short-
circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected operate of the seat 
belt pre-tensioner.

6. Connect the F-27 or F-29 seat belt pre-tensioner connector 

(two-pin, red) to special tool MB686560 and move the 
deployment wires out of the vehicle.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, seat belt pre-tensioner oper-
ation could cause it to crack and fly out of the vehicle, 
so always put a cover over the vehicle.

7. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible 

completely close all door windows, close the doors and put 
the cover on the vehicle.

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Air bag module 
(driver's side)>

DANGER

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

P.52Ba-18

.)

WARNING

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

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52Ba-56

CAUTION

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the driver’s air bag 
module connector short automatically to prevent acciden-
tal deployment caused by static etc. Still, in consideration 
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.52Ba-33

.)

3. Prepare two wires longer than 6 meters (20 feet) for 

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

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 4 in order to prevent accidental 
deployment caused by static.
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 side air bag 

module and tie thick wire there for securing.

7. Route the deployment wires connected to the driver’s side 

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

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

the driver’s side air bag module.
