If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected,
replace with a new sensor.

NOTE: 

For checking of the seat slide sensor other

than described below, refer to the section
concerning SRS diagnosis (Refer to P.52B-306).

1.

Check  the  seat  slide  sensor  for  dent,  cracks  or
deformation.

AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

M15204000012USA0000010000

Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped
with an air bag, follow the procedures below to deploy
the air bag.

UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL

Required Special Tools:

｠

MB992102: Air Bag Inflation Adapter Harness

｠

MB991885:  Pre-tensioner  Adapter  Harness  (For  pre-
tensioner)

｠

If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of,
deploy  the  air  bags  and  operate  the  seat  belt  pre-
tensioners inside the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue
to be used 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  is  deployed  and  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 (WHEN DISPOSING
OF A VEHICLE) <DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE>

1.

Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

Wait  at  least  60  seconds  after  disconnecting  the  battery
cables before doing any further work (Refer to P.52B-28).

Battery  posts,  terminals  and  related  accessories  contain
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 cover (Refer to P.52B-329).

4.

Slide  the  outer  housing  of  the  driver’s  air  bag  module
connector in the arrow direction shown, and disconnect the
connector.

NOTE: 

When the driver's air bag module connector is

disconnected from the inflator, the four pins of inflator
connector are automatically shorted. This prevents the
unintentional deployment of driver's air bags caused by
the static or others.

5.

Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer,
to  the  two  leads  of  special  tool  MB992102,  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.

If  the  windshield  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.

7.

To suppress the sound as much as possible, completely close
all  door  windows,  close  the  doors  and  put  a  cover  on  the
vehicle.

｠

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  Disposal  (Refer  to  P.52B-371)  for  post-
deployment handling instructions.

｠

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

8.

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.

9.

After deployment, dispose of the air bag module according to
the Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt Pre-
tensioner Disposal (Refer to P.52B-371).
