COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION
OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED INFLATOR
MODULE NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY. AFTER AN AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEPLOYED, THE METAL
CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE
METAL AREAS OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FOR
ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AFTER DEPLOYMENT. IF
THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE
MOVED BEFORE IT IS COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND
HANDLE BY THE AIR BAG ITSELF.

21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag

assembly as soon after deployment as possible to
avoid damage to the pigtail adapter or SRS
deployment harness from contacting the hot air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter and SRS
deployment harness are designed to be reused.
They should, however, be inspected for damage after
each deployment and replaced if necessary.

22. Dispose of the deployed air bag assembly through

normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at least
30 minutes.

23. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.

NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the air bag assembly did not deploy
after following the above procedures.

24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has been

disconnected from the power source and that its two
banana plugs have been shorted together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.

25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag

assembly.

WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER
SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG UP AND AWAY
FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO
THAT A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE
AIR BAG TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

26. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the bag

facing up, away from the surface upon which it rests.

Deployment Outside Vehicle (Fixing Air
Bag on Tire)

Read and understand the items of “CAUTIONS ABOUT
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES” and “Usage of Deployment Tool” for
safe deployment of air bag.

1. Remove air bag assembly from vehicle. Refer to air

bag assembly Removal “in this section”.

2. Inspect J–41434 Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) Deployment Harness and appropriate pigtail
adapter for damage. If harness or pigtail is damaged,
discard and obtain a replacement.

3. Extend double pole extension cord to a position far

away 10 m (33 feet) from the air bag assembly.

4. Place a power source near the extended end of SRS

air bag deployment harness. (Use of 12V battery is
recommended).

6. Prepare four 15 inch or larger tires without wheel and

two same size tires with wheels.

7. How to fix Driver air bag.

1. Fix the air bag with its trim cover up on a tire with a

wheel using an automobile use wire harness,
(core size: 0.05 inch) or a wire trebly at two or
more points.

2. Connect SRS air bag assembly to the double pole

extension cord of the air bag deployment
harness.
Do not connect the deployment harness to a pow-
er source until air bag deployment.
(If connected the SRS air bag assembly deploys
immediately)

NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into
the air bag assembly connector. Failure to fully seat the
connectors may leave the shorting bar located in the air
bag assembly connector functioning (shorting the
deployment circuit) and may result in non deployment of
the air bag assembly.

827RW054

3. Place three tires without wheel on the tire on

which air bag is fixed and a tire with a wheel on
top.
Bind the five tires with a rope so that the tires may
not collapse.

8. How to fix Passenger air bag.

1. Fix the air bag with its trim cover side fixing the

center of a tire without a wheel using an
automobile use wire harness, (core size: 0.05
inch) or a wire trebly at two or more points.

2. Connect Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

air bag assembly to the deployment harness
double pole extension cord end. Be sure not to
connect the deployment harness to a power
source. (If connected the SRS air bag assembly
deploys immediately).

9. Notify all people in the immediate area of your

intention to deploy the passenger air bag assembly.
The deployment will be accompanied by a substantial
noise which may startle the uninformed.

WARNING: DEPLOYED HARNESS SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A POWER
SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED.

THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY
DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A CONNECTING THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE
SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE LAST STEP IN THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE
ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.

10. Connect the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

deployment harness wires to the power source to
immediately deploy the air bag assembly.
Recommended application : 12 volts minimum, 2
amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL
SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL BE
VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO
COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION
OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED INFLATOR
MODULE NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY. AFTER AN AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEPLOYED, THE METAL
CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE AIR

Deployment Inside Vehicle (Vehicle
Scrapping Procedure)

Deployment inside vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to
be destroyed or salvaged for component parts. This
includes, but is not limited to, the following situations:

1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.
2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a

nondeployment type accident.

3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond

repair in a theft.

4. The vehicle will be salvaged for component parts to

be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) as opposed to being
rebuilt as same VIN. Never use SRS components
from another vehicle.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. UNDEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLIES MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF
THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS. THE
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS
OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED CONTAINER
IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL. DISPOSAL IN
ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER
PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL,
STATE AND/OR LOCAL LAWS.

1. Turn ignition switch to “LOCK,” remove key and put

on safety glasses.

2. Remove all loose objects from front seats.
3. Disconnect driver air bag assembly, yellow 2–pin

connector located at the base of the steering column.

4. Cut the driver air bag assembly yellow 2–pin harness

connector from the vehicle leaving at least 15 cm (six
inches) of wire at the connector.

5. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from yellow –

green and yellow – black wire lead of the connector.

6. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from 0.8

(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire. These

wires will be used to fabricate the driver deployment
harness.

7. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends of

the wires cut in the previous step.

8. Short the wires by twisting together one end from

each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is to
be deployed.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN
THE ORDER LISTED COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY. NEVER CONNECT DEPLOYMENT WIRES
TO ANY POWER SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING
DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
LEADS. DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND BE NOT CONNECTED TO A POWER
SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED.
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY
DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS
CONNECTED TO IT. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
