When discarding the air bag modules
or a vehicle with SRS air bags, be sure to deploy
the air bags in advance as specified in the service
procedure that follows.
|
|
1.Move the vehicle to flat
and isolated spot.
|
|
2.
caution |
Disconnect the battery cable
connection, and wait for
60 seconds or more before starting the
work.
|
Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of
battery cable, and then remove
the battery from the vehicle.
|
|
3.Remove the Steering column
lower cover (Refer to GROUP 37 -
Steering column
shaft assembly ).
|
|
4.Remove the connection
between the clock spring connector (4-pin) and the harness
side
connector (4-pin).
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.
|
|
|
5.Obtain two suitable wires,
which are 6 m or longer, as deployment wires. Then connect
the wires at one end to short. 6.Touch the
vehicle’s body with bare hands to discharge static in
you.
|
|
7.Cut with a pliers, etc.
the instrument panel wiring harness shown in the figure of
the
instructions, while the clock spring connector is
disconnected.
note |
The disconnection location
should be sufficiently away from the harness
side connector
with consideration to the expansion harness
connection location upon
disconnections.
|
8.Connect the deployment wires on the two
instrument panel wiring harnesses disconnected,
cover the connection areas with insulator tape and then pull
out the deployment wires outside
the vehicle. 9.Connect the harness side connector
connected with an expansion harness to the clock
spring connector.
|
|
10.
warning |
If the glass is scratched, the
glass may be shattered at deployment. Therefore,
cover
with a vehicle cover to avoid danger.
|
In order to suppress the operation sound as much as
possible, fully close all the door
windows, close the doors, and then cover the vehicle with a
vehicle cover. 11.
caution |
- Make sure that no one
is present inside or near the vehicle
before deploying the air bag.
- Immediately after the air bag
deployment, the inflator is extremely
hot. Thus, before
handling, leave the inflator for 30
minutes or more to cool.
- If the air bag module does not deploy,
consult with your distributor.
|
Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a place
as far as possible from the vehicle.
Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle battery to
deploy the air bag module. 12.Discard the deployed
air bag module according to the disposal procedures (Refer
to
).

and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.
|
|
3.Remove the
passenger’s (front) air bag module from the vehicle
(Refer to ).
|
|
4.Use the flat-tipped
screwdriver to pull out the locking button of floor harness
connector.
After releasing the lock, disconnect the
connector.
note |
When the passenger’s
(front) air bag module connector is disconnected
from the
inflator, the two pins of inflator connector are
automatically shorted. This prevents the
unintentional
deployment of passenger’s (front) air bags
caused by the static or others.
|
|
|
5.Connect the deployment
wires of 6 m or more to each of the two wiring harnesses of
special
tool adapter harness (MB991885), and cover the connection
areas with insulation tape. Keep the
other ends of deployment wires connected to each other
(shorted).
note |
This prevents the
unintentional activation of inflator caused by
the static or others.
|
6.Connect the adapter harness to the
passenger’s (front) air bag module.
|
|
7.Connect the adapter
harness to the passenger’s (front) air bag module, and
then
pull out the deployment wire to outside the
vehicle.
|
|
8.
warning |

module (Refer to ).
|
|
4.Use the flat-tipped
screwdriver to pull out the locking button of harness side
connector.
After releasing the lock, disconnect the
connector.
note |
When the harness side
connector is disconnected from the inflator, the
two pins of inflator
connector are automatically shorted. This
prevents the unintentional deployment of knee
air
bag caused by the static or others.
|
|
|
5.Connect the deployment

unintentional
deployment of side-airbags caused by the static
or others.
|
|
|
4.Prepare two deployment
wires of 6 m or more, and keep the terminal at one end
connected
to that of the other wire (shorted).
note |
This prevents the air bags
from unintentional deployment caused by
static.
