Suzuki Grand Vitara JB627. Manual — part 324

8B-122 Air Bag System:

WARNING

• Do not place deployed air bag (inflator)

module and activated seat belt
pretensioners near any flammable objects.

• Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air

bag (inflator) module and activated seat
belt pretensioners.

• Wait for about 30 minutes before touching

any metal surface of air bag (inflater)
module or seat belt pretensioner modules.
Disregarding these precautions may cause
fire or personal injury.

Failure to follow procedures may result in fire
or personal injury.

14) Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment

harness (2).

15) Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle

battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate
air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.

16) Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts

vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana
plug into the other.

17) Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air

bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners
which has not been deployed / activated, if any.

18) In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module

and seat belt pretensioners after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24)
through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with
Steps 19) through 23).

19) Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean

off any fragments or discard it entirely.

20) Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from

possible irritation and heat when handling deployed
air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt
pretensioners.

21) Disconnect adapter cable (special tool) from air bag

(inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as soon as
possible. This will prevent adapter cable (special
tool) from damage due to possible contact with hot
air bag (inflator) module or hot seat belt
pretensioner.

22) Check adapter cable connector as follows.

Adapter cable connector (special tool) is designed to
be reused. However it should be inspected for
damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.

23) With air bag (inflator) modules deployed and seat

belt pretensioners activated, vehicle may be
scrapped in the same manner as non-air bag system
/ seat belt pretensioner equipped vehicle.

NOTE
Remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module
did not deploy or seat belt pretensioner did
not activate.

24) Remove undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and/

or inactivated seat belt pretensioner(s) from vehicle.
For driver air bag (inflator) module, refer to “Driver
Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation”.
For passenger air bag (inflator) module, refer to
“Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation”. For side air bag (inflator) module, refer
to “Side-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation”. For side curtain-air bag (inflator)
module, “Side Curtain-Air Bag (Inflator) Module
Removal and Installation”. For seat belt
pretensioner, refer to “Front Seat Belt Removal and
Installation in Section 8A”.

25) Temporarily store undeployed air bag (inflator)

module referring to “Precautions on Service and
Diagnosis of Air Bag System” for details.

26) Contact your local distributor for further assistance.

Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and
Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal

S6JB0B8206018

WARNING

Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment
and pretensioner activation which may cause
personal injury. The undeployed air bag
(inflator) module and the inactivated seat belt
pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and
the inactivated seat belt pretensioner
contains substances that can cause severe
illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal.

I5JB0A820106-01

Air Bag System: 8B-123

Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat
belt pretensioner can be disposed of through normal
refuse channels just like any other parts. For their
disposal, however, the following points should be noted.
• The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt

pretensioner immediately after deployment / activation
is very hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before
handling it.

• Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag

(inflator) module and the activated seat belt
pretensioner to cool it off and be careful so that water,
oil etc. does not get on the deployed air bag (inflator)
module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.

• After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,

the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-
products of the chemical reaction. As with many
service procedures, you should wear gloves and
safety glasses.

• When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator)

module and the activated seat belt pretensioner, be
sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.

• When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt

pretensioner have been deployed / activated inside
the vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them
as installed to the vehicle.

• Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water

after handling them.

Special Tools and Equipment

Use of Special Tools

S6JB0B8208001

WARNING

To avoid deployment when troubleshooting
the air bag system, do not use electrical test
equipment such as a battery powered or AC
powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any
type of electrical equipment other than that
specified. Do not use a non-powered probe
type tester.
Instructions must be followed carefully,
otherwise personal injury may result.

You should be familiar with the tools listed under the
heading “Special Tool”. You should be able to measure
voltage and resistance. You should be familiar with
proper use of a scan tool such as Air Bag Driver /
Passenger Load Tool, Connector Test Adapter Kit and
the Digital Multimeter.

Special tool
(A): 09932–76010 (Connector Test Adapter Kit)

This must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure
requests checking or probing a terminal.
Using the appropriate adapter in the special tool will
ensure that no damage to the terminal will occur from the
multimeter probe, such as spreading or bending.

The adapter (1) will also give an idea of whether or not
contact tension is sufficient, helping to find an open or
intermittent open due to poor terminal contact. An SDM
short bar release tool (2) is included in the connector test
adapter kit. Inserting it into the SDM connector (3) will
releases the shorting bar.

Special tool
(B): 09932–75010 (Air bag driver / passenger load
tool)

This tool is used as a diagnostic aid and safety device to
prevent inadvertent air bag (inflator) module deployment.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case
which are electrically functional and serve as resistive
load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (“STEERING WHEEL”) is used to
substitute the load of the followings.
• Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at

the top of the column to the contact coil assembly.

• Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is

connected to the air bag harness connector in
instrument panel harness for passenger air bag
(inflator) module.

• Each of driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners

when it is connected to air bag harness connector in
instrument panel harness for driver and passenger
seat belt pretensioners.

• Side-air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to

the floor harness connector for side-air bag (inflator)
module.

• Side curtain-air bag (inflator) module when it is

connected to the floor harness connector for side
curtain-air bag (inflator) module.

I5JB0A820107-01

I5JB0A820108-01

Air Bag System: 8B-125

Another connector (“BASE OF COLUMN”) is used to
substitute the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module
and the contact coil assembly when it is connected at the
base of the column to the air bag wire harness.
The third connector (“PASSENGER INFLATOR”) is not
used.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when
called for, a determination can be made as to whether an
inflator circuit component is causing system malfunction
and which component is causing the malfunction.
The load tool should be used only when specifically
called for in the diagnostic procedures.
