}

or more) through the wheel and the bolt
installation holes of the air bag module at least 4
times.

(Deployment tool) is illuminated.

9. Verify that all persons are standing at least 6 m

{20 ft} away from the vehicle.

(a yellow connector) of the SST (Adapter
harness), and after 3 s, press the activation
switch on other SST (Deployment tool) to

inflators).

Warning

• Verify that air bag module operation

(explosive) sound occurs twice. If no
operation (explosive) sound was heard or
a single operation (explosive) sound was
heard, both inflators would not have
operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury if the air bag module operates
(deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again.
If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed
again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before approaching it again.

• The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can be burned. Do

not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.
