5. Stack the tire with the passenger-side air bag

module on top of two tires without wheels. Stack a
tire without a wheel on top of the tire with the
passenger-side air bag module, and then stack
another tire with a wheel on the very top.

6. Secure the tires with wire.

7. Connect the SSTs (Deployment tool) to the

SSTs (Adapter harness).

8. Connect both SSTs (Deployment tool) to the

battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the
positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the
negative battery terminal.

9. Verify that the red lamp on both SSTs

(Deployment tool) is illuminated.

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

{20 ft} away from the vehicle.

11. Press the activation switch on the SST

(Deployment tool) connected with 46 L066 002
(a yellow connector) of the SST (Adapter
harness), and after 3 s, press the activation
switch on the other SST (Deployment tool) to
operate (deploy) the air bag module (both
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.

12. Disconnect the SSTs (Deployment tool) from the SSTs (Adapter harness).

(See 08-10-8 SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2. Install the nuts to the side air bag module as

shown in the figure, and connect the SST
(Adapter harness).

3. Place the padded surface of the side air bag

module facing the center of the tire as shown in
the figure. To secure the air bag module to the tire
wheel, wrap a wire (cross section 1.25 mm

2

{0.002 in

2

} or more) through the tire and around

the bolts at least 4 times.

Warning

• If the air bag module is not properly

secured to the tire, the tires may fall over
by the impact of operation (deployment)
and cause serious injury. To prevent this,
secure the air bag module properly with
the padded surface facing the center of the tire.

4. Stack the tire with the side air bag module on top

of two tires without wheels. Stack a tire without a
wheel on top of the tire with the side air bag
