4. Disconnect the 2-pin connector (red) of rear floor

wiring harness with the floor wiring harness
connector (2-pin

− red).

NOTE: When removing the connector of curtain
air bag module wiring harness from the floor
harness, the two pins of it are automatically
shorted out. This prevents the air bags from
unintentional deployment caused by static.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560)
and insulate the connections with plastic tape.
Also, connect the deployment wires in the other
ends to short, thereby preventing the passenger's
air bag from accidental deployment caused by
static etc.

6. Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness to the

rear floor wiring harness connector (2-pin

− red),

and pull out the expansion harness outside the
vehicle.

7. Remove the headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A,

Headlining

P.52A-17

).

8. Execute the following steps to disconnect the

connection between G-01 or G-04 curtain air bag
module connector (2-pin) and harness side
connector (2-pin, black).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the roof wiring
harness, both electrode of the curtain air bag
module connector short automatically. This
prevents the curtain air bag module from
accidental deployment caused by static etc.
(1) Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out

forward and unlock the locking button of the
harness-side connector (2-pin, black).

(2) Disconnect the G-01 or G-04 harness side

connector.

9. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.

10.Connect the G-01 or G-04 curtain air bag module

2-pin connector to special tool SRS air bag
adapter harness (MB991885) and move the
deployment harness out of the vehicle.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment
could cause it to crack and fly out of the
vehicle, so always put a cover over the
vehicle.

11.To suppress the operation sound as much as

possible completely close all door windows, close
the doors and put the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Before deploying the air bag in this
manner, first check to be sure that there is
no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety
glasses.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although not
poisonous, do not inhale gas from the air
bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag
Module and Operated Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ) for
post-deployment handling instructions.

•

If the air bag module fails to deploy, do
not go near the module. Contact your
distributor.

12.At a location as far away from the vehicle as

possible, disconnect the two connected wires
from each other, and connect them to the two
terminals of the battery (which has been removed
from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.

13.After deployment, dispose of the curtain air bag

module assembly according to the Deployed Air
Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ).

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(WHEN DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE)
<SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to

P.52B-7

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

3. Remove the centre pillar lower trim (Refer to

GROUP 52A, Trim

P.52A-10

).

4. Execute the following steps to disconnect the

connection between D-19 or D-32 seat belt
pre-tensioner connector (2-pin) and harness side
connector (2-pin, black).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the seat belt
pre-tensioner wiring harness, both electrode of
the side air bag module connector short
automatically. This prevents the seat belt
pre-tensioner from accidental deployment caused
by static etc.
(1) Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out

forward and unlock the locking button of the
harness-side connector (2-pin, black).

(2) Disconnect the D-19 or D-32 harness side

connector.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.

6. Connect the D-19 or D-32 seat belt pre-tensioner

2-pin connector (red) to special tool SRS air bag
adapter harness (MB991885) and move the
deployment harness out of the vehicle.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, seat belt
pre-tensioner operation could cause it to
crack and fly out of the vehicle, so always
put a cover over the vehicle.

7. To suppress the operation sound as much as

possible completely close all door windows, close
the doors and put the cover on the vehicle.

WARNING

•

Before operating the seat belt
pre-tensioner in this manner, first check
to be sure that there is no one in or near
the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the operation, so wait at least 30
minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although no
poisonous, do not inhale gas from the
seat belt pre-tensioner operation. See
Deployed Air Bag and Operated Seat Belt
pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ) for
post-operation handling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to
operate, do not go near the seat belt
pre-tensioner. Contact your distributor.

8. At a location as far away from the vehicle as

possible, disconnect the two connected wires
from each the, and connect them to the two
terminals of the battery (which has been removed
from the vehicle) to operating the seat belt
pre-tensioner.

9. After operation, dispose of the seat belt

pre-tensioner according to the Deployed Air Bag
Module operated seat belt pre-tensioner Disposal
(Refer to ).

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
<AIR BAG MODULE (DRIVER'S SIDE)>

WARNING

•

This should be carried out in a wide, flat
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and
other people.

•

Do not deploy outside if wind is high.
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of
the air bag modules.

•

Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to

P.52B-7

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the
driver’s air bag module connector short
automatically to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static etc. Still, in
consideration of the accidental deployment,
store the air bag module on flat place with
deployment surface facing up. Also, do not
put anything on it.

2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle

(Refer to

P.52B-225

).

3. Obtain two suitable wires, which are 6 meters or

longer, as deployment wires. Then connect the
wires at one end to short.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 4 in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.
4. Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to

discharge static in you.

CAUTION

In case of the dual inflator type's air bag module,
be sure to deploy the both two air bags at the
same time. Because another air bag may be
deployed suddenly when deploying the one air
bag.
5. Using pliers, cut the driver’s air bag module

connector from the harnesses. Connect the
deployment wires to each harness that has been
cut and insulate the connections with plastic tape.
