AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-248

NOTE: The disconnection location should be
sufficiently away from the C-309 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 insulation tape
and then pull out the deployment wires outside the
vehicle.

9. Connect the C-309 harness side connector

connected with an expansion harness to the
C-309 clock spring connector.

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.

10.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 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.

11.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.

12.After deployment, dispose of the air bag module

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) <AIR
BAG MODULE (FRONT PASSENGER'S
SIDE)>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after the
disconnection of the battery cable before
any further job (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 glove box (Refer to GROUP 52A,

Instrument Panel

P.52A-2

).

4. Remove the connection between the C-108 air

bag module (front passenger's side) connector
(4-pin, yellow) and the harness side connector
(4-pin, yellow).
NOTE: If the C-108 air bag module connector is
disconnected, both electrodes of the air bag
module connector will be automatically shorted to
prevent unintended deployment of the air bag due
to static electricity, etc.

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

longer, as deployment wires. Then connect the
wires at one end to short.
NOTE: This prevents the air bag from
unintentional deployment caused by static
electricity, etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 6 in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.
6. Touch the vehicle’s body with your bare hands to

discharge static electricity.

7. Cut the instrument panel wiring harness (four-pin,

yellow) shown in the figure, while the C-108 air
bag module connector (four-pin) is disconnected.
NOTE: The disconnection location should be
sufficiently away from the C-108 harness side
connector with consideration to the expansion
harness connection location upon disconnection.

8. Individually connect a harness to the four

disconnected harnesses, cover the connection
areas with insulation tape, and then pull out the
expansion harness outside the vehicle.

9. Connect the C-108 harness side connector

connected with the expansion harness to the
C-108 air bag module connector.

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.

10.To suppress the operation sound as much as

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

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.

12.After deployment, dispose of the air bag module

according to the Deployed Air Bag Module and

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(WHEN DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE)
<SIDE AIR BAG MODULE>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

The side air bag modules for both the
driver's side and passenger's side should be
deployed.

3. Remove the connection between the D-22 or

D-29 side air bag module connector (2-pin, red)
and the harness side connector (2-pin, red).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the side air bag
wiring harness, both electrode of the side air bag
module connector short automatically. This
prevents the side air bag from accidental
deployment caused by static etc.

4. 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.
