AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER

DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

M1524001200473

Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped with an air bag, follow the procedures below to deploy
the air bag.

UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL

Required Special Tools:

• MB686560: SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness

• MB991885: Pre-tensioner Adapter Harness (For pre-ten-

sioner)

AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-388

WARNING

•

If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise dis-
posed of, deploy the air bags and operate the seat
belt pre-tensioners inside the vehicle. If the vehicle
will continue to be used and only the air bag mod-
ules and seat belt pre-tensioner are to be disposed
of, deploy the air bags and operate the seat belt
pre-tensioners outside the vehicle.

•

Since a large amount of smoke is produced when
the air bag is deployed and the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner is operated, avoid residential areas when-
ever possible.

•

Since there is a loud noise when the air bags are
deployed and when the seat belt pre-tensioners
are operated, avoid residential areas whenever
possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the
impending noise.

•

Suitable ear protection should be worn by person-
nel performing these procedures or by people in
the immediate area.

.

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

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

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

P.52B-26

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain 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 column cover lower (Refer to GROUP 52A,

Instrument Panel

P.52A-3

).

4. Remove the connection between the C-307 clock spring

connector (four-pin) and the harness side connector
(four-pin, yellow).

NOTE: If the clock spring connector is disconnected from
the instrument panel wiring harness, both electrodes of the
clock spring connector will be automatically shorted to pre-
vent unintended deployment of the air bag due to static elec-
tricity, etc.

5. Obtain two suitable wires, which are 6 meters (20 feet) or

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

NOTE: This prevents the air bag from unintentional deploy-
ment 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-307 clock spring connector
(four-pin) is disconnected.

NOTE: The disconnection location should be sufficiently
away from the C-307 harness side connector with consider-
ation 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-307 harness side connector connected with

the expansion harness to the C-307 clock spring connector.

WARNING

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

10.To suppress the sound as much as possible, completely

close all door windows, close the doors and put a 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 Dis-
posal (Refer to

P.52B-403

) for post-deployment

handling instructions.

•

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

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

P.52B-403

).
