cables before doing any further work (Refer to P.52B-28).

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

2.

4.

Slide the outer housing of passenger’s (front) air bag module
connector in the arrow direction shown, and disconnect the
connector.

NOTE:

When the passenger's (front) air bag module

connector is disconnected from the instrument panel
wiring harness side connector, the four pins of inflator
connector are automatically shorted. This prevents the
unintentional deployment of front passenger's air bags
caused by the static or others.

5.

Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer,
to the two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB9921020), and cover the connections with insulator tape.
The other ends of the deployment wires should be connected
to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected
deployment of the air bag module.

NOTE:

This prevents the unintentional deployment of

passenger's (front) air bags caused by the static or
others.

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.

7.

To suppress the operation sound as much as possible,
completely close all door windows, close the doors and put a
cover on the vehicle.

｠

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 P.52B-371) for post-
deployment handling instructions.

｠

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

8.

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.

9.

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-371).

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN DISPOSING
OF A VEHICLE) <SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE>

1.

Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cables before doing any further work (Refer to P.52B-28).

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

2.

Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

Disconnect the connections of the side-airbag module
connector (two-pin: yellow) and the floor harness side
connector (two-pin: yellow).

Make sure to deploy both driver's and front passenger's
side air bags.

NOTE:

When the side-airbag module connector is

disconnected from the floor wiring harness side
connector, the two pins of side air bag module connector
are automatically shorted. This prevents the
unintentional deployment of side-airbags caused by the
static or others.

4.

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 bags from unintentional

deployment caused by static electricity, etc.

Never fail to do Step 5 in order to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static.

5.

Touch the vehicle body with bare hands to release the charged
static.
