4. Remove the connection between the D-205 clock spring

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

6. Cut with a nipper, etc. the instrument panel wiring harness

shown in the Figure of the instructions, while the D-205
clock spring connector is disconnected.
NOTE: The disconnection location should be sufficiently
away from the D-205 harness connector with consideration
to the expansion harness connection location upon discon-
nections.

7. Individually connect a harness on the two harnesses

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

8. Connect the D-205 harness side connector connected with

an expansion harness to the D-205 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.

9. 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 Dis-
posal (Refer to

P.52B-248

) for post-deployment

handling instructions.

•

If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near
the module. Contact the MMNA Tech Line.

10.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.

11.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-248

).

.

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 disconnecting the bat-
tery cables before doing any further work (Refer to

P.52B-18

).

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 glove box (Refer to GROUP 52A, Instrument

Panel

P.52A-3

).

4. Remove the connect between the D-11 air bag module (front

passenger's side) connector (two-pin, red) and the harness
connector (two-pin, red).
NOTE: If the D-11 air bag module connector is disconnected
from the instrument panel wiring harness, 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. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover
the connections with insulation 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.

6. Connect the D-11 air bag module (front passenger's side)

connector (two-pin, red) to special tool MB686560 and move
the deployment wires 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.

completely close all door windows, close the doors and put

NOTE: If the air bag module connector is disconnected from
the floor wiring harness, both electrodes of the air bag mod-
ule connector will be automatically shorted to prevent unin-
tended deployment of the air bag due to static electricity, etc.

4. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover
