AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-243

WARNING

•

Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that
no one is nearby.

•

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
air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module
and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal
(Refer to

P.52B-248

) for post-deployment handling

instructions.

•

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

9. At a location as far away from the air bag module as

possible, and from a shielded position, 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.

10.Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in

Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to

P.52B-248

).

.

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

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
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.

•

Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6
meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other
people.

•

Do not perform deployment outside if a strong
wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place
the air bag module downwind from the battery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables

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

CAUTION

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the front passen-
ger’s air bag module connector short automatically to pre-
vent 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-217

).

3. Connect two 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 two
wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to
prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag
module.

4. Connect the deployment wires to special tool MB686560,

pass it beneath the tire and wheel assembly, and connect it
to the air bag module.

CAUTION

• The adapter harness below the wheel should be loose.

If it is too tight, the reaction when the air bag deploys
could damage the adapter harness.

• During deployment, the connector of special tool

MB686560 must not be between the tires.

5. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module mounting

hole, and then secure the air bag module to an old tire with a
wheel in it so that the pad on the module is facing upwards.

6. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire

secured to the air bag module, and secure all tires together
with ropes (four locations).
