Damaged Airbag or Tensioner Special Proce-
dure.
If an airbag or tensioner cannot be
deployed or triggered, it should not be treated as
normal scrap; it should still be considered a poten-
tially explosive device that can cause serious
injury.
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal proce-
dures in this section.
2. Intertwine the stripped ends of the two airbag or ten-
sioner wires to make a short circuit.
3. Package the airbag or tensioner in exactly the same
packaging that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
(or TENSIONER) NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not
get confused with your parts stock. If applicable,
also note on the box the VIN of the vehicle from
which it was removed.
5. Contact your Acura District Technical Manager for
how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Check Procedure.
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector
handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery.
