component. Failure to do this may result in accidental air
bag deployment and possible personal injury. Refer to
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
* For about 60 seconds after air bag system is disabled, it
retains enough voltage to deploy air bags. After disabling
system, wait at least 60 seconds before servicing.
* After servicing, always turn ignition on from passenger-side
of vehicle in case of accidental air bag deployment.
* After servicing, check SRS warning light to verify system
operation. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
* Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an
air bag.
* The SRS-ECU must be stored in its original special container
until used for service. It must be stored in a clean, dry
place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high
electrical energy.
* DO NOT expose air bag module and clockspring to temperatures
greater than 200
F (93C).
* When placing a live air bag module on a bench or other
surface, always face air bag module and trim cover up, away
from surface. This will reduce motion of module if air bag
accidentally deploys.
* After air bag deploys, air bag surface may contain deposits
of sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear
safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during
clean-up. Wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow
correct clean-up and disposal procedures. Refer to
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES .
* Because of critical system operating requirements, DO NOT
service any SRS components. Repairs are only made by
replacing defective part(s).
* DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on the back
of air bag module.
* When carrying a live (undeployed) air bag module, trim cover
must be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of
accidental air bag deployment.
* DO NOT probe wire harness connector terminals. Instead, use
SRS Check Harness (MB991530).
* DO NOT probe a wire through insulator, as this will damage
it and eventually cause failure due to corrosion.
* When performing electrical tests, prevent accidental
shorting of terminals. Such shorts can damage fuses or
components and may cause a second fault code to set, making
diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
* Never use an analog volt/ohm meter or test light in place of
a Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM). Use only a DVOM with a
maximum test current of 2 mA (milliamps) at minimum range of
resistance measurement. Also see SPECIAL TOOLS.
* If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive
vehicle until system is repaired and is fully functional. DO
NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or
in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is
not functional, park vehicle until repairs are made.
SPECIAL TOOLS
To avoid air bag deployment when working on SRS, DO NOT use
electrical test equipment such as test lights, battery or A/C-powered
volt/ohmmeter, or any type of electrical equipment other than those
specified by manufacturer. See SRS RECOMMENDED TOOLS table.

DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM
WARNING: SRS system voltage is maintained for about 60 seconds after
battery cable is disconnected. After disconnecting battery
cable, wait at least 60 seconds before servicing SRS.
Failure to wait may cause accidental air bag deployment and
possible personal injury.
To disable system, turn ignition switch to LOCK position.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Shield cable end. Wait at least 60
seconds before servicing. To activate system, reconnect negative
battery cable.
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
WARNING: Undeployed air bag must be deployed before disposal.
Disposing of an undeployed air bag may violate federal,
state and/or local laws. This also applies to vehicles that
are to be scrapped. Never sell a used air bag module.
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG
WARNING: Deploy air bag outdoors and away from people. Air bag
deployment makes a loud noise. NEVER deploy air bag module
with trim cover face down.
NOTE: If replacing a deployed air bag, both front impact sensors
and SRS-ECU must also be replaced. If vehicle is to be
scrapped, perform PROCEDURE 1 (ON-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT) below.
If vehicle will continue to be operated, perform PROCEDURE 2
(OFF-VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT) below.
Procedure 1 (On-Vehicle Deployment)
1) Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . Open all doors and windows. Move vehicle to an
isolated area. Disconnect negative battery cable and wrap tape around
cable terminal.
2) Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery. Wait at

least 60 seconds before continuing. Remove steering column lower
cover. Disconnect clockspring 2-pin Red connector.
3) Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connec\
t
wires at one end of this harness to SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "A"
(MB686560). Wrap connections with insulating tape. See Fig. 2.
4) Temporarily connect other end of harness wires together to
prevent unexpected air bag deployment. Connect SRS air bag adapter
harness "A" to clockspring 2-pin Red connector. Run 20-foot wires
outside of vehicle as far away as possible from vehicle.
5) Ensure there are no loose parts in passenger compartment
and no one is within 20 feet of vehicle.
6) Deploy air bag by connecting ends of 20-foot wires to
terminals of a 12-volt battery. If air bags fail to deploy, go to
PROCEDURE 2 below. After deployment, allow air bag modules to cool and
dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching vehicle.

Procedure 2 (Off-Vehicle Deployment)
1) Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect
negative battery cable. Shield cable end. Disconnect positive battery
cable. Remove battery. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
2) Remove air bag module. Place air bag module on ground at
least 20 feet away from people or objects. Air bag module face (trim
cover) must face upward to prevent movement of air bag module when it
is deployed.
3) Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connec\
t
wires at one end of this harness to stripped wires of SRS Air Bag
Adapter Harness "B" (MB628919) for driver-side air bag, or SRS Air Bag\
Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560) for passenger-side air bag. See Fig. 2.
4) Wrap connections with insulating tape. Temporarily connect
other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag
deployment. Connect appropriate adapter harness to air bag module
connector. Place a tire without a rim over the air bag module so rim
hole surrounds air bag module. Stack 3 more tires on top of first
tire. Connect ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery.
5) After air bag module deploys, let it cool off and allow
dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching. Tightly
seal deployed air bag module in a strong vinyl bag and dispose of air
bag as you would any other part.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG CLEAN-UP
WARNING: Vehicle interior will contain sodium hydroxide powder, a
by-product of air bag deployment. Since this powder can
irritate skin, eyes, nose and throat, wear safety glasses,
rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up.
1) Avoid breathing powder from air bag deployment. Begin
clean-up by putting tape over air bag exhaust vent to prevent
additional powder from escaping into vehicle interior. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any residual powder from A/C-heater outlets and
vehicle interior.
2) Turn blower motor to low for a few minutes and exit
vehicle. Turn blower motor off. Vacuum any other powder expelled from
plenum. Vacuum interior a second time to recover all powder. Avoid
kneeling or sitting on unclean areas. Wrap deployed air bag in heavy
vinyl plastic and dispose of it as you would any other part.
