10B-52 AIR BAG SYSTEM
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air
bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module, or an object in front
of the air bag (inflator) module, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
•Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator) modules.
•If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with new
one as an assembly.
•When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to deploy it before
discarding it.
•When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on the air
bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), wipe it off
immediately with a dry cloth.
•If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height of 90
cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an
assembly. WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger). It is very dan-
gerous as the electric current from the tester may deploy
the air bag.
WARNING:
For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°
°° °C (150°
°° °F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE AND ACTI-
VATED SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
Refer to the procedure described under “DEPLOYED AIR BAG
(INFLATOR) MODULE AND ACTIVATED SEAT BELT PRETEN-
SIONER DISPOSAL” in this section for disposal. WARNING:
For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°
°° °C (150°
°° °F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
Never carry the seat belt pretensioner by the wire or
connector of the pretensioner.
When placing a live seat belt pretensioner on the work-
bench or other surface, be sure not to lay it with its
exhaust hole (1) provided side facing down. It is also
prohibited to put something on its face with an exhaust
hole (1) or to put a seat belt pretensioner on top of
another.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
WARNING:
The air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner
immediately after deployment/activation is very hot.
Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it off before pro-
ceeding the work.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module and to activate seat belt pretensioner.
After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water after com-
pleting the work.

5) Set air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as fol-
lows.
[In case of driver air bag (inflator) module]
a) Clear a space on the ground about 185 cm (6 ft) (3) in
diameter where the driver air bag (inflator) module (1) is to
be deployed. A paved, outdoor location where there is no
activity is preferred. If an outdoor location is not available, a
space on the shop floor where there is no activity and suffi-
cient ventilation is recommended.
Ensure no loose or flammable objects are within the
deployment area.
b) Place the driver air bag (inflator) module (1), with its vinyl
trim cover facing up (2), on the ground in the space just
cleared.
[In case of passenger air bag (inflator) module]
a) Clear a space on the ground about 185 cm (6 ft) (2) in
diameter where the fixture (special tool) with attached air
bag (inflator) module (1) is to be placed for deployment. A
paved outdoor location where there is no activity is pre-
ferred. If an outdoor location is not available, a space on the
shop floor where there is no activity and sufficient ventila-
tion is recommended. Ensure that no loose or flammable
objects are within the deployment area.
b) Place special tool (passenger air bag (inflator) module
deployment fixture) on the ground in the space cleared in
step a), if it has not already been placed there.
