(1) Terminal Twin–Lock Mechanism
Each connector has a two–piece component con-
sisting of a housing and a spacer. This design en-
ables the terminal to be locked securely by two lock-
ing devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent
terminals from coming out.
(2) Airbag Activation Prevention Mechanism
Each connector contains a short spring plate. When
the connector is disconnected, the short spring
plate automatically connects positive (+) terminal
and negative (–) terminal of the squib.
HINT:
The type of connector is shown in the diagram on the previous
page.
(3) Electrical Connection Check Mechanism
This mechanism electrically checks that connectors
are connected correctly and completely. The electri-
cal connection check mechanism is designed so
that the disconnection detection pin connects with
the diagnosis terminals when the connector hous-
ing lock is locked.

8. CONNECTION OF SIDE AND CURTAIN SHIELD AIR-
BAG SENSOR CONNECTOR
(a) Align the male connector (of the side of sensor) and fe-
male connector in the same direction as shown in the il-
lustration and fit in them without rubbing.
(b) As they are fitted in, the outer slides rearward. Press it un-
til the outer returns to its original position again.
If fitting stops half way, connectors will separate.
(c) Make sure to insert until they are locked. After fitting in,
pull them slightly to check that they are locked. (When
locked, make sure that the outer returns to its original
position and sound at the time of fitting in can be heard.)
HINT:
Do not fit in while holding the outer.
When fitting in, the outer slides. Do not touch it.

SHIELD AIRBAG CONNECTOR
(a) Place a finger on the slider.
(b) Slide the slider to release lock.
(c) Disconnect the connector.
10. CONNECTION OF SIDE AIRBAG AND CURTAIN
SHIELD AIRBAG CONNECTOR
(a) Align a lock part of male connector and a slider of female
connector in the same direction as shown in the illustra-
tion, fit in them without rubbing.
(b) Make sure to insert until they are locked. After fitting in pull
them slightly to check that they are locked. (When locked,
make sure that the outer returns to its original position and
sound at the time of fitting in can be heard.)
HINT:
As the slider slides, do not touch it.
Be careful not to deform the release board. If the release
board is deformed, replace it with a new one.

HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check functioning of the SST. (See Pub. No. RM599E on
page RS–17)
SST 09082–00700
(b) Disconnect the side airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the 2 SST connector to the airbag connec-
tor.
SST 09082–00700, 09082–00750
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(–) terminal.
(d) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of SST activa-
tion switch lights up.

(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(–) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the tire which the side airbag assembly is tied to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
(h) Dispose of the side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag
is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes
after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a side
airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
Do not apply water etc. to a side airbag assembly with
the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
(1) Remove the side airbag assembly from the tire.
(2) Place the side airbag assembly in a vinyl bag, tie the
end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as oth-
er general parts disposal.
