HANDLING AND STORAGE
SDM
Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
When storing SDM, select a place where neither high tem-
perature nor high humidity is anticipated and oil, water and
dust are kept off.
If SDM has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that part
completely before reinstallation.
All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully
torqued and the arrow must be pointed toward the front of
the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
WARNING:
Never power up air bag system when SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. Otherwise, personal injury may
result.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet
deployment conditions, the SDM must not be used. Refer
to “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” when
checking the SDM.
AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-53
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT/ACTIVA-
TION - COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The following components must be replaced.
Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
SDM
–Replace with new one as an assembly.
ACCIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT DEPLOY-
MENT/ACTIVATION - COMPONENT INSPEC-
TIONS
Certain air bag system components must be inspected after any
crash, whether the air bag system activated or not.
Those components are :
Steering column (1) and shaft joints
–Check for length, damage and bend according to “CHECK-
ING STEERING COLUMN FOR ACCIDENT DAMAGE” in
SECTION 3C.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Steering column bracket (2) and capsules (3)
–Check for damage and bent.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part. CAUTION:
All air bag system components, including the electrical harness (component mounting points),
must be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be
replaced even if air bag system activation did not occur.
Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.
Do not attempt to service the parts below. Service of these parts is by replacement only.
–Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) module, Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioner
–SDM
–Contact coil and combination switch assembly
–Air bag wire harness
Proper operation of the air bag system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return it to
its original production configuration.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deployment conditions, the SDM must not be
used. Refer to “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” when checking the SDM.
10B-54 AIR BAG SYSTEM
Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module
–Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
–Check trim cover (pad surface) for cracks.
–Check wire harness and connector for damage or tight-
ness.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Contact coil and combination switch assembly
–Check wire harness and connectors for damage or tight-
ness.
–Check contact coil case for damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
SDM and SDM plate
–Check for external damage such as deformation, scratch,
crack, peeled paint, etc.
–Check that SDM cannot be installed properly due to a
cause in itself. (There is a gap between SDM and SDM
plate, or it cannot be fixed securely.)
–Check that connector or lead wire of SDM has a scorching,
melting or damage.
–Check SDM connector and terminals for tightness.
–Check SDM sets a diagnostic trouble code (Refer to “DTC
CHECK”.) and the diagnostic table leads to a malfunction-
ing SDM.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Instrument panel member and reinforcement
–Check for any distortion, bending, cracking or other dam-
age.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Passenger air bag (inflator) module
–Check for dents, cracks, damage or fitness.
–Check trim cover for cracks or deformities.
–Check harness and connector for damage or tightness.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.

DEPLOYMENT/ACTIVATION INSIDE VEHICLE
Use this procedure when scrapping the entire vehicle including
the air bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners.
1) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” position, remove key and put
on safety glasses.
2) Remove all loose objects from front seats and instrument
panel.
3) [For driver air bag (inflator) module]
Disconnect contact coil connector (1) located near the base
of the steering column.
[For passenger air bag (inflator) module]
Remove glove box from instrument panel and disconnect
passenger air bag (inflator) module connector (2).
[For seat belt pretensioner]
Remove both side (driver and passenger side) center pillar
lower trim and disconnect seat belt pretensioner connectors
(3).
4) Confirm that each air bag (inflator) module is securely
mounted.
5) Check that there is no open, short or damage in special tool
(deployment harness). If any faulty condition is found, do not
use it and be sure to use new deployment harness.
Special tool
(A) : 09932-75030
6) Short (1) the two deployment harness leads together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.
7) Connect deployment harness connector to air bag (inflator)
module (driver or passenger) or seat belt pretensioner
(driver or passenger) and lock connector with lock lever.
a) Connect connector.
b) Lock connector with lock lever.CAUTION:
When vehicle itself will be used again, deploy/activate
the air bag and pretensioner outside vehicle according to
“DEPLOYMENT/ACTIVATION OUTSIDE VEHICLE”, for
deploying/activating it inside will cause the instrument
panel, glove box and their vicinity to be deformed.
Failure to observe this CAUTION may require unneeded
vehicle inspection and repair.
