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) front pillar
lower trim and disconnect seat belt pretensioner connectors
(3).
4) Confirm that each air bag (inflator) module is securely
mounted. 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.

14) Separate the two banana plugs on the deployment harness.
15) Connect (1) the deployment harness to the power source (12
V vehicle battery) (2) to immediately deploy/activate the air
bag or the pretensioner.
16) Disconnect the deployment harness from the power source
(12 V vehicle battery) (2) and short (4) the two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into
the other.
17) Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from pos-
sible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag
(inflator) module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.
18) Disconnect the deployment harness from the air bag (infla-
tor) module and the seat belt pretensioner as soon after
deployment/activation as possible.
This will prevent damage to the deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot air bag (inflator) module and
seat belt pretensioner. The deployment harness are
designed to be reused. They should, however, be inspected
for damage after each deployment/activation and replaced it
if necessary.
19) Carefully remove drop cloth (3) from vehicle and clean off
any fragments or discard it entirely.
20) Repeat Steps 2) through 19) to deploy/activate air bag (infla-
tor) modules and seat belt pretensioners which has not been
deployed/activated, if any.
21) In the unlikely event that the air bag (inflator) module and the
seat belt pretensioner proceed immediately with Steps 23)
through 25). If the air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt
pretensioner did deploy/activate, proceed with Steps 22).
22) With air bags deployed and pretensioners activated the vehi-
cle may be scrapped in the same manner as a non-air bag
system equipped vehicle.
23) Remove the undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and the
inactivated seat belt pretensioner(s) from the vehicle. For
driver air bag (inflator) module refer to SECTION 3C1, for
passenger air bag (inflator) module refer to “ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, for seat belt pretensioner refer to SECTION 10A.
24) [For air bag (inflator) module]
Temporarily store the air bag (inflator) module with its vinyl
trim cover facing up, away from the surface upon which it
rests. Refer to “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” for details.
[For seat belt pretensioner]
When temporarily strong the seat belt pretensioner, be sure
NOT to face its exhaust hole provided side down. It must
face up. Refer to “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” for details.
25) Contact your local distributor for further assistance.
