INSPECTION
1. VEHICLE NOT INVOLVED IN COLLISION
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check (see page DI±1147).
(b) With the curtain shield airbag assembly installed on the
vehicle, perform a visual check. If there are any defects
as mentioned below, replace the front pillar garnish or roof
headlining assy with a new one:
Cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration on the front
pillar garnish or roof headlining assy around the curtain
shield airbag assembly.
2. VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND AIRBAG IS
NOT DEPLOYED
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check (see page DI±1147).
(b) With the curtain shield airbag assembly removed from the
vehicle, perform a visual check. If there are any defects
as mentioned below, replace the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly with a new one:

Cuts, tears and cracks, or marked discoloration on
the curtain shield airbag assembly.

Cracks or other damage to connector.
CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the curtain shield airbag as-
sembly, see page RS±71 and RS±80. Be sure to follow the
correct procedure.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
(a) Check the function of the SST (see step 1±(a) on page
RS±23).
SST 09082±00700
(b) Precaution (see page RS±1 and RS±3).
(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
Wait for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to prevent the
airbag working.
(d) Remove the roof headlining (see page BO±101).
(e) Disconnect the curtain shield airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, be careful not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(f) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connectors of the SST to the curtain
shield airbag assembly.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00802 (09082±10801,
09082±20801)
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 ve-
hicle rear side window.
(3) Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire har-
ness in the rear side window, close all doors and
windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the
negative (±) terminal.

(g) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a
10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:

When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is
near the vehicle.

The curtain shield airbag assembly becomes ex-
tremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not
touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a cur-
tain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag as-
sembly with a deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
HINT:
The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch
comes on.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF CURTAIN
SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:

When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assem-
bly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the
airbag.

Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of the SST (see step 1±(a) on page
RS±23).
(b) Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly (see page
RS±97).

When removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the nega-
tive (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the bat-
tery.

When storing the front passenger airbag assembly,
keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
