ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE
WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) AWAY
FROM BODY.
10B-58 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.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag (in-
flator) modules (driver and passenger). It is very dangerous
as the electric current from the tester may deploy the air
bag.
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 (undeployed)
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:
For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator) module,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65C
(150F), 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 mini-
mal 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.

Never attempt to disassemble the seat belt pretensioners (retrac-
tor assembly).
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 (inactivated)
seat belt pretensioner, be sure to activate it before discarding it.
When grease, cleaning agent oil, water, etc., got on the seat belt
pretensioners (retractor assembly), wipe it off immediately with a
dry cloth.
If seat belt pretensioner was dropped from a height of 30 cm (1
ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an assembly.
WARNING:
For handling and storage of a live seat belt pretensioner,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65C
(150F), without high humidity and away from electric
noise.
Never carry the seat belt pretensioner by the wires or con-
nector on the underside of the pretensioner.
When placing a live seat belt pretensioner on the work-
bench or some place like that, be sure not to lay it with its
exhaust hole provided side facing down. It is also prohib-
ited to put something on its face with an exhaust hole or
to put a seat belt pretensioner on top of another.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTORS
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is covered with a
yellow protection tube. Be very careful when handling it.
When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness,
connector or terminal is found, replace wire harness, connectors
and terminals as an assembly.
When installing it, be careful so that the air bag wire harness is not
caught or does not interfere with other parts.
Make sure all air bag system grounding points are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-metal con-
tact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are dif-
ficult to diagnose.
DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of the live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules
and the live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners. When disposal is
necessary, be sure to deploy the air bag according to deployment
procedure described under ªAir Bag (Inflator) Modules Disposalº
and to activate the pretensioner according to activation procedure
described under ªSeat Belt Pretensioners Disposalº.
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module and seat
belt pretensioner disposal procedures can result in air bag
deployment and pretensioner activation which could cause
personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) module and
inactivated seat belt pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and inactivated
seat belt pretensioner contain substances that can cause
severe illness or personal injury if the sealed container is
damaged during disposal.

REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
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 sensors and 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 ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT ± COMPONENT
REPLACEMENT
Certain air bag system components must be replaced. Those com-
ponents are:
Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
± Replace with new one.
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
± Replace with new one as an assembly.
SDM after detecting such collision as to meet deployment condi-
tions
± Replace with new one.
