1) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº, remove key and put on safety
glasses.
2) Check that there is no open, short or damage in special tool (de-
ployment harness). If any faulty is found, do not use it and be
sure to use new deployment harness.
Special Tool
(A): 09932-75030
3) Short the two deployment harness leads together by fully seat-
ing one banana plug into the other.
WARNING:
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be
connected to a power source until the air bag is to be
deployed.
Special Tool
(A): 09932-75030
4) Remove driver or passenger air bag (inflator) module from ve-
hicle, referring to SECTION 3C1 or 10B.
WARNING:

Always carry live air bag (inflator) module with trim cov-
er away from you.

When storing a live air bag (inflator) module or when
leaving a live air bag (inflator) module unattended on a
bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim
cover up and away from the surface. As the live passen-
ger air bag (inflator) module must be placed with its bag
(trim cover) facing up, place it on the workbench with
a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it securely at its
lower mounting bracket.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to al-
low the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of acci-
dental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal inju-
ry.
5) Temporarily place driver or passenger air bag (inflator) module
on the workbench or the vise according to above WARNING.

ii) Clear a space on the ground about 185 cm (6 ft) in diameter
where the driver air bag (inflator) module is to be deployed.
A paved, outdoor location where there is no activity is pre-
ferred. If an outdoor location is not available, a space on the
shop floor where there is no activity and sufficient ventilation
is recommended.
Ensure no loose or flammable objects are within the deploy-
ment area.
ii) Place the driver air bag (inflator) module, with its vinyl trim
cover facing up, on the ground in the space just cleared.
[In case of Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module]
iii) Clear a space on the ground about 185 cm (6 ft) in diameter
where the fixture (special tool) with attached air bag (inflator)
module is to be placed for deployment. A paved outdoor loca-
tion where there is no activity is preferred. If an outdoor loca-
tion is not available, a space on the shop floor where there is
no activity and sufficient ventilation is recommended. Ensure
that no loose or flammable objects are within the deployment
area.
iii) Place special tool (passenger air bag (inflator) module de-
ployment fixture) on the ground in the space cleared in step
i), if it has not already been placed there.
Special Tool
(B): 09932-75040
iii) Fill plastic reservoir in fixture (special tool) with water or sand.
This is necessary to provide sufficient stabilization of the fix-
ture during deployment.
iv) Securely attach the passenger air bag (inflator) module in the
fixture (special tool) using mounting attachment, hold-down
bolts and nuts and M8 bolts and nuts.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use the following bolt and nut for fixing pas-
senger air bag (inflator) module to mounting attach-
ment. Size: M8, Strength: 7T
Passenger air bag (inflator) module must be mounted so that
the bag will deploy upward. Securely tighten all fastener prior
to deployment.

1. Stretch deployment harness to full length 10 m (33 ft).
2. Connect connectors.
3. Power source (12V vehicle battery).
4. Short the two deployment harness leads.
10B-74 AIR BAG SYSTEM
7) Stretch the deployment harness from the driver or passenger
air bag (inflator) module to its full length 10 m (33 ft).
8) Place a power source near the shorted end of the deployment
harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts minimum, 2
amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
9) Verify that the area around the driver or passenger air bag (in-
flator) module is clear of all people and loose or flammable ob-
jects.
10) [In case of Driver Air Bag (Inflater) Module]
Verify that the driver air bag (inflator) module is resting with its
vinyl trim cover facing up.
[In case of Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module]
Verify that the passenger air bag (inflator) module is firmly and
properly secured in passenger air bag (inflator) module deploy-
ment fixture (special tool).
11) Connect the driver or passenger air bag (inflator) module to the
deployment harness connector and lock connector with lock le-
ver.
12) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy
the air bag (inflator) module.
NOTE:

When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will
create a substantial report. Wear suitable ear protection.
Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the air bag (inflator) module and suitable ear
protection should be worn.

When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag (inflator)
module may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is a
normal reaction of the driver air bag (inflator) module to
the force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.

After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue.
This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lu-
bricate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the
chemical reaction.

Always carry a live air bag (inflator) module with trim
cover away from you.

When storing a live air bag (inflator) module or when
leaving a live air bag (inflator) module unattended on
a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim
cover up and away from the surface. As the live pas-
senger air bag (inflator) module must be placed with
its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it or the work-
bench with a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it

This is necessary so that a free space is provided to
allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of ac-
cidental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal inju-
ry.
23) Temporarily store the air bag (inflator) module with its vinyl trim
cover facing up, away from the surface upon which it rests. Re-
fer to ªService Precautionsº in this section for details.

12) Completely cover windshield area and front door window
openings with a drop cloth, blanket to similar item. This reduces
the possibility of injury due to possible fragmentation of the ve-
hicle's glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy
the air bag (inflator) module.
NOTE:

When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will

surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue.
This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lu-
bricate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the
chemical reaction.
WARNING:
Safety precautions must be observed when handling a
deployed air bag (inflator) module.

After deployment, the metal surfaces of the air bag (infla-
tor) module will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas
of the air bag (inflator) module for about 30 minutes after
deployment.

Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator)
module.

If the deployed air bag (inflator) module must be moved
before it is cool, wear gloves and handle by the air bag or
vinyl trim.
