AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-71
AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module disposal procedures can result in air bag deployment
which may cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) module must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module contain substances that can cause severe illness or personal
injury if the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Do not dispose of the live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The method employed depends upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in ªDeployment Out-
side Vehicleº and ªDeployment Inside Vehicleº in this section.
Deployment Outside Vehicle disposing of the air bag (inflator) module(s) only (i.e., the vehicle itself will be. . . . . .
used again).
Deployment Inside Vehicle scrapping the entire vehicle including the air bag (inflator) module(s).. . . . . . . .
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE
Use this procedure when the vehicle itself is used again (only the air bag (inflator) module(s) are disposed of).
WARNING:
Following precautions must be observed for this work. Failure to observe any of them may result in
personal injury.
To avoid an accidental deployment, this work should be performed by no more than one person.
The procedure should be followed strictly as described here.
Be sure to read ªService Precautionsº in this section for the air bag (inflater) module beforehand.
Never connect deployment harness to any power source before connecting deployment harness to
the air bag (inflator) module. Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a
power source until the air bag is to be deployed.
Since a large amount of smoke is produced when air bag is deployed, select a well-ventilated area.
The air bag (inflator) module will immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected
to it. Wear safety glasses throughout this entire deployment and disposal procedure.
Wear suitable ear protection when deploying air bag. Also, advise those who are in the area close to
deployment site to wear suitable ear protection.
Do not deploy driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules at the same time.
The following procedure requires use of special tool(s) (deployment harness and passenger air bag (inflator) mod-
ule deployment fixture). Do not attempt procedure without it (them).

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.

WARNING:
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be

deployed.
Special Tool

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.
