DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
WARNING:

The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it off
before proceeding the work.

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

After an 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 lubri-
cate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the chemical
reaction. As with many service procedures, gloves and
safety glasses should be worn.

Wash your hands with mild soap and water after complet-
ing the work.
Refer to the procedure described under ªDeployed Air Bag (Inflator)
Modules Disposalº in this section.

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.

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).

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.

DEPLOYED 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 contains sub-
stances that can cause severe illness or personal injury if
the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) modules (driver/passenger) can be dis-
posed of through normal refuse channels just like any other parts.
For their disposal, however, following points should be noted.

The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deployment is very
hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before handling it.

Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module
to cool it off and be careful so that water, oil etc. does not get on
the deployed air bag (inflator) module.

After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder con-
sists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it in-
flates) and byproducts of the chemical reaction. As with many ser-
vice procedures, you should wear gloves and safety glasses.

When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module, be sure
to seal it in a vinyl bag.

When air bag (inflator) module(s) have been deployed inside the
vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them as installed to
the vehicle.

Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water after han-
dling it.
