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).

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.

1. Connect one banana plug to positive terminal of
power source (12V vehicle battery) and then the
other to negative terminal to immediately deploy.
2. Short to two deployment harness leads.
WARNING:

After deployment, the metal surfaces of the air bag (in-
flator) module will be very hot. Do not touch the metal
areas of the air bag (inflator) module for about 30 min-
utes after deployment.

Do not place the deployed air bag (inflator) module
near any flammable objects.

Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module.

If the deployed air bag (inflator) module must be
moved before it is cool, wear gloves and handle it by
using nonmetal material such as the air bag and vinyl
trim.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or per-
sonal injury.
13) Separate the two banana plugs on the deployment harness.
14) Connect the deployment harness to the power source (12V ve-
hicle battery) to immediately deploy the driver or passenger air
bag.
15) Disconnect the deployment harness from power source (12V
vehicle battery) and short the two deployment harness leads
together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
16) In the unlikely event that the driver or passenger air bag (infla-
tor) module did not deploy after following these procedures,
proceed immediately with Steps 21) through 24). If the air bag
(inflator) module did deploy, proceed with Steps 17) through
20).

2. Drop cloth, blanket or similar item2
10B-80 AIR BAG SYSTEM
8) Route deployment harness out the vehicle.
9) Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area surrounding
the vehicle are clear of all people and loose or flammable ob-
jects.
10) Stretch the deployment harness to its full length 10 m (33 ft).
11) 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.
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
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.

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.
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.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.
