Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain
airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle
tensioner (including those in a whole vehicle to be
scrapped), the part(s) must be deployed. If the vehicle is
still within the warranty period, the Honda District Parts
and Service Manager must give approval and/or special
instructions before deploying the part(s). Only after the
part(s) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle
collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the parts appear intact (not deployed), treat them with
extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its
airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt
tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioner should be
deployed while still in the vehicle. These parts should
not be considered as salvageable parts and should
never be installed in another vehicle.1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then disconnect the negative cable from the battery,
then wait at least 3 minutes before starting work.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, seat belt tensioner, or seat belt buckle
tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the
tool label.
4. Remove the access panel (A) from the steering wheel, then disconnect the driver’s airbag 4P
connector (B) from the cable reel. 5. Remove the glove box, then disconnect the front
passenger’s airbag 4P connector (A) from the
dashboard wire harness.
6. Disconnect the side airbag 2P connector (A) from the floor wire harness.
7. Disconnect the floor wire harness 2P connector from the side curtain airbag (A).
