Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Seat Belt
Pretensioner Disposal
S6RW0D8206018
WARNING!
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment
and pretensioner activation which may cause
personal injury. Do not dispose of live
(undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules and
seat belt pretensioners. Because undeployed
air bag (inflator) module / inactivated seat
belt pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels. Undeployed
air bag (inflator) module and inactivated seat
belt pretensioner contain substances that
can cause severe illness or personal injury if
sealed container is damaged during disposal.

Air bag (inflator) module / seat belt pretensioner can be
deployed / activated inside or outside of vehicle.
Deployment / Activation method used depends upon
final disposition of vehicle. Review the following
instructions in order to determine which will work best in
a given situation.
Deployment / Activation Outside of Vehicle: When you
intend to return the vehicle to service, deploy the air bag
(inflator) module(s) and/or activate seat belt
pretensioner(s) outside of the vehicle.
Deployment / Activation Inside of Vehicle: When the
vehicle will be destroyed, or salvaged for component
parts, deploy the air bag module(s) and/or activate seat
belt pretensioner(s) installed on vehicle.
WARNING!
The following precautions must be observed
for this work. Failure to observe any of them
may result in personal injury.
• Procedure should be followed strictly as
described here.
• Be sure to read “Precautions on Service
and Diagnosis of Air Bag System”
beforehand.
• To avoid accidental deployment /
activation, this work should be performed
by no more than one person.
• Since smoke is produced when air bag
(inflator) module is deployed and
pretensioner is activated, select well-
ventilated area.
• Air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioner will immediately deploy /
activate when 12 volts vehicle battery is
connected to it. Wear safety glasses
throughout this entire deployment /
activation and disposal procedure.
• Wear suitable ear protection when
deploying air bag (inflator) module /
activating seat belt pretensioner. Also,
advise those who are in area close to
deployment / activation site to wear
suitable ear protection.
• Do not deploy / activate two or more air
bag system components (air bag (inflator)
modules and seat belt pretensioners) at
the same time.
• Never connect deployment harness to any
12 volts vehicle battery before connecting
deployment harness to air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner.
Deployment harness shall remain shorted
and not be connected to 12 volts vehicle
battery till you are ready to deploy air bag
(inflator) module or activate seat belt
pretensioner.

Deployment / Activation Outside of Vehicle
When you intend to return the vehicle to service, deploy
the air bag (inflator) module(s) or activate seat belt
pretensioner(s) outside of the vehicle.
1) Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove
key.
2) Wear safety glasses during this deployment /
activation procedure.
3) Check that there is no open, short or damage in
special tools (deployment harness (A) and adapter
cable (B)). If any faulty is found, do not use it and be
sure to use new special tool.
Special tool
(A): 09932–75031
(B): 09932–76510
4) Short two deployment harness leads (1) together by
fully seating one banana plug into the other.
WARNING!
Deployment harness (A) shall remain shorted
and not be connected to 12 volts vehicle
battery till you are ready to deploy air bag
module or activate seat belt pretensioner.

5) Remove air bag (inflator) module(s) or seat belt
pretensioner(s) from vehicle referring to “Driver Air
Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation”,
“Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and
Installation”, “Side-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal
and Installation”, “Side Curtain-Air Bag (Inflator)
Module Removal and Installation” or “Front Seat Belt
Removal and Installation in Section 8A”.
WARNING!
• For handing and storage of live air bag
(inflator) module, select place where
ambient temperature below 65 °C (150 °F),
without high humidity and away from
electric noise.
• Always carry live air bag (inflator) module
with trim cover away from you.
• When storing live air bag (inflator) module
or when leaving live air bag (inflator)
module unattended on bench or other
surface, always face trim cover up and
away from surface. It is also prohibited to
place anything on top of the trim cover and
stack air bag (inflator) modules. This is
necessary so that free space is provided to
allow air bag (inflator) module to expand in
the unlikely event of accidental
deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in
personal injury.

I4RS0A820084-01
[A]: Always carry air bag (inflator) module with trim cover (air bag opening)
