MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. UNDEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLIES MUST NOT BE DISPOSED
OF THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.
THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
CONTAINS SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE
SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE
SEALED CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING
DISPOSAL. DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER
INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER PROCEDURES
MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE
AND/OR LOCAL LAWS.
Deployment out of the vehicle is proper when the
vehicle is to be returned to service. This includes, fo
r
example, situations in which a functionally or
cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced.
Deployment and disposal of an air bag assembly is, o
f
course, subject to any required retention period.
For deployment of a live air bag assembly out of the
vehicle, the deployment procedure must be followed
exactly. Always wear safety glasses during this
deployment procedure until the deployed air bag
assembly is scrapped. Before performing the
procedures, you should be familiar with servicing the
SRS system and with proper handling of the air bag
assembly. Procedures should be read fully before
they are performed.
The following procedure requires use of a 5-8840-
2468-0 SRS Deployment Harness with the appropriate
pigtail adapter. The procedure also requires the use
of a 5-8840-2420-0 Passenger Side SRS Module
Deployment Fixture. Do not attempt this procedure
without a 5-8840-2468-0 and adapter, and a 5-8840-
2420-0.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
IN THE ORDER LISTED MA
Y RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWER
SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY. THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT. WEAR
SAFETY GLASSES THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE

5. Remove the passenger air bag assembly from the
vehicle. Refer to “Passenger Air Bag Assembl
y
Removal “.
6. Clear a space on the ground approximately 183 cm (six feet) in diameter where the fixture with
attached air bag assembly is to be placed fo
r
deployment. A paved outdoor location where there
is no activity is preferred. If an outdoor location is
not available, a space on the shop floor where
there is no activity and there is sufficient ventilation
is recommended. Ensure that no loose o
r
flammable objects are within the deployment area.
7. Place the 5-8840-2420-0 on the bench vise. This is necessary to provide sufficient stabilization o
f
the fixture during deployment.
8. Attach the passenger air bag assembly in the 5- 8840-2420-0. The air bag assembly must be
mounted such that the bag will deploy upward.
SECURELY HAND–TIGHTEN ALL FASTENERS

9. Stretch the SRS Deployment Harness and pigtail
adapter from the air bag assembly to its full length.
10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. (Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.)
11. Connect the air bag assembly to the pigtail adapte
r
on the SRS deployment harness. The SRS
Deployment Harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is
to be deployed. The air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a powe
r
source is connected to it.

NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated
into the air bag assembly connector. Failure to full
y
seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar located
in the air bag assembly connector functioning (shorting
the deployment circuit) and may result in no
deployment of the air bag assembly.
12. Verify that the area around the passenger air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose o
r
flammable objects.
13. Verify that the passenger air bag assembly is firmly and properly in the 5-8840-2420-0.
14. Notify all people in the immediate area of you
r
intention to deploy the passenger air bag
assembly. The deployment will be accompanied
by a substantial noise which may startle the
uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.
NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot) vertically.
This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the air bag assembly.
WARNING: THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the power source to immediately deploy the air bag
assembly. Recommended application : 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is
suggested.
17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the power source.
18. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other.
19. In the unlikely event that the passenger air bag assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 24
through 26. If the passenger air bag assembl
y
deployed as intended, proceed with Steps 20
through 23.

20. The passenger inflator requires no special
precaution after deployment. 95% of the
particulate emission is potassium chloride (KLC),
which is commonly sold as an edible salt-
substitute. Even if water is applied, post
deployment products are relatively pH neutral.
Disposing of the inflator by burying it in a landfill
will not produce any hazardous products. As with
any dusty environment, safety goggles, dust mask
and gloves should be worn.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY METAL
PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED
INFLATOR MODULE NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE
OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER AN AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND
SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE
METAL AREAS OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FOR
ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AFTER DEPLOYMENT.
IF THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE
MOVED BEFORE IT IS COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND
HANDLE BY THE AIR BAG ITSELF.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag assembly as soon after deployment as possible to
avoid damage to the pigtail adapter or SRS
deployment harness from contacting the hot ai
r
bag assembly canister. The pigtail adapter and
SRS deployment harness are designed to be
reused. They should, however, be inspected fo
r
damage after each deployment and replaced if
necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed air bag assembly through normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at
least 30 minutes.
23. W ash your hands with mild soap and wate
r
afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the air bag assembly did not deplo
y
after following the above procedures.
24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has been disconnected from the power source and that
its two banana plugs have been shorted togethe
r
by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag assembly.

WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG UP
AND AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS
NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE SPACE IS
PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL
DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
26. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the bag facing up, away from the surface upon which it
rests.

Deployment Inside Vehicle (Vehicle
Scrapping Procedure)
Deployment inside the vehicle is proper when the
vehicle is to be destroyed or salvaged for component
parts. This includes, but is not limited to, the following
situations:
1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.
2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a nondeployment type accident.
3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond repair in a theft.
4. The vehicle will be salvaged for component parts to be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used. Fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring a thread
locking compound will be called out. The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in the Driver–Passenger SRS
can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment
for up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembl
y
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.

Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove the SRS fuse “SRS” from the left dash side lower fuse block or disconnect the battery.
2. Disconnect the yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove the glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenger air bag assembly replacement” in this
section.
4. Disconnect the passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.

CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and the
ignition switch to “ON,” the “SRS” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove the
key.
1. Connect the yellow connector passenger air bag assembly.
2. Install the glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in
this section.
3. Connect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.
4. Install the “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the left dash side lower fuse block or connect the battery.
Turn the ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the
“SRS” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns to “LOCK”. If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.

Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65 °C (150 °F).
2.
Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. W hen a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “SRS”
warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in
extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and
incorrect parts replacements.
