Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the air bag assembly, or an object in front
of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in
the unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
RTW 79ASH000301
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING IS
POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF
INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure
For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag
Assemblies
Service personnel should refer to the latest Service
Bulletins for proper SRS air bag assembly shipping
procedures.
Deployed Air Bag Assembly (Driver Side)
You should wear gloves and safety glasses. After the
air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface o
f
the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the
chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to
lye soap) is produced as a by-product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture and is
converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that
sodium hydroxide will be present.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain
situations may arise which will necessitate the disposal
of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This
information covers proper procedures for disposing o
f
a live air bag assembly.
Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it
must be deployed.
A live air bag assembly must not
be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY 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 LAW.
In situations which require deployment of a live air bag
assembly, deployment may be accomplished inside o
r
outside the vehicle. The method employed depends
upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as
noted in “Deployment Outside Vehicle” and
“Deployment Inside Vehicle” in this section.
Deployment Outside Vehicle (Driver Air
Bag Assembly)
Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the
vehicle is to be returned to service. This includes, fo
r
example, situations in which the vehicle will be
returned to useful service after a functionally o
r
cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced.
Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning air bag
assembly is, of course, subject to any required
retention period.
For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag
assembly outside the vehicle, the deployment
procedure must be followed exactly. Always wea
r
safety glasses during this deployment procedure until
a deployed air bag assembly is scrapped or until an
undeployed air bag assembly is shipped. Before
performing the procedures you should be familiar with
servicing the SRS and with proper handling of the ai
r
bag assembly. Procedures should be read fully before
they are performed.
The following procedure requires use of a 5-8840-
2468-06 SRS deployment harness with appropriate
pigtail adapter. Do not attempt the procedure without
a 5-8840-2468-0 adapter.
WARNING: F
AILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWER
SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE DRIVER AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. 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 DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL
PROCEDURE.
NOTE: This information applies only to driver air bag
assembly. Refer to “Deployment Outside Vehicle
(Passenger Air Bag assembly)” in this section fo
r
information on passenger air bag assembly scrapping.
1. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”, remove the ke

RTW 79ASH001101
7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six
feet) in diameter where the driver air bag assembl
y
is to be deployed. 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 no
loose or flammable objects are within the
deployment area.
RTW 79ASH001201
8. Place the driver air bag assembly, with its trim
cover facing up, on the ground in the space just
cleared.
9. Stretch the SRS deployment harness and pigtail adapter from the driver air bag assembly to its full

application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.
11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the SRS deployment harness. The
deployment harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is
to be deployed. The driver 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 driver air bag assembly connector. Failure to
fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting ba
r
located in the driver air bag assembly connecto
r
functioning (shorted) and may result in no deployment
of the driver air bag assembly.
12. Verify that the area around the driver air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose o
r
flammable objects.
13. Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting with its trim cover facing up.

20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed
driver air bag assembly. After the air bag assembl
y
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue. This power consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical
reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by-product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR

BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS
COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AIR
BAG OR TRIM COVER.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly as soon after deployment as
possible. This will prevent damage to the pigtail
adapter or SRS deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot driver air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter can be
reused. They should, however, be inspected fo
r
damage after each deployment and replaced i
f
