Disposal Procedures52B-69
(2) Connect deployment harnesses longer than 6 m to
each SRS air bag adapter harness and insulate the
connections with plastic tape.
Also, connect the deployment harness in the other
ends to connect (short-circuit). This prevents the
driver’s air bag module from accidental deployment
caused by static and etc.
(3) Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to discharge
static in you.
Caution
Never fail to do Step (3) in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.
(4) Install a nut to the bolt behind the driver’s air bag
module and tie thick wire there for securing.
(5) Route the deployment harnesses connected to the
driver’s air bag module beneath an old tyre and wheel
assembly. Then, using the wire tied to the bolt, secure
the driver’s air bag module to the tyre and wheel
assembly with the deployment surface facing up.
(6) Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre
secured with the driver’s air bag module.

(7) Separate the deployment harnesses as far from the
driver’s side air bag module as possible and connect
to the terminals of the battery removed from the
vehicle. Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
around the driver’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the
driver’s air bag very hot. Before handling the
inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
3) If the driver’s air bag module fails to deploy
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(8) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
(Refer to P.52B-75.)
Driver’s side air bag module
type>
(1) Remove the steering wheel - air bag module assembly
from the vehicle. (Refer to P.52B-52.)
Caution
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the driver’s
air bag module connector short automatically to
prevent accidental deployment caused by static
etc. Still, in consideration of the accidental
deployment, store the air bag module on flat place
with deployment surface facing up. Also, do not
put anything on it.
(2) Prepare two deployment harnesses longer than 6 m
for deployment and connect the terminals in one end
to short-circuit. This is to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static etc.
(3) Touch the vehicle’s body with bare hands to discharge
static in you.
Caution
Never fail to do Step (3) in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.

(4) Release the secured connector of the steering
wheel - driver’s air bag module assembly to cut off
the connector from the harness with a nipper and
etc. Connect deployment harnesses to each of two
separated harnesses and cover the area with
insulation tape.
(5) Use a rope to tie the steering wheel - driver’s air bag
module assembly to secure old tyres with wheels.
(6) Route the deployment harness connected to driver’s
air bag module beneath old tyres with wheels. Then,
secure the steering wheel - driver’s air bag module
assembly with the deployment surface facing up.
(7) Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre
secured with the driver’s air bag module.
(8) Separate the deployment harnesses as far from the
driver’s side air bag module as possible and connect
to the terminals of the battery removed from the
vehicle. Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
around the driver’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the
driver’s air bag very hot. Before handling the
inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
3) If the driver’s air bag module fails to deploy
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(9) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.

Front passenger’s air bag module
(1) Remove the front passenger’s air bag module from
the vehicle. (Refer to P.52B-52.)
Caution
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the front
passenger’s air bag module connector short
automatically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of the
accidental deployment, store the air bag module
on flat place with deployment surface facing up.
Also, do not put anything on it.
(2) Connect deployment harness 6 m or longer with the
SRS air bag adapter harness respectively. Insulate
the connection with tape.
Also, connect the other ends of the deployment
harness each other to short, thereby preventing the
front passenger’s air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.
(3) Route the SRS air bag adapter harness with the
deployment harnesses beneath an old tyre and wheel
assembly. Then, connect the harnesses to the front
passenger’s air bag module.
(4) Route a thick wire through the holes in the front
passenger’s air bag module bracket. With the
deployment surface facing up, secure the front
passenger’s air bag module to the old tyre and wheel
assembly.
Caution
1) The adapter harness below the wheel should
be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the
air bag deploys could damage the adapter
harness.
2) Place the connector of the SRS air bag adapter
harness so that it is not clamped by the tyre at
deployment.
(5) Put three old tyres without wheels on the tyre secured
to the front passenger’s air bag module. Secure all
the tyres with ropes (4 locations).
NOTE
The tyres must be bound because the passenger’s
air bag inflates more than the driver’s air bag.

connect the harnesses to the battery removed from
the vehicle.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
the front passenger’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the front
passenger’s air bag very hot. Before handling
the inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for
cooling.
3) If the front passenger’s air bag module fails to
deploy although the procedure is respected,
do not go near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(7) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
(Refer to P.52B-75.)
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(1) Remove the seat belt with pre-tensioner from the
vehicle. (Refer to P.52B-61.)
Caution
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the seat
belt pre-tensioner are short-circuited
automatically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of the
accidental deployment, store the air bag module
on flat place with deployment surface facing up.
Also, do not put anything on it.
(2) Connect deployment harness 6 m or longer with the
SRS air bag adapter harness respectively. Insulate
the connection with tape.
Moreover, the ends of the operation harness should
be connected (short-circuited) to each other. Thus,
it prevents the seat belt pre-tensioner from accidental
deployment caused by static and etc.

(3) Route a thick wire through the holes in the seat belt
retractor bracket to secure at the top of the wheel
(convex part). (two locations)
(4) Connect the seat belt pre-tensioner connector to the
the SRS air bag adapter harness with the operation
harness attached.
(5) Pull out the seat belt outside the tyre.
Caution
Place the connector of the SRS air bag adapter
harness so that it is not clamped by the tyres at
deployment.
(6) Place an old tyre (without a wheel) on the tyre, which
the seat belt with pre-tensioner is secured on.
(7) Disconnect the deployment harness as far fromthe
seat belt pre-tensioner as possible and connect the
both terminals of the battery removed from the vehicle.
Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
the seat belt pre-tensioner.
2) Before handling the insulator, wait for a while
for cooling.
3) If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the seat belt pre-tensioner. Contact your
local distributor.

DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE OR OPERATED
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES
Discard the deployed air bag module or the operated seat
belt with pre-tensioner paying attention to the following items.
1. The deployment makes the inflator of the air bag or the
operation of the seat belt pre-tensioner very hot. Wait
for more than 30 minutes for cooling before handling
the inflator.
2. Do not apply any water or oil onto the deployed air bag
module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner.
3. Wear gloves and protective glasses before handing the
deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt
pre-tensioner since materials on those parts may cause
irritation to eyes or skin.
Caution
If after following these precautions, any material does
get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the
affected area with a large amount of clean water.
If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.
4. Discard the air bag module and the seat belt with
pre-tensioner after placing them into a strong vinyl bag
for sealing.
5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this
operation.
