5-68Notice
The circuit resistance of the airbag assembly (squib) cannot be measured even with a designated tester.
Since there is current flowing in the squib, when a tester is involved in measuring the resistance, sometimes
the airbag is unexpectedly deployed in case of static electricity, leading to serious accident.
(2) Check the clock spring
Check the following items, and replace the clock spring if any badness is found.
a. Check the connector and protecting tube for damage and the terminal for distortion.
b. Check the case for damage.
c. Check and see if the joint terminal at the upper end of the clock spring are in conduction with that at the
lower end.
d. A thin probe shall be inserted from the back of the yellow connector of the clock spring.
e. With reference to the figure below, insert thin probes into the current tester to check the conduction of the
terminals.VIII. Key points for scrapping the airbag assembly The airbag shall be deployed according to the following procedures before scrapping the airbag assembly or
a vehicle installed with an airbag.
1. Scrapping of an airbag assembly prior to deploymentNotice
The airbag shall be deployed before being scrapped.
The airbag shall be deployed outside the vehicle before being changed.
The airbag shall be deployed in the vicinity of a smoke detector since smoke will appear when the airbag
is deployed.
When being deployed, the airbag will create much noise. People nearby shall wear noise muffler to close
their ears. Avoid do the job within the residential areas.
Deploy inside a vehicle
1) Park the vehicle in a flat area
2) Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal cables from the battery and remove the battery from
the vehicle.SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)-
SRS-General Information a. Check the cover for pitting, crack and distortion.
b. Check the connector of the wire harness for damage and the terminal for distortion.
c. Check the case of the gas generator for pitting, crack and distortion.
d. Check the installation status of the airbag assembly. 2. Checking
(1) Driver airbag assembly checking
Check the following items and replace the related components of the airbag assembly if any badness is found.
The old components shall be deployed before scrapping.Notice
If there is pitting, crack or distortion, replace the airbag assembly with new one. The old components of
the airbag shall be deployed before scrapping.
