SRS ± Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures
52B-52
(7) Disconnect the deployment wires as far from the
vehicle as possible and connect the wires to the
terminals of the battery removed from the vehicle.
Deploy the side air bag module.
Caution
1) Before deploying the air bag in this manner,
first check to be sure that there is no one in
or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.
2) The deployment of the side air bag makes the
inflator very hot. Before handling the inflator,
wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
3) If the air bag module fails to deploy when the
procedures above are followed, do not go near
the module. Contact your local distributor.
(8) Remove the deployed side air bag module from the
seat back assembly and discard as specified in the
procedure (Refer to P.52B-60).
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(1) Remove the quarter trim. (Refer to GROUP 52A)
(2) Remove the connection between the seat belt
pre-tensioner 2-pin connector (yellow) and the body
wiring harness connector (2-pin).
NOTE
If the seat belt pre-tensioner connector is disconnected
from the body wiring harness, both electrodes of the
seat belt pre-tensioner connector will be automatically
shorted to prevent unintended operation of the seat
belt pre-tensioner due to static electricity, etc.
(3) Prepare two wires longer than 6 m for deployment
and connect the terminals in one end to short-circuit.
This is to prevent accidental operation caused by static
etc.
(4) 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 operation caused by static.
