AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-435

WARNING

•

Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that 
no one is nearby. 

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately following 
the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to 
allow it to cool before attempting to handle it. 
Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from 
air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module 
and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal 
(Refer to 

P.52B-439

) for post-deployment handling 

instructions. 

•

If the side-air bag fails to deploy, do not go near 
the module.

6. At a location as far away from the front seatback as 

possible, and from a shielded position, disconnect the two 
connected wires from each other, and connect them to the 
two terminals of the battery (which has been removed from 
the vehicle) to deploy the air bag. 

7. Discard the deployed side-air bag module as specified in 

Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt 
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-439

). 

.

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE 
<CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE>

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cables before doing any further work (Refer to 

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

•

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS 
AFTER HANDLING.

•

Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6 
meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other 
people.

•

Do not perform deployment outside if a strong 
wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place 
the air bag module downwind from the battery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables 

from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from 
the vehicle.

WARNING

Store the curtain air bag module on a flat surface with 
its operation surface facing up. Do not place anything 
on top of them.

2. Remove the curtain air bag module from the vehicle (Refer 

to 

P.52B-409

).

3. Cut the inflator from the air bag as shown in the figure using 

a cutter or a similar tool.

4. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or 

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB991885, and cover 
the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the 
deployment wires should be connected to each other 
(short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment 
of the air bag module.
NOTE: This prevents the air bags from being unintentionally 
deployed because of the static and others.

5. Connect the special tool MB991885 to the curtain air bag 

module.

6. Feed a thick wire through the bracket of the inflator, and 

connect it to an old tire without a wheel.

7. Place the tire to which the inflator is fixed onto the two 

stacked tires. Then, place 1 or more old tires without wheel 
onto the stacked tires, and tie and fix all the tires with rope.

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <SEAT 
BELT PRE-TENSIONER>

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the bat-
tery cables before doing any further work (Refer to 

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

•

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS 
AFTER HANDLING.

•

Operate the seat belt pre-tensioner in a wide, flat 
area at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from obsta-
cles and other people.

•

Do not perform operation outside if a strong wind 
is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the seat 
belt pre-tensioner downwind from the battery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables 

from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from 
the vehicle.

WARNING

Store the seat belt pre-tensioner on a flat surface with

3. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or 

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB991885, and cover 
the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the 
deployment wires should be connected to each other 
(short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected operation of 
the seat belt pre-tensioner.
NOTE: This prevents the unintentional activation of inflator 
caused by the static or others.

4. Connect the special tool MB991885, which the deployment 

wires is attached to, to the seat belt pre-tensioner connector.

CAUTION

The adapter harness below the wheel should be loose. If it 
is too tight, the reaction when the seat belt pre-tensioner 
operates could damage the adapter harness.
5. Pass the thick wires through the hole on the seat belt 

pre-tensioner bracket and secure them to the front (raised 
part) of the wheel in two places.

6. Pull the seat belt out to the outside of the tire, and then place 

one tire without a wheel on top.

WARNING

•

Before operation, check carefully to be sure that 
no one is nearby.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately following 
the operation, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow 
it to cool before attempting to handle it. Although 
not poisonous, do not inhale gas from seat belt 
pre-tensioner operation. See Deployed Air Bag 
Module and Operated Seat Belt pre-tensioner Dis-
posal (Refer to 

P.52B-416

) for post-operation han-

dling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate, do 
not go near the seat belt pre-tensioner.

7. At a location as far away from the seat belt pre-tensioner as 

possible, and from a shielded position, disconnect the two 
connected wires from each other, and connect them to the 
two terminals of the battery (which has been removed from 
the vehicle) to operate the seat belt pre-tensioner.

8. Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as specified in 

Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat Belt pre-tensioner 
Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-439

).
