SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM  9A-21 

On–Vehicle Service 

Service Precaution 

WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS.  FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY SRS 
REPAIRS. 

The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed. 

Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment.  If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire. 

 
Disabling The SRS 

Removal 

Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove the 
key. 

  1. Remove the SRS fuse “SRS”, from the side of the

driver’s side of the instrument panel fuse block or
disconnect the battery. 

  2. Disconnect the yellow connector at the base of the

steering column.  

 3. 

Remove the glove box assembly, refer to
“Passenger Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in
this manual. 

  4. Disconnect the yellow connector behind the glove

box assembly. 

CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switched “ON”, the “SRS” warning lamp
will be “ON”.  This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction. 

 

 

Enabling The SRS 

Installation 

CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from 
another vehicle or different model year air bag 
assembly. 

Use only a new air bag assembly matched to the 
TFR/S which is being repaired. 

Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove the 
key. 

  1. Connect the yellow connector passenger air bag 

assembly. 

 

2. 

Install the glove box assembly. Refer to 
“Passenger air bag assembly replacement” in this 
manual. 

  3. Connect the yellow connector at the base of the 

steering column. 

  4. Install the “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the side of the 

driver’s side of the instrument panel fuse block or 
connect the battery. 

Turn the ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the 
“SRS” warning lamp flashes seven times and then 
turns to “LOCK”. If it does not operate as described, 
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this 
manual. 

 
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis 

  1. The air bag assembly should not be subjected to 

temperatures above 65

°

C (150

°

F). 

 2. The air bag assembly, and SRS control unit,

should not be used if they have been dropped from 
a height of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more. 

  3. When the SRS control unit is replaced, it must be 

oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing 
toward the front of the vehicle. It is very important 
for the SRS control unit to be located flat on the 
mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum 
line. It is important that the SRS control unit 
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign 
material. 

 4. 

Do not apply power to the SRS unless all 
components are connected or a diagnostic chart 
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble 
code. 

  5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the 

starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS 
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “SRS” 
warning lamp operation and will lead you to the 
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions. 
Bypassing these procedures may result in 
extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and 
incorrect parts replacement.

Air Bag Assembly Handling / 

Shipping / Scrapping 

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. 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

RTW79ASH000301

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 of 
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. 

 

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM  9A-23 

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 of
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 or
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, for
example, situations in which the vehicle will be
returned to useful service after a functionally or
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 wear
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 air
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: FAILURE 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 for 
information on passenger air bag assembly scrapping.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”, remove the key 

and put on safety glasses. 

 2. 

Inspect the 5-8840-2468-0 SRS Deployment 
Harness and appropriate pigtail adapter for 
damage.  If the harness or pigtail adapter is 
damaged, discard and obtain a replacement. 

 3. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads 

together by fully seating one banana plug into the 
other.  The SRS deployment harness shall remain 
shorted and not be connected to a power source 
until the air bag is to be deployed.

WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE AIR BAG
AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE.  THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE
SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO
EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.  FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. 

  6. Place the driver air bag assembly on a work bench

or other surface away from all loose or flammable
objects with its trim cover facing up, away from the
surface. 

 

 
 
 

 

RTW79ASH001101

  7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six

feet) in diameter where the driver air bag assembly
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. 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

RTW79ASH001201

 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 
length. 

 10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the 

SRS deployment harness.  Recommended 
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 power 
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 bar 
located in the driver air bag assembly connector 
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 or 
flammable objects. 

 13. Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting 

with its trim cover facing up. 

 

14. Notify all people in the immediate area that you 

intend to deploy the driver air bag.  The 
deployment will be accompanied by a substantial 
noise which may startle the uninformed. 

 

15. 

Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS 
deployment harness.
