Isuzu Rodeo UE. Manual - part 637
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
9J–18
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER
SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER UP, 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 COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
37. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the air
bag opening facing up, away from the surface upon
which it rests.
Deployed Air Bag Assembly Handling
Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect
your hands and eyes from possible irritation and heat
when handling the deployed air bag assembly.
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 after deployment.
Special Tools
WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A
BATTERY–POWERED OR AC–POWERED
VOLTMETER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON
POWERED PROBE–TYPE TESTER. INSTRUCTIONS
IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED
CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
J–41433 SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool
The SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool J–41433 is used
only when called for in this section. It is used as a
diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent air
bag assembly deployment.
The load tool has four yellow connectors attached to its
case.
The three small connectors are electrically functional and
serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time. One
of the small connectors is used to substitute for the load of
the driver air bag assembly when it is connected at the top
of the column to the SRS coil assembly. Another small
connector is used to substitute for the load of the driver air
bag assembly and the SRS coil assembly when it is
connected at the base of the column to the SRS wiring
harness. The third small connector is used to substitute
for the load of the passenger air bag assembly when
connected to the passenger air bag assembly harness
connector.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when called
for, a determination can be made as to whether an inflator
circuit component is causing system malfunction and
which component is causing the malfunction. The load
tool should be used only when specifically called for in the
diagnostic procedures.
