3. Follow the diagram below by positioning two tires

stacked on top of each other then the tire with the
airbag assembly, another tire then a tire with a
wheel on top and tie the tires securely with a rope
to prevent the tires from collapsing.

9. Notify all people in the immediate area of your

intention to deploy the passenger air bag assembly.
The deployment will be accompanied by a substantial
noise which may startle the uninformed.

WARNING: DEPLOYED 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 THE DEPLOYMENT
HARNESS IS CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE
(THIS IS THE LAST STEP WHEN DEPLOYING AN
AIRBAG ASSEMBLY). FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.

10. Connect the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

deployment harness wires to the power source to
immediately deploy the air bag assembly.
Recommended application : 12 volts minimum, 2
amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.

827LW011

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED
AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER AN AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEPOLOYED, THE METAL
CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE
AIRBAG ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT. DO NOT TOUCH
THE METAL AREAS OF THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AFTER
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS COOL,
WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AIRBAG. DO
NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED INFLATOR MODULE
NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.

11. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the airbag

assembly immediately after deployment to avoid
damage to the pigtail adapter or SRS deployment
harness from contacting the hot airbag assembly
cannister. The pigtail adapter and SRS deployment
harness are designed to be reused. They should,
however, be inspected for damage after each
deployment and replaced if necessary.

12. Dispose of the deployed air bag assembly through

normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at least
30 minutes.

13. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.

NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the air bag assembly did not deploy
after following the above procedures.

14. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has been

disconnected from the power source and that its two
banana plugs have been shorted together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.

15. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag

assembly.

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 BAG 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.

16. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the bag

facing up, away from the surface upon which it rests.

Deployment Inside Vehicle (Vehicle
Scrapping Procedure)

Only deploy the airbag inside the vehicle if the vehicle is to
be destroyed or salvaged for component parts. This
includes, but is not limited to, the following situations:

1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.
2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a

non deployment type accident.

3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond

repair in a theft.

4. The vehicle will be salvaged for component parts to

be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) as opposed to being
rebuilt as same VIN. Never use SRS components
from another vehicle.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. UNDEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLIES 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 LAWS.

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

on safety glasses.

2. Remove all loose objects from front seats.
3. Disconnect Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

coil assembly, yellow 2–pin connector located at the
base of the steering column.

4. Cut the SRS coil assembly yellow 2–pin harness

connector from the vehicle leaving at least 16 cm (six
inches) of wire at the connector.

5. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from yellow–green

and yellow–black wire lead of the connector.

6. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from 0.8

(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire. These

wires will be used to fabricate the driver deployment
harness.

7. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends of

the wires cut in the previous step.

8. Short the wires by twisting together one end from

each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is to
be deployed.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN
THE ORDER LISTED COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY. NEVER CONNECT DEPLOYMENT WIRES
TO ANY POWER SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING
DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
LEADS. DEPLOYMENT WIRES 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.

9. Twist together one connector wire lead to one

deployment wire. The connection should be
mechanically secure.

10. Bend twisted connection made in the previous step

flat and wrap tightly with electrical tape to insulate and
secure.

11. Twist together, bend and tape the remaining

connector wire lead to the remaining deployment
wire.

12. Connect the deployment harness to the driver air bag

assembly, yellow 2–pin connector at the base of the
steering column. Route deployment harness out the
driver side of the vehicle.

WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES 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.

CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FINAL
STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT
PROCEDURE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE OR-
DER LISTED COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

13. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly, yellow 2–pin

connector located behind glove box assembly.

14. Cut the passenger air bag assembly harness

connector from the vehicle leaving at least 16 cm (six
inches) of wire at the connector.

23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area

surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and
loose or flammable objects.

24. Stretch the driver and passenger deployment

harness to their full length.

25. Completely cover windshield area and front door

window openings with a drop cloth, blanket or similar
item. This reduces the possibility of injury due to
possible fragmentation of the vehicle’s glass or
interior.

26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend

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

27. Separate the two ends of the driver deployment
