Air Bag Deployment (Outside Vehicle)

NOTE: Before disposing of air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners, or vehicles equipped with such systems, deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as indicated in DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER".
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400 (Kent-Moore No. J38381).
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the deployment component.
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner a fairly loud noise is made followed by smoke being released. The smoke is not poisonous however be careful not to inhale smoke as it irritates the throat and can cause choking.
Only activate one air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner at a time.
Due to heat leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Leave seat belt pre-tensioner unattended for more than 10 minutes after deployment.
Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner.
Never apply water to a deployed air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner.
Wash your hands clean after finishing work.
Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m (20 ft) on all sides when deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner while mounted in vehicle.
Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
Do not dispose of the air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner un-deployed.







Deployment of Front Side Air Bag Module (Outside of vehicle)
1. Make 6.5 mm (0.256 in) diameter holes air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] at the position shown in figure.






2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] in a vise.
3. Insert the stud bolts of front side air bag module (built-in type) into the two holes in air bag module bracket (held in vise) and fix them with two M6 nuts.

CAUTION: Front side air bag module should be secured to air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] in a vise with metal portion facing down.






4. Connect deployment tool adapter [SST: KV99108300 (J38381-35)] to deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] connector and connector on air bag module.






5. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
6. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
7. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage", will illuminate and the front side air bag module will deploy.

CAUTION: When deploying the front side air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the front side air bag module.
