8B-122 Air Bag System: 

WARNING

!

 

• Do not place deployed air bag (inflator) 

module and activated seat belt 
pretensioners near any flammable objects.

• Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air 

bag (inflator) module and activated seat 
belt pretensioners.

• Wait for about 30 minutes before touching 

any metal surface of air bag (inflater) 
module or seat belt pretensioner modules. 
Disregarding these precautions may cause 
fire or personal injury.

Failure to follow procedures may result in fire 
or personal injury.

 

14) Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment 

harness (2).

15) Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle 

battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate 
air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.

16) Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts 

vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment 
harness leads together by fully seating one banana 
plug into the other.

17) Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air 

bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners 
which has not been deployed / activated, if any.

18) In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module 

and seat belt pretensioners after following these 
procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24) 
through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt 
pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with 
Steps 19) through 23).

19) Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean 

off any fragments or discard it entirely.

20) Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from 

possible irritation and heat when handling deployed 
air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt 
pretensioners.

21) Disconnect adapter cable (special tool) from air bag 

(inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as soon as 
possible. This will prevent adapter cable (special 
tool) from damage due to possible contact with hot 
air bag (inflator) module or hot seat belt 
pretensioner.

22) Check adapter cable connector as follows.

Adapter cable connector (special tool) is designed to 
be reused. However it should be inspected for 
damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.

23) With air bag (inflator) modules deployed and seat 

belt pretensioners activated, vehicle may be 
scrapped in the same manner as non-air bag system 
/ seat belt pretensioner equipped vehicle.

NOTE
Remaining steps are to be followed in the 
unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module 
did not deploy or seat belt pretensioner did 
not activate.

 

24) Remove undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and/

or inactivated seat belt pretensioner(s) from vehicle. 
For driver air bag (inflator) module, refer to “Driver 
Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation”. 
For passenger air bag (inflator) module, refer to 
“Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and 
Installation”. For side air bag (inflator) module, refer 
to “Side-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and 
Installation”. For side curtain-air bag (inflator) 
module, “Side Curtain-Air Bag (Inflator) Module 
Removal and Installation”. For seat belt 
pretensioner, refer to “Front Seat Belt Removal and 
Installation in Section 8A”.

25) Temporarily store undeployed air bag (inflator) 

module referring to “Precautions on Service and 
Diagnosis of Air Bag System” for details.

26) Contact your local distributor for further assistance.

Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and 
Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal

S6JB0B8206018

WARNING

!

 

Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) 
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal 
procedures can result in air bag deployment 
and pretensioner activation which may cause 
personal injury. The undeployed air bag 
(inflator) module and the inactivated seat belt 
pretensioner must not be disposed of 
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and 
the inactivated seat belt pretensioner 
contains substances that can cause severe 
illness or personal injury if the sealed 
container is damaged during disposal.

Air Bag System:  8B-123

Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat 
belt pretensioner can be disposed of through normal 
refuse channels just like any other parts. For their 
disposal, however, the following points should be noted.
• The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt 

pretensioner immediately after deployment / activation 
is very hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before 
handling it.

• Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag 

(inflator) module and the activated seat belt 
pretensioner to cool it off and be careful so that water, 
oil etc. does not get on the deployed air bag (inflator) 
module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.

• After the air bag (inflator) module 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. As with many 
service procedures, you should wear gloves and 
safety glasses.

• When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) 

module and the activated seat belt pretensioner, be 
sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.

• When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt 

pretensioner have been deployed / activated inside 
the vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them 
as installed to the vehicle.

• Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water 

after handling them.

Special Tools and Equipment

Use of Special Tools

S6JB0B8208001

WARNING

!

 

To avoid deployment when troubleshooting 
the air bag system, 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. Do not use a non-powered probe 
type tester.
Instructions must be followed carefully, 
otherwise personal injury may result.

 

You should be familiar with the tools listed under the 
heading “Special Tool”. You should be able to measure 
voltage and resistance. You should be familiar with 
proper use of a scan tool such as Air Bag Driver / 
Passenger Load Tool, Connector Test Adapter Kit and 
the Digital Multimeter.

Special tool
(A):  09932–76010 (Connector Test Adapter Kit)

This must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure 
requests checking or probing a terminal.
Using the appropriate adapter in the special tool will 
ensure that no damage to the terminal will occur from the 
multimeter probe, such as spreading or bending.

The adapter (1) will also give an idea of whether or not 
contact tension is sufficient, helping to find an open or 
intermittent open due to poor terminal contact. An SDM 
short bar release tool (2) is included in the connector test 
adapter kit. Inserting it into the SDM connector (3) will 
releases the shorting bar.

Special tool
(B):  09932–75010 (Air bag driver / passenger load 
tool)

This tool is used as a diagnostic aid and safety device to 
prevent inadvertent air bag (inflator) module deployment.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case 
which are electrically functional and serve as resistive 
load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (“STEERING WHEEL”) is used to 
substitute the load of the followings.
• Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at 

the top of the column to the contact coil assembly.

• Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is 

connected to the air bag harness connector in 
instrument panel harness for passenger air bag 
(inflator) module.

• Each of driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners 

when it is connected to air bag harness connector in 
instrument panel harness for driver and passenger 
seat belt pretensioners.

• Side-air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to 

the floor harness connector for side-air bag (inflator) 
module.

• Side curtain-air bag (inflator) module when it is 

connected to the floor harness connector for side 
curtain-air bag (inflator) module.

I5JB0A820108-01

Air Bag System:  8B-125

Another connector (“BASE OF COLUMN”) is used to 
substitute the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module 
and the contact coil assembly when it is connected at the 
base of the column to the air bag wire harness.
The third connector (“PASSENGER INFLATOR”) is not 
used.
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.
