Deploying Components Out of the Vehicle
24-198SRS
Airbag and Tensioner Disposal (cont’d)
A
11. Connect a 12 V battery to the tool.
If the green light on the tool comes on, the ignitercircuit is defective and cannot deploy the
component. Go to Disposal of Damaged
Components.
If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
12. Push the tool’s deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is both
highly audible and visible: A loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation).
If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
If a component does not deploy, and the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged Components.
During deployment, the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait for 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
13. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal
it securely. Dispose of the deployed airbag
according to your local regulations. If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from
a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or
damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be
deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle on the tool label.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors, on flat ground, at least 30 ft (10 m) from any obstacles or
people.
3. Follow steps 10 through 13 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
NOTE: The driver’s and front passenger’s airbags
have dual inflators. Twist each pair of unlike
colored wires together, and clip an alligator clip to
each pair.
