. lf the green light on the tool comes on, the aar-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special
Procedure.
. lf the red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag
should deploY (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
. lf the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on. continue with this procedure.
. l{ an airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
!!@ During doployment, the airbag sssom'
bly can become hot enough to buln you. Wait thir'

AIRAAG
Doploying th6 Airbag: Out-of-vehicle
NOTE: lf an intact airbag has been removed from a
scrapped vehicle. or has been found defective or dam-
aged during transit, storage or service, it should be
deployed as follows:
@ Po3ition the airbag laca up, outdoors on
flat ground at lsast thirty f€€t (t0 ml from any obstacles
or people.
1. Confirm that the special tool is tunctioning properly
by following the check procedure on this page or on
the tool label.
2. Follow steps 5, 6, 7, and I of the in-vehicle deploy-
menl Drocequre.
Damaged Airbag Spacial Procedure
!@ r an airb.g cannot be deployed, it should
iiiTi-treatcd as normal scrap; il should still be consid-
srsd a potontially oxplosive device that can cau3o ssti-
ous iniury.
1. lf installed in a vehicle, lollow the removal proce-
dure on page 24-67.
2. In all cases. make a short circuit by twisting together
the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging
that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with
your Parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for
how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Check Procedur€
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector
handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery.
2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is
OK: red means the tool is faulty
3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips.

How To Use This Manual
Circuit Schematics
oa
Each schematic represents one circult. A
circuit's wires and components are arranged
to show current flow, from power at the top of
the page, to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground
terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A
wire that connects one circuit to another, for
example, is cut short and has an arrowhead
at the end of it pointing in the direction of
current flow. Nelit to the anowhead is the
name o{ the circuil or comoonent which
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared
wiring, check the operation of a component it
serves. lf that component works, you know
the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and fuse box connectors are
numbered (C725, C416, etc.).
Component connectors are not numbered
but are identiJied by the name of the
component. lf a componenl has more than
one connector, each connector is assigned
a letter (A, B, C, etc.). Below most connector
numbers and comDonent names are
PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The PHOTO
number refers to a Dhoto in the back of the
book that shows lhe conneclor's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an
illustration in the back of the book that
shows the connector face, wire colors,
connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence
begins at the top left corner oJ the connector
as seen from either of the viewooints shown
on page ffl . Disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housino.
Wires
Wires are identilied by the abbreviated
names of their colors; the second color rs the
color of the stripe. Wires are also identified by
their location in a connector. The number '2"
next to the male and female wire terminals at
C416, for example, means those terminals
join in cavity 2 of connector C416.
