Airbag
Disposal
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a wholevehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. lfthe vehicle is still within the warranty period, before youdeploy the airbags, the Honda District Service Managermust give approval and/or special instructions. Onlv afterthe airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehiclecollision, for example), can they be scrapped.lf the airbags appear intact (not deployed). treat themwith extreme caution.
Follow this p.ocedure:
Deploying the Airbags: In.vehiclo
NOTE: lf an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, itsairbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. Theairbags should not be considered as salvageable partsand should never be installed in another veh;cle.
!@ confirm thst oach airbag assembty issecurely mounted; otharwiso. sev€re personal iniurycould result lrom deployment.
1. Disconnect the baftery negative cable, then discon_nect the positive cable.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properlyby following the check procedure on the tool labelor on page 24-'l'l .

3. Remove the access panel, then disconnect the 2pconnector between the driver,s airbag and the cablereet.

Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
. 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'
ty minutes aftsr deployment belore touching tho
assembly.
Dispose of the complete airbag assembly. No part
of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag,
and seal it securelY,
CAUTION:
. Wear a fsce shield and gloves when handling a
deployed airbag.
. Wash your hands and rinse them well with
wat6r after handling. deployed airbag.

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.

SRS Unit
Replacement
CAUTION:
. Betore disconnoqting lny pErt of the SRS wire hal-ness, disconnect th9 airbag conn"ctorlsl.. During installltion or teplacemsnt. do not bump(impact w.cnch, hamm€r stc.l the area noar tho SRSunit.
NOTE:
o Do not damage the SRS unit terminals or connectors.. Do not disassemble the SRS unit; it has no service-able parts,
. Store the SRS unit in a clean, dry a.ea,. Do not use any SRS unit which has be€n subjected towater or shows signs of being dropped or improperlyhandled. such 8s dents, cracks or deformation.
1. Disconnect the bsttery negative cable. then discon-nect the positive cable from the battery, and wait atleast three minutes.
2. Disconnect the airbag connector{s}:
NOTE: When disconnected, the airbag connector isautomatically shorted,
Driver's Side:
. Remove the access panel from the steering wheel.then disconnect the 2P connector between the driv_er's airbag and cable reel (see page 24-11).
Front Passenge/s Side:. Disconnect the 2P connector between the tront oas_senger's airbag and SRS main harness (see page 24-11).

COVER

In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure
resistance between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can
make a DVOM give a false reading. To check
a reading, reverse the leads, and take a
second reading. lf the readings differ, the
component is affecting lhe measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit.
A iumper wire is made up ot an in-line fuse
holder connected to a set of test leads. lt
should have a five amoere fuse. Never
connect a jumper wire across a short circuit.
The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locater)
Short finders are available to locale shorts to
ground. The short tinder creates a pulsing
magnetic field in the shorted circuit whlch you
can follow to the location of the short. lts use
is explained on page 15.
SHORT FINDER
To ordei any test equipment shown above,
contact your local tool supplier. For a list of
suppliers and tool numbers, refer to Honda
Required Special Tools and Equipment
Service Bulletin.

Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of
charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unlers
the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, or you will damage the
alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine wlth
the ground cable disconnected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have
no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure lhat connectors without wire
seals are packed with dielectric (silicone)
grease. Part Number: 08798-9001 .
Pack wllh dlelectrlc (sillcons) greass
When connecting a connector, push it until it"clicks" into place.
Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting a connector. Pull
only on the connector houslngs.
Most circuits Include solid-state
devlces. Test the voltages In these
circuits only with a lo-megaohm or
higher impedance digital multlm6ter.
Never use a test light or analog meter
on chcuits that contain solld-state
devices. Damage to the devices
may result.
