Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAz-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners (including
those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle
tensioners must be deployed. lf the vehicle is still within
the warranty period, the Honda District Service
Manager must give approval and/or special instruction
before deploying the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt
buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result of
vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
lf the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, and
seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed),
treat them with extreme caution. Follow this Drocedure.
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle
lf an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its
airbags, side airbags. seat belt tensioners. and seat belt
buckle tensioners should be deoloved while still in the
vehicle. The airbags, side airbags, seat belttensioners,
and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be
considered as salvageable parts and should never be
installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the
battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, or seat belt
tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Conf irm that the specia I tool isfunctioning properly
by following the check procedure on the tool label.

then disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector
from the cable reel (see step 2 on page 23-21).
Front Passenger's Airbag:
5. Lowerthe glove box, then disconnectthe front
passenger's airbag 4P connector from dashboard
wire harness B (see step 3 on page 23-211.
Side Airbag:
6. Disconnect the side airbag 2P connectors from the
floor wire harness (see step 4 on page 23-211.
Seat belt tensioner:
7. Disconnect the seat belt tensioner 2P connectors
from the floor wire harness {see step 5 on page 23-
22). Pull the seat belt out all the way, and cut it off.
Seat belt buckle tensioner:
8, Disconnect the seat belt buckle tensioner 4P
connectors from the floor wire harness (see step 6
on page 23-221.

)
9. Cut off each connector, strip the ends of the wires,
and connect the deployment tool alligator clips (A)
to the wires. Place the deployment tool at least 30
feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's airbag and the front passenger's
airbag each have four wires, two yellow and two
red. Twist each Dair of unlike colored wires
together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.

!
10. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
. lf the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter
circuit is defective and cannot deDlov the
component. Go to Disposal of Damaged
ComDonents.. lf the red light on the tool comes on, the
component is ready to be deployed.
11. 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).
. lf the components deploy and the green light on
the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
. lf a component doesn't deploy, yet 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 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
12. Dispose ofthe complete airbag. No pan of it can be
reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal

by following the check procedure on this page or
on the tool label.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors, on flat
ground, at least 30 feet (10 meters) from any
obstacles or DeoDle.
3. Follow steps 9 through 1 1 of the in-vehicle
