Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain
situations may arise which will necessitate the disposal
of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This
information covers proper procedures for disposing of
a live air bag assembly.
Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it
must be deployed. A live air bag assembly must not
be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPE
R
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED
OF THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.
THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
CONTAINS SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE
SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE
SEALED CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING
DISPOSAL. DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNE
R
INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER PROCEDURES
MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND
/
OR LOCAL LAW.
In situations which require deployment of a live air bag
assembly, deployment may be accomplished inside or
outside the vehicle. The method employed depends
upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as
noted in “Deployment Outside Vehicle” and
“Deployment Inside Vehicle” in this section.
Deployment Outside Vehicle (Driver Air
Bag Assembly)
Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the
vehicle is to be returned to service. This includes, for
example, situations in which the vehicle will be
returned to useful service after a functionally or
cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced.
Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning air bag
assembly is, of course, subject to any required
retention period.
For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag
assembly outside the vehicle, the deployment
procedure must be followed exactly. Always wear
safety glasses during this deployment procedure until
a deployed air bag assembly is scrapped or until an
undeployed air bag assembly is shipped. Before
performing the procedures you should be familiar with
servicing the SRS and with proper handling of the air
bag assembly. Procedures should be read fully
before they are performed.
The following procedure requires use of 5-8840-2468-
06 SRS deployment harness with appropriate pigtail
adapter. Do not attempt procedure without 5-8840-
2468-0 adapter. WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWE
R
SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT
HARNESS TO THE DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY.
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT. WEA

7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six
feet) in diameter where the driver air bag assembl
y
is to be deployed. A paved, outdoor location
where there is no activity is preferred. If an
outdoor location is not available, a space on the
shop floor where there is no activity and sufficien
t
ventilation is recommended. Ensure no loose or
flammable objects are within the deployment area.
060R300029
8. Place the driver air bag assembly, with its trim
cover facing up, on the ground in the space just
cleared.
9. Stretch the SRS deployment harness and pigtail
adapter from the driver air bag assembly to its full
length.
10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the
SRS deployment harness. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.
11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail
adapter on the SRS deployment harness.
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is
to be deployed. The driver air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a powe
r
source is connected to it.
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated
into the driver air bag assembly connector. Failure to
fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting ba
r
located in the driver air bag assembly connecto
r
functioning (shorted) and may result in nondeployment
of the driver air bag assembly.
12.
Verify that the area around the driver air bag
assembly is clear of all people and loose o
r
flammable objects.
13.
Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting
with its trim cover facing up.
14. Notify all people in the immediate area that you
intend to deploy the driver air bag. The
deployment will be accompanied by a substantial
noise which may startle the uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS
deployment harness.
Page 39 of 4264
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9A-19
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot) vertically.
This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the driver air bag.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the
power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag. Recommended application: 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is
suggested.
17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the
power source.
18. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads
together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other.
19. In the unlikely event that the driver air bag
assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 24
through 26. If 19. the driver air bag assembly did
deploy, proceed with Steps 20 through 23.
20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to
protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed
driver air bag assembly. After the air bag assembl
y
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue. This power consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by products of the chemical
reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE O
R
PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND
SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH
THE METAL AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED DRIVER AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS
COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AI
R
BAG OR TRIM COVER.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly as soon after deployment as
possible. This will prevent damage to the pigtail
adapter or SRS deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot driver air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter can be
reused. They should, however, be inspected fo
r
damage after each deployment and replaced i
f
necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembl
y
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled
for at least 30 minutes.
23. Wash your hands with mild soap and wate
r
afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not
deploy after following these procedures.
24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has
been disconnected from the power source and that
its two banana plugs have been shorted togethe
r
by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai

which is commonly sold as an edible salt-
substitutes. even if water is applied. Post
deployment products are relatively pH neutral.
Disposing the inflator by burying it in a landfill will
not products any hazardous products. As with an
y
dusty environment, safety goggles, dust mask and
gloves should be worn.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
HOT DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN FIRE O
R
PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the
metal canister and surrounding areas of the ai
r
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the
metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag
assembly must be moved before it is cool, wea
r
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires b
y
twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness.
32. Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean
off any fragments or discard drop cloth entirely.
33. Disconnect driver deployment harness and
passenger deployment harness from vehicle and
discard.

34.In the unlikely event that either or both of the air
bag assemblies did not deploy after following
these procedures, proceed immediately with Steps
36 through 37. If the air bag assembly deployed,
proceed to step 35.
35. With both air bags deployed, the vehicle may be
scrapped in the same manner as a non–SRS
equipped vehicle.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the air bag assembly did not deplo
y
after following these procedures.
36. Remove the undeployed air bag assembly (s) from
the vehicle. For driver air bag assembly refer to in
the “Drive Air Bag Assembly Removal“in this
manual. For passenger air bag assembly refer to
in the “Passenger Air Bag Assembly Removal” in
this manual.
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH O
R
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND
TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE SURFACE.
THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE SPACE IS
PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL
DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
37. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the ai
r
bag opening facing up, away from the surface
upon which it rests.
Deployed Air Bag Assembly Handling
Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to
protect your hands and eyes from possible irritation
and heat when handling the deployed air bag
assembly.
After the air bag assembly 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. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to
lye soap) is produced as a by product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture and is
converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely
that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O
R
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS” from left dash side lowe
r
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenge
r
air bag assembly replacement” in this section.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side
lower fuse block or connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65
C (150
F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.
Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following
components and replace as required:
