WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE INFLATOR
MODULE OR
WHEN LEAVING A LIVE INFLATOR
MODULE
UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER
SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER
UP AND 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 MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
6. Place the driver inflator module on a work bench or
other surface away from all loose
or flammable
objects with its vinyl trim cover facing up, away from
the surface.
7. Clear a space on the ground about 185 em (six feet)
in diameter where the driver inflator module 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 sufficient ventilation is recommended.
Ensure no loose or flammable objects are within the
deployment area.
8. Place the driver inflator module, 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 inflator module 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 inflator module to the pigtail
adapter on the SRS deployment harness.

connected to a power source until the air bag is to be
deployed. The driver inflator module will immediately
deploy the air bag when a power source is connected
to
it.

9J-18 Supplemental Restraint System
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated
into the driver inflator module connector. Failure to fully
seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar located
in the
driver inflator module connector functioning
(shorted) and may result
in non-deployment of the driver
inflator module.
12. Verify that the area around the driver inflator module
is clear of all people and loose or flammable objects.
13. Verify that the driver inflator module is resting with its
trim cover facing up.
14. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you
intend to deploy the driver inflator module. The
deployment will be accompanied by a loud noise
which may startle the uninformed.
15.
Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS
deployment harness.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the driver inflator
module may jump about
30 em (one foot) vertically. This
is a normal reaction of the driver inflator module 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 loud noise. Notify all people
in the
immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver
inflator module.
16. Connect the
SRS deployment harness wires to the
power source to immediately deploy the driver
inflator module. 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 inflator module did
not deploy after following these procedures, proceed
immediately with
Steps 24 through 27. If the driver
inflator module did deploy, proceed with
Steps 20
through 23.
20. Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands
from possible irritation and heat when handling the
deployed driver inflator module.After the driver
inflator module 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 byproducts of the chemical
reaction.
Sodium hydroxide dust( similar to lye soap)
is produced as a byproduct
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 unlikely that sodium hydroxide
will be present after deployment. As a precaution,
however, gloves and safely glasses are
recommended to prevent any possible irritation of
the skin or eyes.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN
HANDING A DEPLOYED
INFLATOR MODULE. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE ~
METAL SURFACES OF THE INFLATOR MODULE
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
DEPLOYED
INFLATOR MODULE NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
After a driver inflator module has been deployed, the
metal canister and surrounding areas
of the driver
inflator module will
be very hot. Do not touch the metal
areas of the driver inflator module for about twenty
minutes after deployment.
If the deployed driver inflator
module must
be moved before it is cool, wear gloves and
handle by the air bag or trim cover.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver inflator
module 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 inflator module canister. The pigtail can be
reused. They should, however, be inspected for
damage after each deployment and replaced if
necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed driver inflator module
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled
for at least
20 minutes. ~
23. Wash your hands with mild soap and water
afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the driver inflator module 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 together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail

adapter from the driver inflator
module.

SRS DRIVER/PASSENGER LOAD TOOL
The SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool J-41433 is used
only when called for in this section. It is used as a
diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent
inflator
module deployment.
The
load tool has four yellow connectors attached to its
case.
The three
small connectors are electrically functional
and serve as resistive
load substitutions. The large
dummy connector does not serve as a load substitution
but
merely takes the physical place of the DERM
connector when needed.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One
of the small connectors is used to substitute for the load
of the driver inflator module when it is connected at the
top of the
column to the SRS coil assembly. Another
small connector is used to substitute for the load of the
driver inflator
module and the SRS coil assembly when
it is connected at the base of the
column to the SRS
wiring harness. The third small connector is used to
substitute for the
load of the passenger inflator module
when connected to the passenger inflator module
harness connector.
By substituting the resistance of the
load tool when called
for, a determination can be made as to whether an
inflator circuit component is causing system malfunction
and which component is causing the malfunction. The
load tool should be used only when specifically called for
in the diagnostic procedures.
