(4) Release the secured connector of the steering
wheel - driver’s air bag module assembly to cut off
the connector from the harness with a nipper and
etc. Connect deployment harnesses to each of two
separated harnesses and cover the area with
insulation tape.
(5) Use a rope to tie the steering wheel - driver’s air bag
module assembly to secure old tyres with wheels.
(6) Route the deployment harness connected to driver’s
air bag module beneath old tyres with wheels. Then,
secure the steering wheel - driver’s air bag module
assembly with the deployment surface facing up.
(7) Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre
secured with the driver’s air bag module.
(8) Separate the deployment harnesses as far from the
driver’s side air bag module as possible and connect
to the terminals of the battery removed from the
vehicle. Then deploy.
Caution
1) Before the deployment, see that no one is near
around the driver’s air bag module.
2) The deployment makes the inflator of the
driver’s air bag very hot. Before handling the
inflator, wait more than 30 minutes for cooling.
3) If the driver’s air bag module fails to deploy
although the procedure is respected, do not go
near the module. Contact your local
distributor.
(9) Discard the deployed air bag module as specified
in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
