“pigtail” components are the driver air bag assembly, the
passenger air bag assembly, and the SRS coil assembly.
On–Vehicle Service
Service Precaution
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
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 SDM 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 SDM is
removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“C–21” 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 “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Remove SRS fuse C–21, from left dash side lower
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow 2–pin connector at the base of

Bag Assembly Replacement” in this manual.
4. Disconnect yellow 2–pin connector behind the glove
box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “C–21” 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
CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle. Use only the air bag assembly for
Trooper.
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow 2–pin connector passenger air bag
assembly.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–12
Deployed Air Bag Assembly (Driver Side)
“You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag
assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag
may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate
c o n s i s t s p r i m a r i l y o f b y p r oducts of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds
of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper
Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate.”
Deployed Pretensioner Seat Belt.
You should wear gloves and safety glasses. After the
pretensioner seat belt has been deployed, the surface of
the pretensioner seat belt cylinder may heating up.
Air Bag Assembly and/or Pretensioner
Seat Belt Scrapping Procedure.
During the cause of vehicle’s useful life, certain situations
may arise which will necessitate the disposal of a live air
bag and/or pretensioner seat belt. (This information
covers proper procedures for disposing of a live air bag
assembly and/or pretensioner seat belt.)
Before a live air bag assembly can be dispose off, it must
be deployed.
A live air bag assembly and/or pretensioner seat belt
must not be disposed of though normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. AN UNDPLOYED 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 MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER
PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF 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.
Cautions About Air Bag Deployment And
Disposal
Failure to follow proper procedures could result in
erroneous air bag deployment which may cause personal
injury be sure to follow proper procedures.
1. Turn off (Lock) the ignition switch and disconnect the
minus terminal of the battery, then start the work 15 or
more sec later. (Air bag is designed to work by the
back-up power source even if the battery power
source is cut off at vehicle collision).
2. Be sure not to disassemble the air bag.
3. Do not give an impact to the air bag and bring the air
bag close to magnet. (The air bag could deploy
unexpectedly).4. Place the air bag with its trim cover up.
5. Do not let the air bag deploy directly on the floor. (The
air bag may be blown off 2
3 m (6.5 or 10 feet)).
6. Be sure to install the air bag firmly to a deployment
tool (fixing tool).
7. Set a battery 10 m (33 feet) or more away from the air
bag.
8. Before disconnecting air bag harness, ground the
worker by touching the vehicle outer panel with bare
hand.
9. When connecting or disconnecting the harness, do
not work just in front of the air bag.
10. As deployment gives rise to big sound, warn the
people around against it. Further, try to reduce the
sound by covering the steering wheel or tires, and
shut the vehicle windows in case of deployment
inside the vehicle.
11. As deployment generates smoke, select a well
ventilated place. (In case of deployment indoors,
avoid deployment just under a fire alarm, smoke
sensor, and fluorescent lamps).
12. Be careful not to inhale the smoke after deployment.
13. If part of the vehicle glass is damaged, cover the
vehicle with a car cover to prevent the glass from
braking at the time of deployment.
14. Do not touch the air bag immediately after
deployment, since it remains hot for 30 minutes.
15. Do not water the air bag immediately after
deployment.
16. Wear safety glasses and gloves throughout the work
and wash the glasses and gloves after the work.
17. Do not reuse the removed air bag for another vehicle.
(Deployment characteristic is different with vehicle
types).
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 5–8840–2468–0
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
Page 3451 of 6000

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–14
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 power 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 bar located in
the driver air bag assembly connector 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 or 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.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 3 m (ten feet) 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 deploy 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 air
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 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 assembly has been
deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a
powdery residue. This solid particulate consists
primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust.
Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium
Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride
may be found in amounts of about 1 % (each) of the
total particulate.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AIR 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 OR 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 AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY 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 air 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 for damage after each deployment and
replaced if necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembly
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled for
at least 30 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 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 together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver air bag
assembly.

connector from the vehicle leaving at least 15 cm (six
inches) of wire at the connector.
5. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from yellow –
green and yellow – black wire lead of the connector.
6. Cut two 900 cm (30 feet) deployment wires from 0.8
mm
(18 gauge) or thicker multi–strand wire. These
wires will be used to fabricate the driver deployment
harness.
7. Strip 13 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from both ends of
the wires cut in the previous step.
8. Short the wires by twisting together one end from
each. Deployment wires shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is to
be deployed.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–24
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into
the pretensioner seat belt assembly connector. Failure to
fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar
located in the pretensioner seat belt assembly connector
functioning (shorted) and may result in nondeployment of
the pretensioner seat belt assembly.
13. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS
deployment harness.
NOTE: When the pretensioner seat belt deploys, the
rapid gas expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify
all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy
the pretensioner seat belt.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE PRETENSIONER SEAT
BELT IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE PRETENSIONER
SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY
DEPLOY THE PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT
ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
14. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the
power source to immediately deploy the pretensioner
seat belt. Recommended application: 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is
suggested.
15. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the
power source.
16. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads
together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other.
17. In the unlikely event that the pretensioner seat belt
assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 21
through 24. If the pretensioner seat belt assembly did
deploy, proceed with Steps 15 through 20.
18.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. AFTER
DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL SURFACES OF THE
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WILL BE
VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR MODULE TO
COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION
OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
AFTER A DRIVER PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT
ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEPLOYED, THE METAL
CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE
DRIVER PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL
AREAS OF THE PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT
ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED PRETENSIONERSEAT BELT ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE
IT IS COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT OR TRIM COVER.
19. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the pretensioner
seat belt 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 pretensioner seat belt assembly
canister. The pigtail adapter can be reused. They
should, however, be inspected for damage after each
deployment and replaced if necessary.
20. Dispose of the deployed pretensioner seat belt
assembly through normal refuse channels after it has
cooled for at least 30 minutes.
21. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the pretensioner seat belt assembly
did not deploy after following these procedures.
22. 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.
23. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the pretensioner
seat belt assembly.
24. Remove the undeployed pretensioner seat belt from
the special tool.
WARNING: W H E N S TO R I N G A L I V E
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY OR WHEN
LEAVING A LIVE INFLATOR MODULE UNATTENDED
ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS PUT
THE PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT HORIZONTAL
PLACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE
SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE
PRETENSIONER SEAT BELT TO SHRINK IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.
25.Temporarily store the pretensioner seat belt
assembly with its deployment device facing up, away
from the surface upon which it rests.
Deployment Inside Vehicle (Pretensioner
Seat Belt Vehicle Scrapping Procedure)
Deployment inside vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to
be destroyed. This includes, but is not limited to, the
following situations:
1. The vehicle has completed its useful life.
2. The vehicle has been damaged beyond repair in a
nondeployment type accident.
3. The vehicle has been stripped or damaged beyond
repair in a theft.
NOTE: The vehicle will be salvaged for component parts
to be used on a vehicle with a different Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) as opposed to being rebuilt
as same VIN. Never use pretensioner seat belt
components from another vehicle.
