Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consist of an inflatable air bag
assembly and an inflator (a canister of gas–generating
material and an initiating device). When the vehicle is in a
frontal crash of sufficient force.
The SDM causes current flow through the deployment
loops. Current passing through the inflator ignites the
material in the air bag assembly. The gas produced from
this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembly
connector which connects the SRS coil assembly. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembly
circuits when driver air bag assembly connector is
disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in this
way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag
when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the steering
column or other SRS components.
827RS008There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly connector which connects to the SRS harness.The shorting clip shorts across the passenger air bag
assembly circuit when the passenger air bag assembly
connector is disconnected. The circuit to the passenger
air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the
passenger air bag assembly, the instrument panel or
other SRS components.
827RS001
Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock exceeding
a specified level, the controller lets current flow to the
inflation circuit. The current ignites the cylinder of the seat
belt, producing gas. The gas helps tighten the seat belt to
restrain firmly the driver’s upper half in his seat.

Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 93
C (200F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SDM should not be used if they
have been dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the
arrow on the sensor pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. It is very important for the SDM to be located
flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SDM 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 may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.
Air Bag Assembly Handling /
Shipping / Scrapping
Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the air bag assembly, or an object in front of
the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
827RV004
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING IS
POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL THEN
DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY.
NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THEWIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF
THE MODULE.
Pretensioner Seat Belt Handling /
Shipping / Scrapping.
Live (undeployed) pretensioner seat belt.

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

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

surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue.
Th is p ow de r con sis ts prim a r ily of c or n sta r ch ( u sed 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.
