Operation inside the vehicle
Before scrapping a vehicle equipped with airbags, deploy the airbags inside the vehicle. Frontal and side airbags, as well as other elements of the system, must under no circumstances be reused on other vehicles.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" ("Turned off"), disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal and wait at least three minutes.
2. Make sure the front and side airbags are installed properly.
3. Verify that the special tool is functioning properly before performing the following procedures.
Driver Airbag:
1. Remove the driver's airbag and install the special tool (0957A-38500).
2. Install the driver's airbag in the steering wheel.
Front Passenger Airbag:
1. Remove the glove box, then disconnect the two-pin connector located between the front passenger airbag and the main SRS cable (SRS).
2. Install the special tool (0957A-38500).
Side airbag:
1. Disconnect the two-pin connector located between the side airbag and the side harness.
2. Install the special tool (0957A-3F100).
Curtains:
1. Disconnect the two-pin connector located between the curtain airbag and the wiring harness.
2. Install the special tool (0957A-38500).
Seat belt pretensioner and anchor pretensioner:
1. Disconnect the two-pin connector from the pretensioner.
2. Install the special tool (0957A-38500).
General operations
4. Position the deployment device at least 10 meters away from the airbags.
5. Connect a 12V battery to the fixture.
6. Operate the implement actuator by moving the switch to the appropriate position. The airbags should deploy (at this time, a distinct sound is heard: a loud noise and instantaneous inflation of airbags, and then their delayed deflating).
7. Place the deployed airbag module in a heavy duty vinyl bag and seal the bag tightly.
