Tool number: A: KV99106400 (J-38381)
B: KV99105300 (J-38381-80)




4. Connect red clip of the Tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.

Tool number: KV99106400 (J-38381)

5. The lamp on the right side of the Tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
6. Press the button on the Tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage", will illuminate and the air bag module will deploy.

CAUTION:
- When deploying the front passenger air bag module, do not stand on the deploying side.
- Stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the air bag module.

Deployment of Front Side Air Bag Module (Outside of vehicle)




1. Make 6.5 mm (0.256 in) diameter holes in air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246)] at the positions shown.




2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246)] in a vise.
3. Insert the stud bolts of side air bag module into the two holes in air bag module bracket (held in vise) and fix them with two M6 nuts.

CAUTION: Side air bag module should be secured to air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J41246)] in a vise with stud bolt side facing down.




4. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J-38381)] connector to connector on air bag module using deployment tool adapter [SST: KV99109000 (J-44230)].




5. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
6. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
7. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage", will illuminate and the air bag module will deploy.

CAUTION: When deploying the front side air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the air bag module.

Deployment of Side Curtain Air Bag Module (Outside of vehicle)

NOTE: The side curtain air bag module has a front and rear inflator that are connected by the fabric of the side curtain air bag. Follow the procedure to cut the fabric from the inflators, and then follow the procedure to deploy each inflator.




1. Cut the inflator from side curtain air bag module.




2. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J-38381)] to the inflator using deployment tool adapter (J-38381-80).




3. Put the inflator connected with the deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J-38381)] into a tire without a wheel.




4. Put the tire with the inflator onto another tire without wheel. Add an additional tire without a wheel and then a tire mounted on a wheel on top.

CAUTION: Tie all tires together with a strap in order to keep them standing.

5. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
6. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
7. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage", will illuminate and the air bag module will deploy.

CAUTION: When deploying the side curtain air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the side curtain air bag module.

8. Repeat this procedure to deploy the second inflator.
