Deployment Procedure For Inside of Vehicle

AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES

WARNING: A live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally deploy when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt. If the SSTs (Deployment tool and Adapter harness) are not available, consult the nearest Mazda representative for assistance.

CAUTION:
- Deploying the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts inside the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, always deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts inside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.

NOTE: When disposing of a deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, refer to the disposal procedure.

Deployment Procedure for Inside of Vehicle (Only When Vehicle Is To Be Scrapped)

1. Inspect the SST (Deployment tool).
2. Move the vehicle to an open space, away from strong winds, and close all of the vehicle's doors and windows.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute.
5. Follow the appropriate procedure for deploying the driver-side air bag module, passenger-side air bag module, side air bag module, curtain air bag module, or pre-tensioner seat belt.

Driver-side air bag module

WARNING: The driver-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy), the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both driver-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.

NOTE: The SSTs, two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No.1 and No.2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the driver-side air bag module.

1. Remove the driver-side air bag module.

2. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the driver-side air bag module as shown in the figure
3. Install the driver-side air bag module.

4. Connect the SST (Deployment tool) to the SST (Adapter harness).
5. Connect both SSTs (Deployment tool) to the battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
6. Verify that the red lamp on both SSTs (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
7. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} away from the vehicle.
8. Press the activation switch on the SST (Deployment tool) connected with 49 L066 002 (a yellow connector) of the SST (Adapter harness), and after 3 s, press the activation switch on the other SST (Deployment tool) to operate (deploy) the air bag module (both inflators).

WARNING:
- Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice, if no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury because the air bag module may operate (deploy) accidentally, if the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again. In case that the two operation (explosive) sounds in total are not verified even through Step 8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before getting near it again.
- The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can get burned. Do not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.

9. Disconnect the SST (Deployment tool) from the SST (Adapter harness).

Passenger-side air bag module

WARNING: The passenger-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy), the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both passenger-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.

NOTE: The SSTs, two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No.1 and No.2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the passenger-side air bag module.

1. Remove the glove compartment.
2. Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector.

3. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the passenger-side air bag module as shown in the figure.

4. Connect the SST (Deployment tool) to the SST (Adapter harness).
5. Connect both SSTs (Deployment tool) to the battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
6. Verify that the red lamp on both SSTs (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
7. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} away from the vehicle.
8. Press the activation switch on the SST (Deployment tool) connected with 49 L066 002 (a yellow connector) of the SST (Adapter harness), and after 3 s, press the activation switch on the other SST (Deployment tool) to operate (deploy) the air bag module (both inflators).

WARNING:
- Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury because the air bag module may operate (deploy) accidentally. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again. In case that the two operation (explosive) sounds in total are not verified even though Step 8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before getting near it again.
- The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can be burned. Do not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.

9. Disconnect the SST (Deployment tool) from the SST (Adapter harness).
10. Connect the SST (Deployment tool) to the SST (Adapter harness).
11. Perform Steps 5 through 8, in order to deploy the passenger-side air bag module.
