AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]
WARNING:
- A live (undeployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally operate (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.
- If the vehicle is to be scrapped, or when disposing of any air bag modules or pre-tensioner seat belts, operate (deploy) them inside the vehicle by following the deployment procedure below and using the SST (Deployment tool).
- When disposing of an operated (deployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, refer to "AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES".
Deployment Procedure for Inside of Vehicle
1. Inspect the SST (Deployment tool). Tools and Equipment
2. Move the vehicle to an open space, away from strong winds, and close all of the vehicle doors and windows.
3. Switch the ignition to off.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. Removal and Replacement Removal and Replacement Removal and Replacement
5. Follow the procedure below for operating (deploying) the applicable 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. Two-Step Deployment Control System
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. Two-Step Deployment Control System
4. Connect the SST (Deployment tool) to the SST (Adapter harness).
5. Connect the SST (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 the SST (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
7. Verify that all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} way 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 if the air bag module operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again. If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before approaching 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) form the SST (Adapter harness).
