Deployment Outside the Vehicle
Air Bag Module Bracket Secured To A Vise:
Unless the vehicle is being scrapped, deploying the air bag in the vehicle is not recommended. This may cause damage to the vehicle interior.
Anchor air bag module bracket [KV99105300 (J41246)] in a vise secured to a firm foundation during deployment.
Deployment Of Driver's Air Bag Module (outside Of Vehicle)
Securing Driver's Air Bag Module To Bracket:
1. Using wire, secure air bag module to air bag module bracket [SST kV99105300 (J41246)] at two places.
CAUTION: Use wire of at least 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter.
2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV991 05300 (J41246)] with air bag module attached, in a vise.
Connecting Deployment Tool To Air Bag Module:
3. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] to air bag module connector.
Connecting Deployment Tool To Battery:
4. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
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 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 air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the air bag module.
Deployment Of Passenger Air Bag Module (outside Of Vehicle)
Air Bag Module Bracket:
1. Make an 8.5 mm (0.335 in) diameter hole in air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J41246)] at the position shown.
Air Bag Module In Vise:
2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV991 05300 (J41246)] in a vise.
Matching Air Bag Module With Bracket:
3. Match the two holes in air bag module bracket (held in vise) and passenger air bag module and fix them with two bolts [M8 x 25 - 30 mm (0.98 - 1.18 in)].
CAUTION: If a gap exists between passenger air bag module and air bag module bracket, use a piece of wood inserted in the gap to stabilize the air bag module.
Connecting Deployment Tool Adapter:
4. Connect deployment tool adapter [SST: KV991065S0 (J38381 - 30)] to deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] connector and connector on either side of air bag module.
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.
Deploying Air Bag:
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 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 Side Air Bag Module (outside Of Vehicle)
Anchoring Side Air Bag Module:
1. Firmly anchor side air bag module in a vise.
- The side air bag module must be installed in an oblique direction, not in a vertical direction. Refer to the figure at the left.
Proper Installation Of Side Air Bag Module:
2. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] to side air bag module connector.
Connecting Air Bag Module To Deployment Tool:
3. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
4. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
5. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag module connector voltage", will illuminate and the air bag module will deploy.
CAUTION: When deploying the air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the air bag module.
