Deployment Procedures For Air Bag Module (Outside of Vehicle)

DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES FOR AIR BAG MODULE (OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE)
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 (J-41246-A)] in a vise secured to a firm foundation during deployment.

Deployment of Driver Air Bag Module (Outside of vehicle)
1. Using wire, secure driver air bag module to air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] at two places.

CAUTION: Use wire of at least 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter.

2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] with air bag module attached, in a vise.




3. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] to driver air bag module connector. If adapter is required, use SST: KV99109000 (J44230).




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 driver air bag module will deploy.

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

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




1. Make an 8.5 mm (0.335 in) diameter hole in air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] at the position shown in figure.




2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J- 41246-A)] in a vise.




3. Match the two holes in air bag module bracket (held in vise) and front 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 front passenger air bag module and air bag module bracket, use a piece of wood inserted in the gap to stabilize the front passenger air bag module.




4. Connect deployment tool adapter [SST: KV99108300 (J38381- 35)] to deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] connector and front passenger air bag module connector.
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 front passenger 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 front passenger 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-A)] at the position shown in figure.




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

CAUTION: Front side air bag module should be secured to air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J-41246-A)] in a vise with metal portion facing down.




4. Connect deployment tool adapter [SST: KV99108300 (J38381- 35)] to deployment tool [SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] connector and connector on 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.
7. Press the button on the deployment tool. The left side lamp on the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage", will illuminate and the front side air bag module will deploy.

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