Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner
Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Activated Seat Belt PretensionerWARNING:
- The air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner immediately after deployment/activation is very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it off before proceeding the work.
- Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and to activate seat belt pretensioner.
- After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical reaction. As with many service procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be worn.
- Wash your hands with mild soap and water after completing the work.
Refer to the procedure described under Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal:Except Advanced Air Bag for disposal.
Air Bag Wire Harness and Connector
Air bag wire harness is included in main harness (1), instrument panel harness (2), floor harness (3) and seat harness (4). Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as the part of connector side wire harness is covered with a yellow protection tube. Be very careful when handling it.
- When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
- When installing it, be careful so that the air bag wire harness is not caught or does not interfere with other parts.
- Make sure air bag system grounding point (5) is clean and ground is securely fastened for optimum metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.
