Deployment/Activation Outside of Vehicle
When you intend to return the vehicle to service, deploy the air bag (inflator) module(s) or activate seat belt pretensioner(s) outside of the vehicle.1. Turn ignition switch to 'LOCK' position and remove key.
2. Wear safety glasses during this deployment/activation procedure.
3. Check that there is no open, short or damage in special tools (deployment harness (A) and adapter cable (B)). If any faulty is found, do not use it and be sure to use new deployment harness (A).
Special tool
(A): 09932 - 75030
(B): 09932 - 78331
NOTE: If faulty of seat belt pretensioner connector of adapter cable (B) is found, replace it to spare connector (special tool).
4. Short two deployment harness leads (1) together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
WARNING: Deployment harness (A) shall remain shorted and not be connected to 12 volts vehicle battery till you are ready to deploy air bag module or activate seat belt pretensioner.
5. Remove air bag (inflator) module(s) or seat belt pretensioner(s) from vehicle referring to "Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation" "Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation" or "Front Seat Belt Components".
WARNING:
- For handing and storage of live air bag (inflator) module, select place where ambient temperature below 65 °C (150 °F), without high humidity and away from electric noise.
- Always carry live air bag (inflator) module with trim cover away from you.
- When storing live air bag (inflator) module or when leaving live air bag (inflator) module unattended on bench or other surface, always face trim cover up and away from surface. As the live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the workbench with a slit (1). This is necessary so that free space is provided to allow air bag (inflator) module to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal injury.

12. Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to deploy/activate air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner.
NOTE:
- When air bag (inflator) module deploys and seat belt pretensioner activates, rapid gas expansion will create substantial report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt pretensioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
- When driver air bag (inflator) module deploys, driver air bag (inflator) module may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is normal reaction to force of rapid gas expansion inside of drive air bag (inflator) module.
- After air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, surface of air bag (inflator) may contain powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate bag (inflator) as it inflates) and by-products of chemical reaction.
WARNING:
- Do not place deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioner near any flammable objects.
- Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioner.
- Walt for about 30 minutes before touching any metal surface of air bag (inflater) module or seat belt pretensioner module. Disregarding these precautions may cause fire or personal injury.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal injury.
13. Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment harness.
14. Connect deployment harness to 12 volts vehicle battery (2). This will immediately deploy or activate air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner.
15. Disconnect deployment harness from 12 volts vehicle battery (2) and short two deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
16. In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner did not deploy/activate after following these procedures, proceed immediately with Step 23) through 26). If air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner did deploy or activate, proceed with Steps 18) through 22).
17. Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling deployed air bag (inflator) module or activated seat belt pretensioner.
18. Disconnect adapter cable (special tool) from air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as soon as possible. This will prevent adapter cable (special tool) from damage due to possible contact with hot air bag (inflator) module or hot seat belt pretensioner.
19. Check adapter cable connector as follows.
a. For air bag (inflator) module
Air bag (inflator) module connector of adapter cable (special tool) are designed to be reused. However they should be inspected for damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.
b. For seat belt pretensioner
Seat belt pretensioner connector of adapter cable (special tool) must be replaced to spare connector (special tool).
NOTE: Do not reuse seat belt pretensioner connector of adapter cable (special tool) because it will be destroyed by shock when seat belt pretensioner is activated.
20. Dispose of deployed air bag (inflator) module (1) or activated seat belt pretensioner (2) through normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at least 30 minutes and tightly seal air bag (inflator) module (1) or seat belt pretensioner (2) in strong vinyl bag. Refer to "Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal" in detail.
21. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.
NOTE: Remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module did not deploy or seat belt pretensioner did not activate.
22. Ensure that deployment harness has been disconnected from 12 volts vehicle battery and that its two banana plugs have been shorted together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
23. Disconnect deployment harness and adapter cable from air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner.
24. Temporarily store undeployed air bag (inflator) module or unactivated seat belt pretensioner referring to "Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Air Bag System" or "Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat Belt" for details.
25. Contact your local distributor for further assistance.
