6. Short two deployment harness leads 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 until you are ready to deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt pretensioner.
7. Connect adapter cable (B), (C) or (D) in series with deployment harness (A) to air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as follows.
^ For driver air bag (inflator) module:
Connect adapter cable in series with deployment harness (A) and push adapter cable (B) connector to driver air bag (inflator) module connector till click can be heard.
^ For passenger air bag (inflator) module:
Connect adapter cable (B) in series with deployment harness (A) and push adapter cable (B) connector to passenger air bag (inflator) module connector till click can be heard.
^ For side-air bag (inflator) module:
Connect adapter cable (B) in series with deployment harness (A) and push adapter cable (B) connector to side bag (inflator) module connector till click can be heard.
^ For side curtain-air bag (inflator) module (hatchback model):
Connect adapter cable (C) in series with deployment harness (A) and push adapter cable (C) connector to air bag (inflator) module connector till click can be heard.
^ For side curtain-air bag (inflator) module (sedan model):
Connect adapter cable (D) in series with deployment harness (A) to air bag (inflator) module and lock connector with lock part.
^ For seat belt pretensioners:
Connect adapter cable (D) in series with deployment harness (A) to seat belt pretensioner and lock connector with lock part.
8. Route deployment harness (1) out of vehicle.
9. Check that inside of vehicle and area surrounding vehicle are clear of all people and loose or flammable objects.
10. Stretch deployment harness (1) to its full length 10 m (33 ft).
11. Place 12 volts vehicle battery (2) near shorted end of deployment harness (1).
12. Completely cover windshield area and front door window openings with drop cloth, a blanket or any similar item. This reduces possibility of injury due to possible fragmentation of vehicle's glass or interior.
13. Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt pretensioners.
NOTE:
^ When air bag (inflator) module deploys or seat belt pretensioners activate, 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 to activate seat belt pretensioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
^ After air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, surface of air bag may contain powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate air bag (inflator) module as it inflates) and by-products of chemical reaction.
WARNING:
^ Do not place deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioners near any flammable objects.
^ Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioners.
^ After driver / passenger air bag (inflator) module has been deployed wait for about 10 minutes before touching any part of its module.
^ After air bag (inflator) module and/or seat belt pretensioner have been deployed or activated, wait for about 30 minutes before touching any metal surface of air bag (inflator) 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
14. Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment harness (2).
15. Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.
16. Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
17. Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners which has not been deployed / activated, if any.
18. In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioners after following these procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24) through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with Steps 19)through 23).
19. Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean off any fragments or discard it entirely.
20. Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioners.
21. 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.
22. Check adapter cable connector as follows.
Adapter cable connector (special tool) is designed to be reused. However it should be inspected for damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.
23. With air bag (inflator) modules deployed and seat belt pretensioners activated, vehicle may be scrapped in the same manner as non-air bag system / seat belt pretensioner equipped vehicle.
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.
24. Remove undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and/or inactivated seat belt pretensioner (s) from vehicle. For driver air bag (inflator) module, refer to Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation:Advanced Air Bag. For passenger air bag (inflator) module, refer to Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation:Advanced Air Bag. For side air bag (inflator) module, refer to Side-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation:Advanced Air Bag. For side curtain-air bag (inflator) module, Side Curtain-Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and Installation:Advanced Air Bag. For seat belt pretensioner, refer to Front Seat Belt Removal and Installation.
25. Temporarily store undeployed air bag (inflator) module referring to Precautions on Handling and Storage of Air Bag System Components:Advanced Air Bag for details.
