AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]

id0810b1801100

Warning

• Never dispose of an air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt that has not been operated (deployed). Otherwise, they may accidently operate (deploy) and cause serious injury.

Caution

• When disposing of any air bag modules or pre-tensioner seat belts, activate (deploy) them by following the deployment procedures below.

• To dispose of an activated (deployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt, refer to [AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES]. (See AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

Note

• The air bag module, the pre-tensioner seat belt, and the connector part of the processing wiring harness are melted by high heat when the inflator is activated (deployed).

• The SRS air bag system can be identified by whether or not the seat track position sensor is present.

― Standard deployment control system: Without seat track position sensor

― Two-step deployment control system: With seat track position sensor

Preparation Before Servicing

1. Switch the ignition off.

2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait for 1 min or more. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(E)].)

3. Cut the location of the repair part [BCKA-67SH2] as shown in the figure and remove the vinyl tube.

4. Check the rib shape of the connector and select a wiring harness that matches the inflator.

a30zzw00002921

5. Connect the wiring harness selected in Step 4 to a wire that meets all of the following requirements. (See REPAIR CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT/WIRING HARNESS CONNECTION.)

a30zzw00004486

• Conductor cross sectional area 0.5 mm²{0.0008 in²}} or more (conductor diameter 0.85 mm {0.033 in})

• Length 6 m {19 ft} or more

Warning

• When connecting the processing harness to the inflator, the inflator may unexpectedly activate (deploy) due to static electricity and cause injury. Before connecting the processing wiring harness to the inflator, peel off the end coating of the wires and short-circuit them by twisting them.

6. Before connecting to the inflator, peel off the end coating of the wires and short-circuit them by twisting them to prevent accidental explosion due to static electricity.

7. Activate (deploy) the relevant air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt.

Activation (deployment) inside the vehicle

• Driver-side air bag module (See Driver-side air bag module.)

• Passenger-side air bag module (See Passenger-side air bag module.)

• Knee air bag module (See Knee air bag module.)

• Side air bag module (See Side air bag module.)

• Curtain air bag module (See Curtain air bag module.)

• Front pre-tensioner seat belt (See Front pre-tensioner seat belt.)

• Rear pre-tensioner seat belt (See Rear pre-tensioner seat belt.)

Activation (deployment) outside the vehicle

Activation (Deployment) Inside The Vehicle

Driver-side air bag module

Warning

• The driver-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If the inflators are activated (deployed) one by one, the other side may be activated (deployed) unexpectedly. To prevent injury when disposing of the air bag module, always activate (deploy) both inflators on the driver-side air bag module using the following procedure.

1. Remove the driver-side air bag module. (See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
