Passenger's (Front) Air Bag Module Deployment Inside The Vehicle

CAUTION: Two connectors are installed to allow the passenger's air bag module to deploy in two stages. To ignite the 1st and 2nd squibs one after another, observe the following procedure:
  1. Move the vehicle to flat and isolated spot.
    CAUTION: Disconnect the battery cable connection, and wait for 60 seconds or more before starting the work.
  2. Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
  3. Disconnect the passenger's (front) air bag module harness side connector (1st squib side). (Refer to PASSENGER'S (FRONT) AIR BAG MODULE  ).
  4. Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of passenger's (front) air bag module harness side connector (1st squib side). After releasing the lock, disconnect the connector.
    NOTE: When the passenger's (front) air bag module harness side connector is disconnected from the inflator, the two pins of inflator connector are automatically shorted. This prevents the unintentional deployment of passenger's (front) air bags caused by the static or others.

  5. Cut the part shown to connect the adapter harness (Special tool: MB991885) to the driver's airbag module connector (only when deploying the 2nd squib).
    NOTE: This is because the 2nd squib connector is different in shape.

  6. Connect the deployment wires of 6 m (19.7 feet) or more to each of the two wiring harnesses of special tool adapter harness (MB991885), and cover the connection areas with insulation tape. Keep the other ends of deployment wires connected to each other (shorted).
    NOTE: This prevents the unintentional activation of inflator caused by the static or others.

    WARNING: If the glass is scratched, the glass may be shattered at deployment. Therefore, cover with a vehicle cover to avoid danger.
  8. In order to suppress the operation sound as much as possible, fully close all the door windows, close the doors, and then cover the vehicle with a vehicle cover.

    CAUTION:
    • Make sure that no one is present inside or near the vehicle before deploying the air bag.
    • Immediately after the air bag deployment, the inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before handling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more to cool.
    • If the air bag module does not deploy, consult with your distributor.
  9. Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a place as far as possible from the vehicle. Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle battery to deploy the air bag module.
  10. Deploy the 2nd squib according to steps 3 to 9.
  11. Discard the deployed air bag module according to the disposal procedures (Refer to DISCARD OF DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE  ).
