LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air
bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module, or an object in front
of the air bag (inflator) module, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver, passenger and side). It is very
dangerous as the electric current from the tester may
deploy the air bag.
• Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator) modules.
• If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with new
one as an assembly.
• When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to deploy it before
discarding it.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on the air
bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger and side of driver
and passenger), wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth.
• If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height of 90
cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an
assembly.
WARNING:
• For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
• When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
