3. Connect two wires each six meters (20 feet) long
or more, to the two leads of SRS AIR BAG ADAPTER
HARNESS A and cover the connections with insula-
tion tape. The other ends of the two wires should
be connected to each other (short-circuited), to pre-
vent sudden unexpected deployment of the air,bag.
4. Connect the passenger's air bag module 2-pin con-
nector (red) to the SRS air bag adapter harness A
and take the deployment harness out of the vehicle.
(3) At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible,
disconnect the two connected wires from each other, and
connect them to the two terminals of the battery (removed
from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
Caution
1. Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first
check to be sure that there is no one in or near
the vehicle. Wear safety glasses, suitable ear
protection.
2. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following
the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to
allow it to cool before attempting to handle it.
Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from
air bag deployment.
See Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Proce-
dures (PS2B-87) for post-deployment handling
instructions.
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy when the
procedures above are followed, do not go near
the module. Contact your local distributor.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Caution
1. This operation should be done at a spacious and
flat place where there is no people and obstacle
around within a radius of more than 8 m (20 feet).
2. Do not perform deployment outside, if a strong wind
is blowing, and if there is even a slight breeze, the
air bag module should be placed and deployed down-
wind from the battery.
(1) Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables
from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery
from the vehicle.
