7) Place a power source (3) near the shorted end of the deploy-
ment harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts mini-
mum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
8) Verify that the area around the air bag (inflator) module or
seat belt pretensioner is clear of all people and loose or flam-
mable objects.
9) Verify setting condition of air bag (inflator) module or preten-
sioner as follows.
[In case of driver air bag (inflater) module]
Verify that the driver air bag (inflator) module is resting with
its vinyl trim cover facing up.
[In case of passenger air bag (inflator) module]
Verify that the passenger air bag (inflator) module is firmly
and properly secured in passenger air bag (inflator) module
deployment fixture (special tool).
[In case of seat belt pretensioner]
Verify that the seat belt pretensioner, is placed as shown in
the figure on the ground in the space just cleared.
10) Connect (2) the air bag (inflator) module or seat belt preten-

deploy/activate the air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pre-
tensioner.
[A] : For Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module
[B] : For Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Module
[C] : For Seat Belt Pretensioner
NOTE:
• When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
• When the driver air bag deploys and the pretensioner
activates, driver air bag (inflator) module and preten-
sioner (retractor assembly) may jump about 30 cm (1
ft) vertically. This is a normal reaction of them to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag and
pretensioner.
• After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
