8B-4 RESTRAINTS
5. Use two additional wires, each at least 10 meters
(33 feet) long, to reach from the deployment battery
to the airbag module.
6. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the insulation from the
ends of these two additional wires.
7. Twist the two wires together at one end.
8. Place the twisted ends of the two wires near the
deployment battery. Do not connect the wires to
the battery at this time.
9. Using the free ends of the 10 meters (33 feet) wires
leading to the airbag module, make two splices,
one at each wires from the airbag module.
10. Wrap the splices with insulating tape.
11. Now that the free ends of the 10 meters (33 feet)
wires are spliced to the airbag module wires and
the ends that are twisted together are near the
deployment battery, clear the area.
12. Untwist the wires that near the deployment
battery.
13. Touch one wire to the positive battery terminal and
touch the other wire to the negative battery
terminal. The airbag module will deploy.
14. Refer to "DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE" in this section.
Airbag Module Discard (Passenger)
The passenger airbag deployment is the same
procedure of the driver's. Remove the glove box
instead of the contact coil and cut two passenger
airbag wires.
Refer to "AIRBAG MODULE DISCARD (DRIVER)" in
this section for more information.
Airbag Module Deployment (Outside Vehicle)
Deploy airbag modules in following situations:
•
If the airbag module is removed in the discarded
vehicle.
•
If the airbag module is replaced due to any fault.
•
If an airbag module is damaged during transfer,
storage or servicing.
Observe following precaution if the airbag is
deployed:
•
Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated area.
Service mechanics should be at least 10 meters
(33 feet).
•
Do not connect the voltage source until after having
completed all other preparations for the deployment
of the airbags.
•
Allow a deployed airbag module or pretensioner to
cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
•
If the deployment fails, disconnect the voltage
source and wait 5 minutes before approaching the
vehicle.
1. Position the airbag module face up, on flat
ground outdoors, at least 10 meters (33 feet)
from any obstacle or people.
2. Place a vehicle battery at least 10 meters (33
feet) away from the airbag module.
3. Deploy the airbag module using the deployment
tool. If you do not have deployment tool, cut the
two additional wires to the airbag module and
strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the insulation from the
end of the wires leading to the airbag module.
4. Refer to "DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE" in this section.
Deployed Airbag Module Disposal
Procedure
After deployment, a powdery residue may be on the
surface of the airbag. The powder consists primarily
of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates)
and by-products of the chemical reaction. Sodium
hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
YAD8B050
by-product of the deployment reaction. The sodium
hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and
sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda}.
Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be
present after deployment. Wear gloves and eye
protection during the disposal procedure.
After deployment, the metal surfaces of the airbag
module will be hot. In order to avoid the risk of an
injury or a fire, do not place the deployed airbag module
near any flammable objects, and allow the airbag
module to cool for 30 minutes before handling. Deploy
an airbag or pretensioner before disposing of it.
This includes those in a whole vehicle being scrapped.
If the vehicle is still within the warranty period contact
the SsangYong regional service manager for approval
or special instructions before deploying an airbag
module or pretensioner.
