Driver-side Air Bag Module
Warning
• The driver-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy),
the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag
module, make sure to operate (deploy) both driver-side air bag module inflators simultaneously,
following the procedure below.
Note
• The SSTs, two types of adopter harnesses (for inflators No.1 and No.2) and two deployment tools are to
be used to operate (deploy) the driver-side air bag module.
1. Remove the driver-side air bag module.
(See 08-10-6 DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Connect the SSTs (Adapter harness) to the
driver-side air bag module as shown in the figure.
3. Install the driver-side air bag module.
(See 08-10-6 DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4. Connect the SSTs (Deployment tool) to the
SSTs (Adapter harness).

5. Connect both SSTs (Deployment tool) to the battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the positive battery
terminal, and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
6. Verify that the red lamp on both SSTs (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
7. Verify that all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} away from the vehicle.
8. Press the activation switch on the SST
(Deployment tool) connected with 49 L066 002
(a yellow connector) of the SST (Adapter
harness), and after 3 s, press the activation
switch on the other SST (Deployment tool) to
operate (deploy) the air bag module (both
inflators).
Warning
• Verify that air bag module operation
(explosive) sound occurs twice. If no
operation (explosive) sound was heard or
a single operation (explosive) sound was
heard, both inflators would not have
operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury if the air bag module operates
(deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again.
If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed
again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before approaching it again.
• The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can get burned. Do
not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.
9. Disconnect the SSTs (Deployment tool) form the SSTs (Adapter harness).
