Front passenger's air bag module
(1) Remove the front passenger's air bag module from
the vehicle. (Refer to P.52B-52.)
Caution
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the front
passenger's air bag module connector short
automatically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of the
accidental deployment, store the air bag module
on flat place with deployment surface facing up.
Also, do not put anything on it.
(2) Connect deployment harness 6 m or longer with the
SRS air bag adapter harness respectively. Insulate
the connection with tape.
Also, connect the other ends of the deployment
harness each other to short, thereby preventing the
front passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.
(3) Route the SRS air bag adapter harness with the
deployment harnesses beneath an old tyre and wheel
assembly. Then, connect the harnesses to the front
passenger's air bag module.
(4) Route a thick wire through the holes in the front
passenger's air bag module bracket. With the
deployment surface facing up, secure the front
passenger's air bag module to the old tyre and wheel
assembly.
Caution
1) The adapter harness below the wheel should
be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the
air bag deploys could damage the adapter
harness.
2) Place the connector of the SRS air bag adapter
harness so that it is not clamped by the tyre at
deployment.
(5) Put three old tyres without wheels on the tyre secured
to the front passenger's air bag module. Secure all
the tyres with ropes (4 locations).
NOTE
The tyres must be bound because the passenger's
air bag inflates more than the driver's air bag.
