Scrapped Vehicle
Some vehicles to be scrapped may have an undeployed inflator module. Follow these procedures when scrapping a vehicle with an undeployed module:
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove key. Remove steering wheel side cap (left side) and disconnect driver-side inflator module connector. Remove glove box and disconnect passenger-side inflator module connector. Remove both front pillar lower trim panels and disconnect seat belt pretensioner connectors.
- Using Deployment Harness (09932-75030), short the two deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other. Connect deployment harness connector to air bag inflator module connector (driver-side, passenger-side or pretensioner). Lock connector with lock lever. Route harness out of vehicle and stretch harness to its full length 33 ft. (10 m). See Fig 1.CAUTION: Air bag will deploy immediately when power source is connected. Deployment wires must remain shorted and not be connected to power source until air bag is to be deployed. Connecting deployment wires to power source should always be the final step in deployment procedure.
- Remove all loose objects from front seat and ensure no one is in vehicle. Completely cover windshield area and front door window openings with a drop cloth or blanket. Separate the two banana plugs on deployment harness.
- Connect harness to a 12-volt battery to immediately deploy driver-side, passenger-side air bag or pretensioner. Repeat procedure for other air bag or pretensioner. DO NOT touch inflator module area for 10 minutes due to heat generated during deployment. Wear gloves and safety glasses before handling a deployed air bag or pretensioner. Wash hands with soap and water afterward.
