Airbag Module Deployment (Inside of Vehicle): Deployment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Reno, 2008 Suzuki Forenza, 2007 Suzuki Reno, and 2007 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: The Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) can maintain sufficient voltage to deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1 minute after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been removed. If the airbags and pretensioners are not disconnected, do not begin service until 1 minute has passed after disconnecting power to SDM. If the airbags are disconnected, service can be done immediately without waiting for 1-minute time period to expire. Failure to temporarily disable the SIR during service can result in unexpected deployment, personal injury and unnecessary SIR repairs.
  1. Disconnect both battery cables and place the battery at least 10 meters (33 feet) from the vehicle.
  2. Remove the driver side knee bolster or instrument panel lower cover from the steering column. Refer to DRIVER'S SIDE KNEE BOLSTER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or .
  3. At the lower steering column, cut the two wires leading from the Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR) harness to the clock spring.
  4. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in.) of the insulation from the end of the wires leading to the clock spring.
  5. Use two additional wires, each at least 10 meters (33 feet) long, to reach from the deployment battery to the inflator module.
  6. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in.) of the insulation from the end 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 clock spring, make two splices, one at each wires from the airbag modules.
  10. Wrap the wires with insulation 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 will deploy.
  14. Repeat this procedure for the passenger airbag, side airbags and pretensioners.
  15. Using proper precautions, dispose of the deployed airbags/pretensioners. Refer to Deployed Airbag Module Disposal Procedure  .
