Procedure 1 (On-Vehicle Deployment)
- Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . Open all doors and windows. Move vehicle to an isolated area. Disconnect negative battery cable and wrap tape around cable terminal.
- Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery from vehicle. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing. Remove steering column lower cover. Disconnect clockspring 2-pin Red connector.
- Open glove box. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module 2-pin Red connector. Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connect wires at one end of this harness to SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560). See Figure . Wrap connections with insulating tape.
- Temporarily connect other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag deployment. Connect SRS air bag adapter harness "A" to clockspring 2-pin Red connector. Route 20-foot wires outside of vehicle, as far away as possible from vehicle.
- Make another 20-foot wire harness. Connect it to passenger-side air bag module 2-pin Red connector using another SRS air bag adapter harness "A". See Figure . Route 20-foot wires outside of vehicle.
- Ensure there are no loose parts in passenger compartment and no one is within 20 feet of vehicle. Deploy driver-side air bag by separating ends of harness and connecting ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery, then deploy passenger-side air bag. If air bags fail to deploy, contact local distributor. After deployment, allow air bag modules to cool and dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching vehicle.
