Procedure 2 (Off-Vehicle Deployment)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage and 1995 Eagle Summit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Shield cable end. Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
  2. Remove air bag module. Place air bag module on ground at least 20 feet away from people or objects. Air bag module trim cover must face upward to prevent movement of air bag module when it is deployed.
  3. Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connect wires at one end of this harness to stripped wires of SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "B" (MB628919) for driver-side air bag, or SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560) for passenger-side air bag.
  4. Wrap connections with insulating tape. Temporarily connect other ends of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag deployment. Connect appropriate adapter harness to air bag module connector. Place a tire without a rim over the air bag module so rim hole surrounds air bag module. Stack 3 more tires on top of first tire. Connect ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery.
  5. After air bag module deploys, let it cool off and allow dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching. Tightly seal deployed air bag module in a strong vinyl bag and dispose of air bag as you would any other part.
