On-Vehicle Deployment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Kia Sedona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: After deployment, components are very hot. Personal injury may result. Wait at least 20 minutes before handling a deployed component.

Open all doors and windows on vehicle. Remove vehicle battery. Wait at least 30 seconds. Remove center console side cover. Disconnect Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) connector. Disconnect all air bag system component electrical connectors. Selecting one component at a time, connect Air Bag Deployment Tool (K95U-6000-BDY) to component connector.
Position deployment tool and battery as far from vehicle as possible. Connect Red deployment tool lead to positive battery terminal and Black deployment tool lead to negative battery terminal. Verify that deployment tool Green POWER indicator is illuminated. Depress and hold READY button. Verify that deployment tool Yellow DEPLOY indicator is illuminated.
Depress and hold DEPLOY button. Selected SRS component should deploy. If component does not deploy, verify that Red DEPLOY indicator is illuminated. Release both buttons. Verify that both READY and DEPLOY indicators are not illuminated. Disconnect deployment tool power leads. Wait at least 30 minutes before approaching component. Contact manufacturer for additional instructions.
After deployment, deployed component will be extremely hot. Allow each component to cool for 20 minutes before handling. Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when handling SRS components. Place deployed component in a plastic bag and seal tightly. Component can now be disposed of in the same manner as any other scrap part.
