WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before deploying air bag, inspect operating condition of Deployment Tool (49 H066 002). See INSPECTING DEPLOYMENT TOOL . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM.
  2. Remove driver-side air bag module. See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Install bolts into holes located in rear of air bag module. Position air bag module on scrap rim and tire assembly with trim pad facing upward. Using strong wire, attach air bag module to wheel rim, wrapping wire around rim and bolts at least 4 times. See Fig 1.
  3. Connect deployment tool to air bag connector. Stack 3 scrap tires on top of wheel which air bag is attached. Place another scrap rim and tire assembly on top of entire stack and tie stack together with strong rope. Connect Red clip of deployment tool to positive battery terminal and Black clip of deployment tool to negative battery terminal. Verify deployment tool Red light is on.
  4. Ensure all persons are at least 20 feet from air bag module. Press deployment tool activation switch to deploy air bag.
