Passenger-side air bag module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • The passenger-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy), the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both passenger-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.
NOTE:
  • The SSTs  , two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No. 1 and No. 2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the passenger-side air bag module.
  1. Remove the glove compartment.
  2. Disconnect the passenger-side air bag module connector.
  3. Connect the SST  (Adapter harness) to the passenger-side air bag module as shown in the figure.

  5. Connect both SSTs  (Deployment tool) to the battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
  6. Verify that the red lamp on both SSTs  (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
  7. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft}  away from the vehicle.
  8. 8. Press the activation switch on the SST  (Deployment tool) connected with 49 L066 002 (a yellow connector) of the SST  (Adapter harness), and after 3 s  , press the activation switch on the other SST  (Deployment tool) to operate (deploy) the air bag module (both inflators).
    WARNING:
    • Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury because the air bag module may operate (deploy) accidentally. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step  8 again. In case that the two operation (explosive) sounds in total are not verified even though Step  8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before getting near it again.
    • The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can be burned. Do not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.
