Driver-side air bag module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • The driver-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If the inflators are activated (deployed) one by one, the other side may be activated (deployed) unexpectedly. To prevent injury when disposing of the air bag module, always activate (deploy) both inflators on the driver-side air bag module using the following procedure.
  1. Remove the driver-side air bag module. (See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL (US/CANADA) .)
  2. Connect the processing wiring harness to the driver-side air bag module.

  3. Install the driver-side air bag module. (See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE INSTALLATION (US/CANADA) .)
  4. Verify that all persons are standing at least 6 m {19 ft} away from the vehicle.
  5. Untwist the processing wiring harness.
  6. Connect the processing wiring harness to the lead-acid battery and activate the inflator.
WARNING:
  • Check that the air bag module makes two activation sounds (explosion sounds). If there is no or only one activation sound (explosion sound), the inflators on both sides have not activated (deployed) properly, and may cause injury due to unexpected activation (deployment). If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step  6 again. If the two activation sounds (explosion sounds) cannot be verified even after performing Step  6 again, wait for 30 min or more and then approach the air bag module.
  • The air bag module is very hot immediately after activation (deployment) and can cause burns if touched. Leave the actuator alone for approx. 15 min or more after activation (deployment) to let it cool down before handling.
