Procedure 1 (On-Vehicle Deployment)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mitsubishi Galant. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Before proceeding, follow air bag service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS . Open all doors and windows. Move vehicle to an isolated area. Disconnect negative battery cable and wrap tape around cable terminal.
- Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing. Remove steering column lower cover. Disconnect clockspring 2-pin Red connector.
- Remove glove box and glove box outer case. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module 2-pin Red connector. Make a harness with two 20-foot (or longer) wires. Connect wires at one end of this harness to SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "A" (MB686560). Wrap connections with insulating tape.
- Temporarily connect other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag deployment. Connect SRS air bag adapter harness "A" to clockspring 2-pin Red connector. Run 20-foot wires outside of vehicle as far away as possible from vehicle.
- Ensure there are no loose parts in passenger compartment and no one is within 20 feet of vehicle. Make another 20-foot wire harness. Connect it to passenger-side air bag module 2-pin Red connector using another SRS air bag adapter harness "A". Run 20-foot wires outside of vehicle.
- Deploy driver-side air bag by connecting ends of 20-foot wires to terminals of a 12-volt battery, then deploy passenger-side air bag. If air bags fail to deploy, go to PROCEDURE 2 below. After deployment, allow air bag modules to cool and dust to settle for at least 30 minutes before approaching vehicle.
