Driver's Air Bag Module Deployment Outside The Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Deploy the air bag in the wide open, flat place with a distance of 6m (20 feet) or more from obstacles and people.
  • When deploying the air bag in the open space, do not deploy when the strong wind is blowing. Even with a slight breeze, ignite at the windward of the air bag module.
CAUTION: Disconnect the battery cable connection, and wait for 60 seconds or more before starting the work.
  1. Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
    CAUTION: When the connector is disconnected, the two pins of air bag module are automatically shorted to prevent the unintentional deployment caused by the static or others. However, in preparation for the accidental deployment, store the air bag module on a flat place with the deployment surface facing upward. Also, do not put anything on it.
  2. Remove the driver's air bag module from the vehicle (Refer to DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING  ).
  3. Connect the deployment wires of 6 m (20 feet) or more to each of the two wiring harnesses of special tool adapter harness (MB991885), and cover the connection areas with insulation tape. Keep the other ends of deployment wires connected to each other (shorted).
    NOTE: This prevents the unintentional activation of inflator caused by the static or others.

  4. Connect the adapter harness to the driver's air bag module (2nd squib side).
  5. To the torx screw installation hole located at the backside of air bag module, tie a thick wire for fixing the wheel.

    CAUTION:
    • Make sure that no one is present near the air bag module before deploying the air bag.
    • Immediately after the air bag deployment, the inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before handling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more to cool.
    • If the air bag module does not deploy, consult with your distributor.
  8. Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a place as far as possible from the air bag module. Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle battery to deploy the air bag module.
  9. Discard the deployed air bag module according to the disposal procedures (Refer to AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES ).
