Scrapped Vehicle

Some vehicles to be scrapped may have an undeployed SIR module. Follow these procedures when scrapping such a vehicle:

  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove SIR fuse. Disconnect Yellow 2-pin connector at base of steering column. On passenger-side air bag models, disconnect Yellow 2-pin connector under right side of instrument panel. On all models, cut harness side of SIR wiring approximately 3-6" from Yellow 2-pin connector.
  2. Splice 2 wires at least 20 feet long to wiring cut from SIR harness. Connect Yellow 2-pin connector.
  3. Ensure inflator module is secured to steering wheel. Remove all loose objects from front seat, and ensure no one is in vehicle. Stretch wires as far away from car as possible.
  4. Connect wires to a 12-volt battery. Air bag should deploy. DO NOT touch inflator module area for 20 minutes due to heat generated during deployment. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling deployed air bag. Wash hands with soap and water afterward.
