Off-vehicle Deployment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Shield cable end. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing. Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery from vehicle.
  2. Fabricate a deployment harness using two wires at least 20 feet (6.1 m) in length. Strip insulation from ends of wires. Twist together one end of wires temporarily. Remove driver-side air bag module. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION . Place driver-side air bag module on surface face up. Touch vehicle body with bare hands to discharge static electricity from body. Cut driver-side air bag module connector from pigtail lead. Strip insulation from ends of pigtail wires. Attach remaining ends of deployment harness to pigtail leads. Wrap connections with electrical tape.
  3. Secure driver-side air bag module to an old tire and wheel. Run harness wires through air bag module mounting hole, through hole in wheel and out beneath tire. Stack 3 more tires on top of first tire. Tie tires together with rope in four locations. Untwist ends of deployment harness. Connect ends of deployment harness to terminals of a 12-volt battery to deploy air bag module. If air bag module fails to deploy, go to step  7. If air bag module deploys, wait at least 30 minutes for air bag module to cool before touching. Go to next step.
  4. Remove remaining components. For passenger-side air bag modules and seat belt pretensioners, place component on ground at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from people or objects. Ensure trim cover of passenger-side air bag module is facing up. For side impact air bag modules, position seat back so rear side of seat back is in contact with ground surface, at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from people or objects.
  5. Make a deployment harness using two wires at least 20 feet (6.1 m) in length. Temporarily twist wires on one end of harness together to prevent unexpected deployment. Connect wires at other end of harness to stripped wires of SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness "B" (MB686560) for passenger-side or side impact air bag modules or SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness (MR991885) for seat belt pretensioners.
  6. Wrap connections with insulating tape. Connect appropriate adapter harness to component connector. If deploying passenger-side air bag module or seat belt pretensioner, secure component to a scrap tire and wheel. Run harness wires through air bag module mounting hole, through hole in wheel and out beneath tire. Stack 3 more tires on top of first tire. Tie tires together with rope in four locations.
  7. To deploy applicable component, connect ends of deployment harness to terminals of a 12-volt battery. If any component fails to deploy, stay away from component. Contact manufacturer for further instructions. After deployment, allow at least 30 minutes for component to cool before touching. Tightly seal deployed component in a strong plastic bag and dispose of it as you would any other part.
