On-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 . Move vehicle to an isolated area. Open all doors and windows. Disconnect negative battery cable and shield cable end. Disconnect positive battery cable. Remove battery from vehicle. Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
  2. To deploy driver-side air bag module, remove steering column lower cover. Disconnect lower clockspring Yellow 4-pin connector. Cut harness side of connector from wire harness and strip ends of driver-side air bag module wires on harness side of clockspring connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  3. To deploy passenger-side air bag, remove glove box and glove box outer case. Disconnect passenger-side air bag module Red 2-pin connector.
  4. To deploy side impact air bag, disconnect applicable side impact air bag module Red 2-pin connector, located under front seat.
  5. To deploy seat belt pretensioner, disconnect applicable seat belt pretensioner connector, located at seat belt pretensioner.
  6. Fabricate a deployment harness using two wires at least 20 feet (6.1 m) in length. Strip insulation from ends of wires. Connect wires at one end of harness to clockspring connector stripped wires and cover connections with insulating tape. Temporarily wrap other end of harness wires together to prevent unexpected air bag deployment.
  7. Stretch deployment harness as far away from vehicle as possible. Roll up vehicle windows to lessen deployment noise and cover vehicle with car cover, in case glass should shatter during deployment. Ensure area is clear of people. Untwist deployment harness wire ends. Touch wire ends to 12 volt battery terminals to deploy driver-side air bag module.
  8. Repeat procedure for remaining air bags and seat belt pretensioners. Use SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness (MB686560) for passenger-side and side impact air bag modules. Use SRS Adapter Harness (MR991885) for seat belt pretensioners. If any component fails to deploy, stay away from vehicle and contact manufacturer for further instructions. Allow 30 minutes for air bag modules to cool.
