Background Information Regarding The Destruction Of Non-Triggered SRS Components
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A tool kit with mounting devices, discharge box and adapter cables has been developed for the destruction of electrically activated pyrotechnic SRS components that have been disconnected and removed from the vehicle.
Activation of the SRS component destroys its pyrotechnic component. This is to be done with the component secured in the fixture included in the kit.
For components with different versions for different models, only an example of securing and connection is shown.
Destruction is carried out by connecting an adapter cable to the component and then connecting the cable to a 12 V battery via a discharge box, whereby the component can be activated.
