Background information regarding the destruction of non-triggered SRS components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. 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.
