To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both passenger-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.
NOTE:
  • The SSTs, two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No. 1 and No. 2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the passenger-side air bag module.

    WARNING:
    • Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury if the air bag module operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step  10 again. If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 10 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before approaching it again.
    • The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can get burned. Do not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.
  11. Disconnect the SST (Deployment tool) from the SST (Adapter harness).
