Passenger's Air Bag

Unless the vehicle is being scrapped, deploying the air bag in the vehicle is not recommended. This may cause damage to the vehicle interior.
Anchor air bag module bracket [KV99105300 (J41246)] in a vise secured to a firm foundation during deployment.

Deployment of Passenger Air Bag Module (Outside of vehicle)






1. Make an 8.5 mm (0.335 in) diameter hole in air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300 (J41246)] at the position shown in figure at left.






2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket [SST: kV99105300 (J41246)] in a vise.






3. Match the two holes in air bag module bracket (held in vise) and passenger air bag module and fix them with two bolts [M8 x25 - 30 mm (0.98 - 1.18 in)].

CAUTION: If a gap exists between passenger air bag module and air bag module bracket, use a piece of wood inserted in the gap to stabilize the air bag module.






4. Connect deployment tool adapter
[SST: KV991065S0 (J3838130)] to deployment tool
[SST: KV99106400 (J38381)] connector and air bag module connector.

5. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.
6. The lamp on the right side of the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow green, not red.
