Checking Deployment Tool

CONNECTING TO BATTERY
Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m (20 ft) on all sides.

CAUTION: The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more. Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged. Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle. Wait 10 to 12 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before proceeding. Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal and black clip to negative terminal.




DEPLOYMENT TOOL CHECK
Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow with a green light. It the right side lamp glows red, reverse the connections to the battery.

Press the deployment tool switch to the "ON" position. The left side lamp in the tool, marked "air bag connector voltage" should illuminate. If it does not illuminate, replace the tool.
