Outside Vehicle

1. Disconnect then remove battery from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting battery cable before doing any further work. SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy air bag for a short time even after battery has been disconnected.

2. Remove air bag module as described in Airbag Module Replacement.
3. Connect two wires, 20 feet in length, to two leads of special SRS air bag adapter harness B tool No. MB628919 (driver) or harness A No. MB686560 (passenger), or equivalent, and cover connections with tape.
CAUTION:
Other ends of two wires should be connected to each other to prevent unexpected deployment of air bag.

4. Place air bag module with pad cover facing upward, in a flat spacious area at least 20 feet away from any people, equipment or other objects.
5. Connect SRS air bag adapter harness B to air bag module connector.
6. Install four nuts and bolts on rear side of module and tie with thick wire.
7. Take SRS air bag adapter harness B, pass beneath a tire and wheel assembly, then connect to air bag module.
8. Insert air bag module onto wheel and tire assembly, then secure with wires attached to bolt holes, with air bag module facing upward. Leave some space below wheel for deployment wires.
9. Place three tires without rims on top of wheel and tire assembly with air bag module attached.
10. From as far away as possible in a shielded position, disconnect two connected wires from each other and connect them to a 12 volt battery. Read following cautions before proceeding.
CAUTION:
a. Do not perform deployment outside, if a strong wind is blowing and if there is even a slight breeze air bag should be deployed downwind from battery.
b. Ensure no people are nearby. Air Bag module will jump upward about 5-10 feet into air.
c. Inflator will be quite hot immediately after deployment, wait 30 minutes to allow air bag to cool.
d. Do not inhale gas from air bag.
