Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle
Special Tools Required
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, or right side seat belt outer lap tensioner (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the part(s) must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the Honda District Parts and Service Manager must give approval and/or special instructions before deploying the part(s). Only after the part(s) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the parts appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, and right side seat belt outer lap tensioner should be deployed while still in the vehicle. These parts should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
-
Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes.
-
Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, seat belt tensioner, or right side seat belt outer lap tensioner is securely mounted.
-
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
Driver's Airbag
