- MB991885: Adapter Harness
|
|
|
1.Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
|
|
|
2.
| danger |
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before
doing any further work (Refer to ).
|
| warning |
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
|
Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the
battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
|
|
|
3.Remove the cover (Refer to <Except RALLIART>, <RALLIART>).
|

|
4.Slide the outer housing of the driver’s air bag module connector in the arrow
direction shown, and disconnect the connector.
| note |
When the driver’s air bag module connector is disconnected from the inflator,
the four pins of inflator connector are automatically shorted. This prevents the unintentional
deployment of driver’s air bags caused by the static or others.
|
|

|
5.Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special
tool MB992102, and cover the connections with insulator tape. The other ends of the deployment
wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of
the air bag module.
| note |
This prevents the air bags from being unintentionally deployed because of the static and others.
|
|

|
6.Connect the special tool MB992102 to the driver’s air bag module, and then pull
out the deployment wire to outside the vehicle.
|

|
| warning |
If the windshield glass is scratched, air bag deployment could cause it to crack and fly
out of the vehicle, so always put a cover over the vehicle.
|
7.To suppress the sound as much as possible, completely close all door windows, close
the doors and put a cover on the vehicle.
| warning |
- Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first check to be
sure that there is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.
- The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to handle it. Although not poisonous, do not
inhale gas from the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner
Disposal (Refer to
) for post-deployment handling instructions.
- If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near the module.
|
8.At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible, disconnect the two connected
wires from each other, and connect them to the two terminals of the battery (which has been
removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag. 9.After deployment, dispose of the air bag module according to the Deployed Air Bag

- Operate the seat belt pre-tensioner in a wide, flat area at least 6 meters (20 feet)
away from obstacles and other people.
- Do not perform operation outside if a strong wind is blowing. If there is a slight
breeze, place the seat belt pre-tensioner downwind from the battery.
|
Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the
battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
|
|
|
2.
| warning |
Store the seat belt pre-tensioner on a flat surface with its operation
surface facing up. Do not place anything on top of them.
|
Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the vehicle (Refer to ).
|

|
3.Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special
tool MB991885, and cover the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the deployment
wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected operation
of the seat belt pre-tensioner.
| note |
This prevents the unintentional activation of inflator caused by the static or others.
|
4.Connect the special tool MB991885, which the deployment wires is attached to, to the
seat belt pre-tensioner connector. 5.
| caution |
The adapter harness below the wheel should be loose. If it is too tight,
the reaction when the seat belt pre-tensioner operates could damage the adapter harness.
|
Pass the thick wires through the hole on the seat belt pre-tensioner bracket and secure
them to the front (raised part) of the wheel in two places.
|

|
6.Pull the seat belt out to the outside of the tire, and then place one tire without a wheel
on top.
|

|
7.
| warning |
- Before operation, check carefully to be sure that no one is nearby.
- The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the operation, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to handle it. Although not poisonous, do not
inhale gas from seat belt pre-tensioner operation. See Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated
Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to
) for post-operation
handling instructions.
- If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate, do not go near the seat belt pre-tensioner.
|
At a location as far away from the seat belt pre-tensioner as possible, and from a shielded
position, disconnect the two connected wires from each other, and connect them to the two terminals
of the battery (which has been removed from the vehicle) to operate the seat belt pre-tensioner. 8.Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as specified in Deployed Air Bag Module
and Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ).
|
|
|
After deployment and operation, the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner should
be disposed of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering to local laws and/or
legislation. Observe the following precautions during air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner disposal:
|
|
|
1.The inflator will be quite hot immediately following deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it cool before attempting to handle it.
|
|
|
2.Do not put water or oil on the air bag after deployment or on the seat belt pre-tensioner
after operation.
|
|
|
3.
| warning |
If after following these precautions, any material does get into the eyes
or on the skin, immediately rinse the affected area with a large amount of clean water. If any
irritation develops, seek medical attention.
|
There may be material on the deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner,
that could irritate the eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling
a deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner.
|

|
4.Tightly seal the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner in a strong plastic bag for
disposal. 5.Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this operation.
