Live and Undeployed Inflator Module
Warning: Refer to SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Warning in the Preface section.
Take special care when handling or storing an undeployed inflator module. An inflator module deployment produces a rapid generation of gas. This may cause the inflator module, or an object in front of the inflator module, to project through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment.
Dual Stage Inflator Module
Dual stage inflator modules have two deployment stages. If stage 1 was used to deploy a dual stage inflator module, stage 2 may still be active. Therefore, a deployed dual stage inflator module must be treated as an active module. If disposal of a dual stage module is required, both deployment loops must be energized to deploy the air bag.
Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live and undeployed inflator module. Do NOT dispose a live and undeployed inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed.
Do not deploy the inflator module in the following situations:
Deployment Procedures
You can deploy the inflator module either inside or outside of the vehicle. The method used depends upon the final disposition of the vehicle. Review the following procedures in order to determine which will work best in a given situation:
Water Hose Test
Note: Use a water hose without the nozzle attached.
Have an assistant inside of the vehicle i 1. n order to locate the leak.
Begin testing at the base of the window or the windshield.
Slowly move the hose upward and across the top of the vehicle.
