Side Curtain AIR Bag Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus ES 330. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Before proceeding, see AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS . Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. Remove appropriate side curtain air bag module. See SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  2. Cut off deployment section (air bag) from inflator. Position side curtain air bag inflator inside a scrap tire and secure with strong wire. See Fig 1. Place this tire between 4 other tires (top tire should have wheel installed). Securely tie all tires together with wire.
  3. Connect Deployment Tool (09082-00700) and Adapter (09082-00801) to inflator connector. Position deployment tool at least 33 feet (10 m) away from side air bag. Press activation switch to deploy side air bag. Because of heat, wait 30 minutes before handling inflator. Seal deployed inflator in vinyl bag and dispose of in usual manner.
