Hyundai Sonata: Airbag Module Disposal. Description and Operation
Airbag Disposal
Special tool required |
Deployment tool 0957A-34100A
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those installed
in vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must be deployed. If
the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags
or side airbags, the Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction.
Only after the airbags or side airbags have been deployed (as the result of
vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags or side
airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow
these procedures:
Deploying airbags in the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, the airbags or
side airbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags or side
airbags should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed
in another vehicle.
1. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery negative
cable and wait at least three minutes.
|
2. |
Confirm that each airbag or side airbag is securely mounted.
|
3. |
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following
the check procedure.
|
4. |
Place the deployment tool at least thirty feet (10meters) away
from the airbag.
|
5. |
Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
|
6. |
Push the tool’s deployment switch. The airbag should deploy (deployment
is both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid inflation
of the bag, followed by slow deflation)
|
7. |
Dispose of the complete airbag. No parts can be reused. Place
it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.
|
Deploying the airbag out of the vehicle
If an intact airbag has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been
found defective or damage during transit, storage or service, it should be deployed
as follows:
1. |
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following
the check procedure on this page.
|
2. |
Position the airbag facing up, outdoors on flat ground at least
thirty feet (10meters) from any obstacles or people.
|
Disposal of damaged airbag
1. |
If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure of driver’s
airbag, front passenger’s and side airbag.
|
2. |
In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two
airbag inflator wires.
|
3. |
Package the airbag in exactly the same packing that the new replacement
part came in.
