Kia Picanto: Airbag Module / Airbag Module Disposal
Description and operation
Deployment tool 0957A-34100A
Before
scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole
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 this procedure.
Deploying airbags in the vehicle
If
an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its 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. | (1) | Driver’s Airbag: | –
| Remove the driver’s airbag and install the SST (0957A-3S100). |
| –
| Install the driver’s airbag on the steering wheel. |
|
| (2) | Front Passenger’s Airbag: | –
| Remove the glove box housing, and then disconnect the connector between the front passenger’s airbag and SRS main harness. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3S100). |
|
| (3) | Side Airbag: | –
| Disconnect the 2P connector between the side airbag and wire harness. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3F100). |
|
| (4) | Curtain Airbag: | –
| Disconnect the 2P connector between the curtain airbag and wire harness. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3S100). |
|
| (5) | Knee Airbag: | –
| Disconnect the 2P connector between the knee airbag and wire harness. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3F100). |
|
| (6) | Seat Belt Pretensioner: | –
| Disconnect the 2P connector from the seat belt pretensioner. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3S100). |
|
| (7) | Anchor Pretensioner: | –
| Disconnect the 2P connector from the anchor pretensioner. |
| –
| Install the SST (0957A-3S100). |
|
|
| 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 and EFD (Emergency Fastening Device) and Active
Hood Actuator must be placed in piled up, at least, 5 tires, outdoors on
flat ground at least thirty feet (10meters) from any obstacles or
people. |
| 3. | Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool. |
| 4. | 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) |
| 5. | Dispose of the complete airbag. No parts can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely. |
| –
| When EFD and Active Hood Actuator are deployed, broken parts are exploded and scattered. |
| –
| EFD and Active Hood Actuator must be placed in the piled up 5 tires to avoid exploded broken parts. |
| –
| Technicians should wear an eye protector and extremely be cautions of exploded broken parts. |
|
Disposal of damaged airbag
