Airbag Disposal - Honda 2004 Odyssey Service Manual

Airbag Disposal

Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, or seat belt
tensioners, (including those in a whole vehicle to be
scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, or seat belt
tensioners, must be deployed. If the vehicle is still
within the warranty period, the Honda District Service
Manager must give approval and/or special instruction
before deploying the airbags, or side airbags, seat belt
tensioners. Only after the airbags, side airbags, or seat
belt tensioners have been deployed (as the result of
vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags, side airbags, and seat belt tensioners
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, side airbags, and seat belt tensioners, should
be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side
airbags and seat belt tensioners should not be
considered as salvageable parts and should never be
installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the
battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, or seat belt
tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly
by following the check procedure on the tool label.
