On-Vehicle Deployment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. 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 & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Put on safety glasses.
  2. Cut air bag module harness connectors from vehicle leaving at least 6" (152 mm) of wire at the connector for each wire lead. See Figure, Figure & Figure . Strip 0.50" (13 mm) of insulation from each wire lead to the connector. Cut 2 deployment wires at least 15 feet (4.6 m) long from 18-gauge multi-strand wire. Strip 0.50" (13 mm) of insulation from each connector wire lead. Twist wires together at one end to short.
  3. For driver-side and passenger-side air bag module leads, twist together wires for Stage 1 and Stage 2 high-side deployment loops. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Connect twisted wire pair to end of one deployment wire. See Fig 1. Bend twisted connection flat and wrap tightly with electrical tape. Repeat procedure for Stage 1 and Stage 2 low-side deployment loop leads. For side impact air bag module leads, connect lead from connector wire to end of each deployment wire. See Fig 2. Bend twisted connection flat and wrap tightly with electrical tape to insulate. Repeat this step for remaining connector wire lead.
  4. Remove all loose objects from front seat. Ensure no one is in vehicle. Connect deployment harness to driver-side air bag module connector. Stretch wires away from car as far as possible. Cover windshield and front door openings with a drop cloth. Separate wire ends. Connect wires to a 12-volt battery. Air bag should deploy. If air bag does not deploy, go to step  6. If air bag did deploy, disconnect wires from battery. DO NOT touch metal surfaces of air bag module for at least 10 minutes due to heat generated during deployment.
  5. Repeat steps  2 through for passenger-side and side impact air bag modules. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling deployed air bag modules. Wash hands with mild soap and water.
  6. If air bag modules DO NOT deploy, carefully remove from vehicle. See AIR BAG MODULES  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Temporarily store module with trim cover facing up. Contact manufacturer for additional instructions.
