Hyundai Ioniq (AE): Airbag Module / Airbag Module Disposal. Description and operation
When you scrap a vehicle equipped with an airbag, you must deploy it first.
When you deploy an airbag, you need to have a skilled mechanic do the work. The used airbag should not be reinstalled in another vehicle for reuse.
| •
| Upon deployment, the explosion will create a loud noise, so you have to do it in a proper place not to disturb others. |
| •
| When you deploy an airbag, use a specially designated tool and select a place where there is no electric noise. |
| •
| When operating the airbag deployment tool, you must be at least 5 meters away from the airbag. |
| •
| Upon deployment, the airbag gives off an intense heat. So wait for 30 minutes or so before touching it. |
| •
| Make sure to use gloves and safety goggles when you deal with the deployed airbag. |
| •
| Do not spread water over the deployed airbag. |
| •
| Always wash your hands after the deployment work is completed. |
|
Deploying Airbags in the 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) | Disconnect the 2P connector between the airbag and wire harness. |
| (2) | Install the SST | •
| For the driver airbag, separate the 2-pin connector from it and connect the deployment adapter to reattach it on the steering wheel. |
|
|
| 4. | Locate the airbag deployment tool at a place at least 5 meters away from the airbag. |
| 5. | After connecting the deployment adapter with the deployment tool (0957A-34100A), connect it to the external battery for deployment. | (2) | Deployment tool (0957A-34100A) |
| (3) | Deployment adapter | –
| DAB, PAB, CAB, BPT, EFD (0957A-AL140) |
|
|
| 6. | Switch on the deployment tool to proceed with deployment. | (1) | If the battery is connected, the POWER ON (1) light will be on. |
| (2) | Press and hold READY (2) until it is on, and then press DEPLOY (3) to deploy the airbag. 
| •
| Upon deployment, the airbag will create a loud noise and you can see it suddenly expand and contract slowly. |
|
|
|
| 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
In case the airbag is separated from a scrapped car, or when you find defects or damages on it, you have to deploy it as follows :
| 1. | Place the airbag deployment module face upward on a flat surface outdoor. | •
| If the airbag deployment module were face downward, the airbag will pop up and cause damage to people around it. |
|
|
| 2. | Get ready to deploy the airbag as follows: | (1) | Separate the 2-pin connecter of the airbag from the vehicle. |
| (2) | Connect the deployment adapter. | •
| For the driver airbag, separate the 2-pin connector from it and connect the deployment adapter to reattach it on the steering wheel. |
|
|
| 3. | Locate the airbag deployment tool at a place at least 5 meters away from the airbag. |
| 4. | After connecting the deployment adapter (0957A-AL140, 0957A-AL160) with the deployment tool (0957A-34100A), connect it to the external battery (12V) for deployment. | (2) | Airbag Deploy (0957A-34100A) |
| (3) | Deployment adapter | –
| DAB, PAB, CAB, BPT, EFD (0957A-AL140) |
| •
| When EFD are deployed, broken parts are exploded and scattered. |
| •
| EFD (Emergency Fastening Device) 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. |
|
|
|
| 5. | Switch on the deployment tool to proceed with deployment. | (1) | If the battery is connected, the POWER ON (1) light will be on. |
| (2) | Press and hold READY (2) until it is on, and then press DEPLOY (3) to deploy the airbag.
|
|
| 6. | Dispose of the complete airbag. No parts can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.
