IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and operation
recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 88C, Air bag and Pretensioners, Airbag
and pretensioners: Precautions for the
repair, page 88C-6) . |
IMPORTANT
To eliminate the risk of any accident, do not reuse
pyrotechnic components.
It is essential to destroy pretensioners or airbags
before scrapping a vehicle or a part onl |
WARNING
The destruction procedure cannot be carried out if
local regulations require a special procedure which
has been confirmed and published by the Fault finding,
Repair and Procedures Department. |
Note:
If triggering is not possible (faulty ignition module)
return the part to Techline. |
- It is essential to use the tool (Ele. 1287) and (Ele.1287-02).
- Use a wiring connector kit 82 00 518 971.
- Attach the wiring connectors 82 00 518 971 to the
adapters (Ele. 1287-02) to obtain an adapter for
each colour (green, orange, blue, etc.) (see Wiring:
Repair) (Technical Note 6015A, 88A, Wiring).
- Use a battery to power the destruction tool.
I - AIRBAGS
Note:
The airbags must be destroyed outside the workshop,
in an area with sufficient space.
The airbags to be destroyed must be removed. |
Note:
If the airbag has two levels of activation (i.e. it is
fitted with two connectors), destroy both connectors. |
- Prepare the adapter corresponding to the airbag to
be destroyed.
- Connect:
- the adapter to the destruction tool (Ele. 1287),
- the adapter to the airbag.
- Put the airbag on two wooden blocks.
- The destruction procedure is carried out in a stack of
old tyres.
- Make sure that the airbag deployment will not be
hindered.
- Unwind the full length of the wiring for the tool, in order
to distance it as far away as possible from the
pyrotechnic component to be destroyed.
- Connect the two feed wires of the destruction tool
(Ele. 1287) to a battery.
IMPORTANT
To prevent any risk of an accident when destroying
a pyrotechnic component, check that no-one
is in the vicinity. |
- Destroy the airbag by pressing the two push buttons
on the tool simultaneously.
II - PYROTECHNIC PRETENSIONERS AND INERTIA
REELS
1 - Destruction of part fitted on the vehicle to be
scrapped:
- Move the vehicle outside the workshop.
- Mark the adapter corresponding to the pyrotechnic
component to be destroyed.
- Connect:
- the destruction tool (Ele. 1287) to the adapter,
- the adapter to the pyrotechnic component.
- Unwind the tool wiring fully, so that you are far
enough away from the vehicle (approximately ten
metres) when the device is triggered.
- Connect the two feed wires of the destruction tool
(Ele. 1287) to a battery.
IMPORTANT
To prevent any risk of an accident when destroying
a pyrotechnic component, check that no-one
is in the vicinity. |
- Destroy the pyrotechnic component by pressing the
two push buttons on the tool simultaneously.
2 - Destruction of part removed from the vehicle:
- Proceed in the same way as for an airbag (in a stack
of old tyres).
