Hyundai Ioniq: 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 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. |
•
