Honda Odyssey Service Manual: Deploying Components Out of the Vehicle

If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be deployed as follows:

1. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle on the tool label.

1. Position the airbag face up, outdoors, on flat ground, at least 10 m (33 ft) from any obstacles or people.

1. Follow steps 15   through 17 of the Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle procedure.

   NOTE: Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags have dual inflators, make sure to twist the correct pair of wires to have each inflator short-circuited.
