This fault finding section comprises two parts :
- For systems only with front air bags marked "Front".
- For systems with front and side air bags marked "Side".
CONDITIONS FOR APPLYING THE CHECKS DEFINED IN THIS FAULT FINDING
In this fault finding, each fault is interpreted for a type of special memory (fault present, fault memorised,
fault present or memorised).
The checks defined for the processing of each fault are therefore only applied to a vehicle if the fault is
interpreted for the type of fault declared by the fault finding tool.
If a fault is only interpreted in this fault finding if it is declared "present", applying the fault finding when
the fault is only "memorised" does not enable the origin of memorising this fault to be located. In this
case, only a check of the wiring and the connections for the part at fault needs to be carried out (it is
possible to test the wiring concerned in fault finding mode in order to try to see the change from
memorised fault to fault present).
If a fault is interpreted when it is declared"memorised", the conditions for confirming the actual presence
of the fault (and the need to apply fault finding) appear in the "Notes" section or at the beginning of the
fault interpretation.
Note : the ignition must be switched off before operating the fault finding tool.
TOOLING REQUIRED FOR OPERATIONS ON THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER SYSTEMS :
- fault finding tool (except XR25).
- XRBAG update N° 4 for front air bags (with the 30 track B40 adaptor with yellow computer base).
- XRBAG update N° 5 for side air bags ( with the new 50 track B50 adapter with orange computer base).
REMINDERS :
When carrying out an operation on the air bag / seat belt pretensioner systems, the computer must be
locked using the fault finding tool to prevent any risk of incorrect triggering (all trigger lines will be
inhibited).This "locked" mode is indicated by illumination of the warning light on the instrument panel.
If the operation follows an impact during which the pretensioners and/or air bags
were triggered, locking will only be possible following a computer unlocking command.
Following an impact during which the pretensioners and/or air bags were triggered, erasing the
memorised faults will only be possible following a computer unlocking command.
Never take measurements on the air bag and pretensioner triggering lines with an apparatus other than
the XRBAG.
Before using a dummy ignition module, ensure that its resistance is between 1.8 and 2.5 ohms.
During an operation ensure that the computer supply voltage does not fall below 10 volts (#01).
