SPECIAL TOOLING
These systems can have fault finding carried out
using the following fault finding tools :
•
XR25 only for pretensioners and front air
bags,
•
NXR or OPTIMA 5800 for pretensioners and
front and side air bags (except self contained
side air bags).
These tools allow faults in the computer or faulty
lines in the system to be detected (see the"Fault
Finding" section).
NOTE : These tools have an additional function
which allows the trigger lines to be deactivated,
to prevent triggering of the pyrotechnic gas gene-
rators.
XRBAG TEST KIT (Elé. 1288)
This equipment is a specially designed tool for
testing and fault finding of air bag and seat belt
pretensioner devices.
It allows electrical measurements to be made on
the various lines of the systems (see the "Fault
finding" section).
IMPORTANT : no measurements may be made on
these systems using an ohmmeter or any other
electrical measuring equipment: the system may
be triggered due to the operating current of the
measuring equipment.
14328S
This bornier is connected in place of the compu-
ter.
Using the
XRBAG, it allows all the trigger lines to
be checked, the computer supply voltage to be
measured and forces the air bag warning light on
the instrument panel to illuminate.
Terminals also allow continuity checks on the dia-
gnostic lines, on the warning light lines and on
the supply to the computer (see "Fault Finding"
section).

DUMMY IGNITION MODULE
A dummy ignition module integrated in a small
red box is supplied in the XRBAG.
It has the same electrical specifications as a real
ignition module and is used to replace the air bag
or the pretensioner during fault finding.

DESTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
In order to avoid any risk of an accident the pyro-
technic gas generators for the air bags and seat
belt pretensioners must be triggered before the
vehicle or the part is scrapped.
Tool Elé. 1287 must be used which is provided for
this purpose.
96832R
Refer to "Destruction procedure" section.
IMPORTANT: do not trigger pretensioners which
must be returned under warranty for a stalk pro-
blem. This makes analysis of the component im-
possible for the supplier.
Return the component in the packaging of the
new one.
OPERATION OF PRETENSIONERS AND FRONT AIR
BAGS
When the ignition is switched on, the control war-
ning light for these systems is illuminated for se-
veral seconds and then is extinguished.
The computer is on standby and monitors the de-
celeration of the vehicle using the signal measu-
red by two integral decelerometers.
In the event of a frontal impact of sufficient force,
one of them simultaneously triggers the pyrote-
chnic generators for the two seat belt pretensio-
ners.
Under the force of the gas generated by the sys-
tem, a piston moves in its cylinder pulling a cable
connected to a corresponding central buckle
which retracts the seat belt (see the
"Pretensioners" section).
If the frontal impact is greater, the second elec-
tronic decelerometer triggers the ignition of the
pyrotechnic gas generators which inflate the dri-
ver and passenger air bags (according to equip-
ment).
These systems will not trigger in the event of:
- a side impact,
- a rear impact.
When triggered, a pyrotechnic gas generator pro-
duces an explosion and a small amount of smoke.
NOTE : the computer and ignition modules supply
normally comes from the vehicle battery.
However, an energy reserve is included in the
computer in case the battery is disconnected at
the start of the impact.

OPERATION OF SIDE AIR BAGS
When the ignition is switched on, the control war-
ning light for these air bag and pretensioner sys-
tems is illuminated for several seconds and then is
extinguished.
The air bag and pretensioner system computer is
then on standby as are the side air bags impact
sensors located in the two inner sills of the vehicle.
In the event of a side impact of sufficient force,
the side impact sensor on the impact side sends a
signal to the air bag and pretensioner system
computer , after having had confirmation of an
impact from the electronic safety sensor (incorpo-
rated in the unit).
The unit triggers the ignition of the pyrotechnic
gas generators in the seat which inflate the air
bag cushion (on the impact side).
The side air bags are not triggered during:
- a frontal impact,
- a rear impact,
- an impact on the opposite side.
When triggered, a pyrotechnic gas generator pro-
duces an explosion and a small amount of smoke.
NOTE :the computer and ignition modules supply
normally comes from the vehicle battery.
However, an energy reserve is included in the
computer in case the battery is disconnected at
the start of the impact.
REMINDER : for vehicles fitted with self contained
air bags, see Technical Note 3064A.
COMPUTER
Two types of computer are assembled on these ve-
hicles according to their equipment :
• A unit supplied by a 30 track yellow connector
for vehicles without side air bags. This must be
configured according to the vehicle’s equip-
ment (see configuration).
• A unit supplied by a 50 track orange connector
for vehicles with side air bags.
These units comprise :
- two electronic decelerometers for front air bags
and pretensioners,
- an electronic safety sensor for non-self contai-
ned side air bags (unit with 50 track orange
connector only),
- connections with side electronic sensors in the
inner sills (unit with 50 track orange connector
only),
- an ignition circuit for the different pyrotechnic
systems ,
- an energy reserve,
- a fault finding circuit with memorisation of the
faults detected,
- a control circuit for the warning light on the ins-
trument panel,
- a communication interface K - L via the fault fin-
ding socket.
IMPORTANT
Before removing the computer, it must be locked
using one of the fault finding tools (
XR25, NXR or
OPTIMA 5800).
When this operation is activated,all the ignition
lines are inhibited and the air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is illuminated (new computers
are delivered in this condition).
See following procedure.

Special features after triggering
These types of unit (30 or 50 track) can accept up
to four triggerings maximum. Therefore it is not
necessary to replace them each time the air bags
or pretensioners are triggered .
In the event of being triggered, the warning light
on the instrument panel is illuminated, but the
computer does not lock the ignition lines which
have not been triggered. These remain in opera-
tion.
On the other hand, the computer locks the memo-
rised faults in order to prevent accidental erasing
of the context register for the impact which cau-
sed triggering.
These contexts can later be used to simplify the
repair of the vehicles involved in accidents and al-
so for examination needs.
IMPORTANT, during repair following an impact,
an unlocking command must be carried out follo-
wed by a locking command for the computer to
lock all of the ignition lines.
Erasing memorised faults is only possible follo-
wing a computer unlocking command.
If the fault finding tool does not recommend re-
placing the computer, only replace the triggered
components and check that there are no faults.
When everything is correct, unlock the computer
using a fault finding tool; the system is again ope-
rational.
If the fault finding tool recommends replacing the
computer, it will indicate either :
• that the computer has triggered four times ei-
ther just the pretensioners or the pretensio-
ners and air bags or the side air bag which is
not self contained (according to equipment),
• or an internal fault in the computer .
In these two circumstances, replace the computer.Special notes for replacing the computer
A new computer must be fitted to the vehicle be-
fore reconnecting its connector (tightening tor-
que : 0.8 daN.m).
The arrow on the computer must point towards
the front of the vehicle.
After connecting the connector, carry out a check
using the fault finding tool and proceed with
configuration if the vehicle does not have a pas-
senger air bag.
When everything is correct, unlock the computer
using a fault finding tool; the system is again ope-
rational.

Connection
NOTE : the computer connector has a special fea-
ture in that it short circuits the various trigger
lines when it is disconnected. In effect, the shunts,
located opposite each pretensioner or air bag line,
prevent incorrect triggering of the system (by an-
tenna effect for example).

WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
This warning light controls the pretensioners and
the driver and passenger air bags.
It must illuminate for several seconds when the
ignition is switched on, then extinguish (and re-
main extinguished).
Not illuminating when the ignition is switched on
or illuminating when the vehicle is moving indi-
cates a fault in the system (see "Fault Finding" sec-
tion).
SIDE IMPACT SENSORS
(according to equipment)
IMPORTANT : before removing a side impact sen-
sor, lock the computer using a fault finding tool.
When this operation is activated, all the trigge-
ring lines are inhibited, the air bag warning light
on the instrument panel is illuminated.
REMINDER : for vehicles fitted with self contained
air bags, see Technical Note 3064A.
Removal
They are located on each side under the the inner
sill trim.
To access it :
- remove the two sensor mounting bolts, pas-
sing the wrench under the seat runner,
- disconnect the sensor.
NOTE : removing the seat is not necessary.
