Driver and Passenger Airbag Modules
Assembly/Removal/Service Instructions
WARNING: In the event of a vehicle impact where the
airbags and the seatbeltpretensioner (if fitted) are
deployed, the following actions MUST be
performed:
Check the condition of the seatbelts, steering
wheel,
steering column, all connections to airbags,
and the column switchgear connectors for integrity
and damage. If in any
doubt,
replace suspected
parts for new parts.
Replace both crash
sensors,
the
safing sensor
and
the seatbelt pretensioner module (if fitted).
On completion of all repair procedures, switch on
the ignition and check that the
Airbag/SRS
warning
light comes on when the ignition is switched on
and extinguishes after approximately six seconds
indicating satisfactory completion of the airbag
and pretensioner
system
self
tests.
WARNING: Before starting
work,
ensure
that the ignition
switch is in position 'O' and the ignition key is
removed.
Disconnect the battery negative lead
within 12 seconds of switching off the ignition to
prevent the alarm system triggering.
As the airbag control module is equipped with a
back-up power source and due to the risk of the
airbag being inadvertently deployed, wait one
minute or longer after disconnecting the battery
before starting work on the airbag module.
• Disconnectingthe battery negative cable cancels
the memory for the 'one-touch' window down
system and stops the vehicle clock. Reset the
window memory and the clock when work is
completed.
• Never use airbags from other vehicles, always
use new parts.
• After work is completed, reconnect the battery
and perform the airbag warning light check
• Never use electrical probes to check voltage or
electrical resistance of the airbag modules.
• Disconnect the airbag before carrying out any
work on, or in the vicinity of the module, or
when using electric welding equipment.
• Always ensure that the battery negative lead has
been disconnected for at least one minute before
commencing any removal procedure.

Airbag System '=2?
Airbag System Diagnostics
System Description
The airbag system installation comprises:
Airbag Diagnostic Module
Driver and passenger airbag modules
Two front impact (crash) sensors
One 'safing' sensor
Dedicated wiring harness
SRS indicator/warning lamp
The system is designed to provide protection for
both driver and front seat passenger by automatical ly
deploying airbags in the event of
a
collision during
forward travel.
In the event of a collision, the crash and safing
sensors will operate, completing the firing circuit
and causing the airbags to inflate within 32
milliseconds. At least one crash sensor and the
safing sensor must operate to fire the airbags.
Any faults in system components, installation or
wiring will be indicated by a flashing code on the
SRS/AIRBAG warning lamp. Fault code information
may also be monitored using the PDU or scan
tool.
Component Descriptions
Airbag Diagnostic Module
The airbag diagnostic module is mounted on top of
the passenger airbag mountingcage.Thediagnostic
module contains the microprocessor which is
connected to the complete airbag system. The state
of the three system sensors, the two airbag modules
and the wiring harness is constantly monitored by
the microprocessor for faults and for sensor
activation (crash) conditions.
The diagnostic module also confirms correct supply
voltage by comparing
a
direct battery voltage input
with a similar input via the ignition switch.
The diagnostic module contains a reserve power
supply, enabling the airbags to fire even if the
supply voltage is lost due to collision damage. The
reserve power charge will be retained for
approximately one minute if the positive battery
supply is lost in a collision. An auxiliary internal
circuit known as the 'dwell enhancer' provides a
temporary ground if normal system ground was lost
in a collision.
Wiring Harness
A dedicated electrical wiring harness is used to
connect all system components to the bulkhead
harness. To allow free movement of the steering
mechanism, a cable reel cassette is used to connect
the drivers airbag in the steering wheel to the airbag
harness on the steering column.
Airbag Modules
The two airbag modules contain achargeof sodium
azide/copper oxide which wi
11
generate
a
sufficient
volume of nitrogen gas to fully inflate the airbag
when ignited by an electrical impulse. The volume
of gas is greater in the passenger side airbag due to
its larger size.
Both airbag modules, including the surrounding
trim of the drivers airbag, are non-serviceable and
once deployed, must be renewed as a complete
assembly.
Crash and Safing Sensors
The two crash sensors are mounted one at either
side of the bumper mounting cross member, outside
of the bonnet hinges.
The safing sensor is mounted in the base of the
drivers side 'A' post.
The two crash sensors and the safing sensor
determine when airbag deployment is necessary in
a crash condition.
The sensor contacts will only close when the vehicle
suffers a forward impact of sufficient force. At least
one crash sensor and the safing sensor contacts
must close before the airbags will deploy. The
doubletrigger strategy
is
used to prevent deployment
during trivial impacts such as contacts during
parking.

Airbag System [EE:^^^?
Continuous Airbag Warning Lamp
Inoperative lamp circuit or no ignition supply to the
airbag diagnostic module.
Normal Operation
The airbag warning lamp is designed to illuminate
for approximately six seconds when the ignition is
switched
on.
This period isallocated for satisfactory
performance of the airbag system self test. If after
this period, the diagnostic module detects a fault
within the system, the airbag warning lamp will
begin to flash.
Note:
The seat
belt
pretensioner system
(if fitted)
shares
the
airbag/SRS
warning lamp with
the airbag
system.
If a
seat belt pretensioner fault is
detected,
the
Airbag/SRS
warning lamp will be permanently illuminated. Ensure
thata permanently lit
lamp
is nottheresultof a pretensioner
fault before carrying out fault analysis on the airbag
system.
Poor connection or disconnection of the diagnostic
module harness may cause a short circuit from DM
pin 4 (warning lamp control) to pin 5 (ground) and
cause permanent illumination ofthe warning lamp.
Faulty operation of the diagnostic module internal
logic may fail to turn off the warning lamp control
circuit and cause constant illumination of the
warning lamp.
Fault Analysis
WARNING: Read and adhere to all warnings and
safety procedures at the start of this section when
working on the airbag system.
1.
Disarm the airbag system and fit airbag simulators
(6.4.21.4). Reconnect the battery.
2.
Inspectthe instrument pack and diagnostic module
connectors for damaged, pushed out pins, proper
location etc.
If any defects are identified, service as necessary.
Retest to ensure correct operation of the airbag
warning light.
If the connector condition and security are good,
reconnect the connectors and go to step 3.
5.
Connect the PDU to the upper diagnostic socket
and monitorthe airbag warning lamp
signal.
Switch
on the ignition.
If the signal is permanently low, suspect a short
circuit to ground on the airbag warning lamp
control line within the diagnostic module or from
diagnostic module pin
1
-4 to earth. Co to step 4.
If the signal switches low for six seconds after
ignition on but the airbag warning lamp is
permanently illuminated, suspect a fault in the
output side of the instrument pack to the airbag
warning lamp.
Disconnect diagnostic module plug 1 (slate) and
withdraw the plastic locking wedge to prevent
shorts to other circuits. Check continuity from pin
1-1 to ground.
If a short circuit to ground is detected, service the
wiring
as
necessary. Replacethe locking
wedge,
re
insert the connector. Switch on the ignition and
check that the airbag warning lamp signal atpin 1-
4 goes high six seconds after switching on the
ignition and that the warning lamp extinguishes.
If no short circuitto ground isdetected,thediagnostic
module is faulty. Replace the diagnostic module.
Switch on the ignition and check that the airbag
warning lamp signal at pin
1
-4 goes high six seconds
after switching on the ignition and that the warning
lamp extinguishes.
Switch off the ignition. Disconnect the battery.
Rearm the airbags (6.4.21.4). Switch on the
ign
ition
and check for correct indications from the airbag
warning lamp.

Airbag System
Airbag DM Fault Code 12
Low battery voltage
Normal Operation
The airbag diagnostic module (DM) monitors the
voltage at pin 1-7 which should be equal to the
battery voltage. If a voltage lower than 9 volts is
detected at pin 1-7, the airbag warning lamp will be
illuminated and fault code 12 will be flashed.
Possible Causes
Drop in battery voltage to DM pin 1-7 caused by:
• Open circuit to pin
1
-7 from the battery
• Short circuit to ground on the battery feed
circuit
• Safing sensor feed shorted to ground
• Safing sensor internal short to ground
• Faulty charge system draining the battery
Fault Analysis
WARNING: Read and adhere to all warnings and
safety procedures at the start of
this
section when
working on the airbag system.

If battery voltage is present at pin 1-7, renew the
diagnostic module. Rearm and verify the airbag
system.
3. Check the supply fuse as follows:
a) Check fuse F16 in the passenger side fusebox RHD
(or F18 in passenger fusebox LHD).
If the fuse has not blown, check for an open circuit
between battery positive and diagnostic module
connector pin
1
-7.
If the fuse has blown. Renew the fuse and/or repair
the wiring and go to step 4.
4.
Check for a short circuit as follows:
a) Switch off the ignition. With the airbag diagnostic
module disconnected, measure the continuity to
earth from diagnostic module connector pin
1
-7 to
ground.
If no short circuit is detected, go to step 5.
Ifashortto ground isdetected, service the wiring as
necessary. Reconnect the diagnostic module and
retest to ensure that code 12 is cleared.
5. Check for a short circuit to ground on the safing
sensor wiring as follows:
a) Check for a short circuit to ground at diagnostic
module pin 1-9.
b) If a short is detected, disconnect the safing sensor
and repeat the check at diagnostic module pin
1
-9.
If a short is still detected, service the wiring from
diagnostic module pin
1
-9 to safing sensor pin 7.
c) If no short circuit is detected, change the airbag
diagnostic module. Reconnect the diagnostic
module and retest to ensure that code 12 does not
recur.

System Fault Strategy
No single fault may cause an unexpected deployment. The controller will supervise the pretensioner electrical
system in order to warn the driver should a fault occur. Any fault detected by the self diagnostics shall cause the SRS/
airbag warning lamp to be activated, and in some cases the pretensioner control module to enter shutdown mode.
In shutdown mode, the energy of the reserve capacitors shall be discharged to avoid unintended deployment.
As the ignition is switched on, the pretensioner controller will directly discharge the energy capacitors. When the
start up procedure is completed without detecting any faults, the DC/DC converter will be activated allowing the
capacitors to be charged. The system shall be fully active within
11
secondsafterswitchingthe ignition on providing
that no faults are detected.
All system faults monitored by the controller are filtered in software to avoid fault warnings due to transient electrical
disturbances.
If a fault which could lead to inadvertent deployment is detected by the microprocessor, a software shutdown will
be generated. However, a leakage to an earth or positive potential in the pretensioner output circuit shall not cause
the controller to enter shutdown mode.
If a permanent short of the ignition transistor occurs, a shutdown shall be generated by the hardware circuit. If a
shutdown occurs, the system shall be unable to deploy the pretensioner after a period of 3 seconds (i.e. capacitors
discharged to under minimum deployment voltage).
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of personal injury caused by accidental deployment of the pretensioner,
disconnect the vehicle battery and wait at least 10 minutes for all voltages to fully discharge before working on
the pretensioner
system.
This
covers the possibility of the normal capacitor discharge circuits being inoperative
and failing to discharge the capacitor when instructed to do so.
WA RNING: Do not make any electrical measurements on the pretensioner squib. Electrical measurement devices
can induce sufficient voltage to cause unintentional firing of the pretensioner assembly
If the module enters shutdown mode, all diagnostic functions are stopped, but the communications link remains
active.
A fault code corresponding to the cause of the problem may be read by the PDU.
Assembly/Removal/Service I nstructions
WARNING: In the event of a vehicle impact where the airbags and the seatbelt pretensioner (if fitted) are
deployed, the following actions MUST be performed:
Check the condition of the
seatbelts,
steering wheel, steering column, all connections to airbags, and the column
switchgear connectors for integrity and damage. If in any doubt, replace suspected parts for new parts.
Replace both crash
sensors,
the safing sensor and the seatbelt pretensioner module (if fitted).
On completion of all repair procedures, switch on the ignition and check that the Airbag/SRS warning light
comes
on when the ignition is switched on and extinguishes after approximately six seconds indicating satisfactory
completion of the airbag and pretensioner
system
self
tests.
Vehicles for the North American, Australian and Japanese markets are fitted with drivers seat belt pretensioner
systems and are fitted with a shorting plug in the yellow connector adjacent to the pretensioner control module.
Vehicles for other markets do not have drivers seat belt pretensioners fitted but have a blanking plug in the yellow
connector adjacent to the pretensioner control module.

Body Repair
Introduction
This section contains information for the body repair and rectification of the vehicle. Wherever possible the vehicle
must be returned to its original manufactured condition. Following repair the vehicle must be fully checked and, if
necessary, the braking system and steering must be fully reset.
Health and Safety
Ensure that the correct working practices are established before beginning work.
Observe that the correct working practices are followed whether they be legislative or common sense.
Be aware of the potential risks of using materials used in the manufacture and repair of vehicles and take the
appropriate precautions.
Warning: Make sure that the working practices for the air conditioning
system
are followed: do not vent the refrigerant
directly into the atmosphere and always use the approved recovery/recycle /recharge equipment, always wear
suitable protective garments to prevent injury to the eyes and the skin.
Potential Risks
Paint
If the organic solvents, contained in paints, are inhaled for any length of time damage can be caused to the liver,
kidneys, respiratory tract and the digestive system.
Prolonged exposure to isocyanates can cause lung sensitisation and asthma-like symtoms can develop with
subsequent re-exposure to even low concentrations.
Solvent inhilation can cause dizziness or loss of consciousness.
Inhilation of spray dust and sanding debris can cause lung damage.
Paint activatorsand additives will damage the eyesor can cause dermatitis if allowed to splash and come into contact
with these areas. Peroxide and acid catalysts can cause burns.
Applied heat
There is considerable risk of damage to the eyes and skin when welding or flame cutting.
Fire is a serious danger as many materials and fluids in the vehicle are inflammable.
Toxic and dangerous fumes can be liberated when the following are subjected to heat; expanded foam, corrosion
protection,
adhesive and sealing compounds,
trim,
seat material and paints that contain isocyanates.
When heated to
a
temperature of 300°C, polyu rethane based compounds can
1
iberate small quantities of isocyanate.
Many types of nitrogen containing chemicals may be liberated as breakdown products, these chemicals can
contain isocyanates, oxides of nitrogen and hydrogen cyanide.
Potentially toxic or asphyxiant fumes and gases are produced by welding, for example; zinc oxide with zinc coated
panels and ozone gas from the MIC process.
Metal repair
There is considerable risk of damage to the eyes, ears and skin when metal cutting, forming and dressing is being
carried out.
Soldering may be hazardous because of heat generated fumes and skin contact with the materials.
