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
No Airbag Warning Lamp
I
noperative lamp, lamp ci rcu it or no ign ition voltage
to the diagnostics module
Normal Operation
The airbag warning lamp is designed to illuminate
for approximately six seconds when the ignition is
switched
on.
This period
is
allocated for satisfactory
performance of the airbag system self test.
Note: The a irbag warning lamp is
driven
by
the instrument
pack and not directly by the airbag diagnostic module.
The airbag diagnostic module requires an ignition
supply to pin
1
to energise the airbag warning lamp
circuit. If the warning lamp circuit is open, or the
diagnostic module does not receive an ignition
voltageatpini, the warning lamp will not illuminate.
Open circuit in the warning lamp supply, in
conjunction with another system fault, will cause
the diagnostic module to emit five tones every 30
minutes while the ignition is switched on. Repair
the faulty circuit before further diagnosis.
Note:
The
diagnostic module will not emit
the
five tone
signal if the warning lamp
is
open circuit and
there
is no
system
fault.
Possible Causes
Defective airbag warning lamp
Faulty wiring in the airbag warning lamp circuit
Loss of ignition voltage at diagnostic module pin 1.
Loss of ground at diagnostic module pin 3
Instrument pack fault
Fault Analysis
WARNING: Read and adhere to all warnings and
safety procedures at the start of this section when
working on the airbag
systent.
1.
Remove the instrument pack and check the airbag
warning lamp.
If the lamp is good, go to step 2.
If the lamp is defective, replace it, switch on the
ignition and check that the lamp is now on for
approximately six seconds after ignition on.
2.
Disarm the airbag system and fit airbag simulators
(6.4.21.4).
9.
Connect the PDU. Switch on the ignition. Measure
the 12V ignition supply voltage from airbag
diagnostic connector pin
1 -1
{+) to chassis ground.
If ignition voltage is present, go to step 6. If ignition
voltage is not present, go to step 4.
Checkfuse F15passengersidefuseboxRHDorF17
passenger side fusebox LHD (Ignition supply to the
diagnostic module pin
1
-1). If the fuse is good, go
to step 5. If the fuse is replaced, go to step 6.
Check for an open circuit on the YW wire from fuse
F15 passenger sidefusebox(F17 LHD)todiagnostic
module pin 1-1. If continuity is good, isolate the
fault in the 12V supply to fuse Fl 5 (Fl 7) and then
go to step 9.
Measure the voltage from diagnostic module pin
1
-
1 to diagnostic module pin 1-3. If 12V is not
present, isolate and service the open circuit in the
diagnostic module ground to pin 1-3. Then go to
step 7.
Switch the ignition off. Set up to measure the
voltage from DM pin
1
-4 to DM pin
1
-5 during the
first six seconds after ignition on.
Switch on the ignition, the warning light signal to
the instrument pack should switch for six seconds
after a brief delay.
If the signal does not switch, the diagnostic module
is
fau Ity. Replace the modu
le,
switch on the ign ition
and check that the airbag warning lamp does light
for six seconds after ignition on.
If the signal does switch for approx. six seconds
after ignition on, the fault is in the instrument pack
or wiring, go to step 8.
Check continuity of the YW wire from diagnostic
module pin

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

Airbag System
Airbag DM Fault Code 52
Back-up power supply - voltage boost fault.
Normal Operation
A back-up power supply consisting of a capacitor
and voltage booster is contained within the
diagnostic module. The voltage booster charges
the capacitor to 24 ±
1
volt when the ignition is on.
The back-up power supply is connected to
diagnostic module pin 1-9 via a diode. Since the
resistance of pin 1-9 to ground is infinite, the
capacitor has no discharge path and the back-up
supply
is
maintained ata high
voltage.
Thediagnostic
module monitors this voltage and will flag a code
52 if a minimum of 23V is not achieved within 45
seconds of switching on the ignition.
Possible Causes
Low back-up supply voltage may be caused by:
• Partial or total short circuit of pin 1-9 to ground.
• Boost circuit failure within the diagnostic
module.
Fault Analysis
1.
Disarm the airbag system and fit airbag simulators
(6.4.21.4).
2.
Disconnect the diagnostic module. Check for a
partial or permanent short circuit to ground from
diagnostic module harness connector pin 1-9.
If no short circuit is detected, go to step 3.
If a short circuit is detected, service the wiring as
necessary. Reconnectthediagnostic module. Clear
the code 52. Rearm the airbags.
3. Using a high resistance digital multimeter, set up to
measure the voltage from diagnostic module pin
1
-
9 to ground. Switch on the ignition.
If the voltage is in the range 24 ± 1 volt, the back
up power supply is good. Suspect an intermittent
short circuit to ground and recheck the output
circuit from pin 1-9.
Ifthe voltage is below the range 24 ±
1
volt, replace
the diagnostic module.
4.
Rearm the airbags (6.4.21.4).
Airbag DM Fault Code 53
internal diagnostic module failure.
Normal Operation
The diagnostic module constantly measures the
voltage on pins
1
-2,
1
-6,
1 -11
and
1
-12. It should
be 10
±1
volt. The voltage is regulated by a resistor
within the diagnostic module and the resistance to
ground ofpins
1-2,6,11
and 12 should be infinite.
The resistance across the normally open contacts of
the crash sensors should also be infinite. If the
resistance of the pins to ground or across the crash
sensors becomes measurable, the voltage wi
11
drop.
At between 5V and lOVthe diagnostic module will
recognise an internal voltage regulation failure and
flag a code 53 fault and the airbag warning light will
be illuminated.
Notes: A dead short to ground in the
crash
sensor circuits
will drop the voltage below 5V and the diagnostic
module will flag
a
code
14
fault.
The
diagnostic module
performs several self-tests as
the
ignition is switched on. If it fails any
test,
fault code 53
will be flagged.
Possible Causes
• A decrease in resistance from infinity between
the primary crash sensor circuits and ground.
• An internal diagnostic module self-test failure.
Fault Analysis
1.
Disarm the airbag system and fit airbag simulators
(6.4.21.4).
2.
Check each of pins 1-2, 1-6, 1-11 and 1-12 for
continuity to ground.
If resistance of all circuits is infinity, go to step 3.
If any resistance other than infinity is detected,
service the circuit wiring as necessary. Reconnect
all connectors and switch on and clear all fault
codes.
Switch off the ignition and then switch on again.
Check that the airbag warning lamp comes on at
'ignition on' and extinguishes after approximately
six seconds on satisfactory completion of the airbag
system self-check.
3. Rearm the airbags (6.4.21.4).

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.
