Diagnostic (OBD)
General Information
Vehicles 1997
The airbag system includes a driver-side airbag,
passenger-side airbag, and two front seat belt
tensioners. These are ignited centrally by the
airbag control module -J234- if the specified
activation criteria are met during a crash.
Vehicles 1997 1999 : up to VIN 8D XA 200
000 The airbag system includes a driver-side airbag,
passenger-side airbag, two front seat belt
tensioners, side airbag, driver's side, side airbag,
passenger side, and two or three (1998 and on )
rear seat belt tensioners. If the specified
activation criteria are met during a crash, they
are ignited centrally by the airbag control module
-J234-.
Regardless of the type of crash or crash
intensity, the airbag control module sends a
"crash signal" to the central locking control
module. This function provides passive security.
With the help of the central locking system, it
unlocks the doors, opens the rear lid and blocks

1999 vehicles : from VIN 8D XA 200 001 Airbag system includes: side airbag, passenger-
side airbag, two front seat belt tensioners, two
front side airbags, two or three rear seat belt
tensioners and side curtain airbags. In a crash
situation, these are ignited centrally by the airbag
control module -J234- when specified triggering
criteria are met.
In a crash situation, the control module sends a
crash signal to the central locking control
module. This function is a passive safety feature.
It releases door locks and the rear lid lock via the
central locking system if an airbag and/or belt
tensioner is triggered. Also, inside door lock
switches are blocked and interior lighting is
switched on. The "crash signal" can be checked
using output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)

.
When the airbags and/or belt tensioners are
deployed, the control module will record the DTC
"Crash data stored."
Airbag control module -J234- must be replaced
following:
The 1st driver-side/passenger-side airbag
deployment.
The 3rd time front seat belt tensioners and/or
