SRS airbag warning lamp inspection
1. When the ignition switch is set to the ON position, check if the SRS warning lamp remains on for 6-7 s.
2. If the SRS warning lamp shuts off after 6-7 s, this is normal.
3. Except for the items listed above, diagnostic inspection is still needed\
.
System diagnosis
Airbag ECU will initiate a series of diagnostic test cycles to check if the airbag system functions are ready for
use. This diagnostic test can guard against the restraint system's faulty execution and at the same time guarantee
prompt execution in a collision. If a malfunction appears, airbag ECU will store the appropriate trouble code and
light up the warning lamp to point out the malfunction, as to make maint\
enance more convenient.

Troubleshooting
Basic processes of the malfunction diagnostic
There are two SRS-ECU malfunctions types classified by time: current malfunction and history malfunction.
The malfunction types categorized by property are: external malfunction \
and internal malfunction.
Current malfunction trouble codes and history malfunction trouble codes may exist at the same time. External
malfunction trouble codes can be eliminated with a diagnostic instrument, but the internal malfunction trouble
codes cannot be cleared unless the SRS-ECU is changed.
Caution: After installing a new SRS airbag system electronic control unit, the airbag system warning
lamp will remain on for 6-7 s when the ignition switch is set to the ON position. This indicates that
the SRS airbag is operating properly. At this point, the system does not need to be inspected and
repaired. Aside from this case however, the system should be diagnosed and repaired.

Possible
causes
• Voltage disappears (fuse open circuit)
• Combination meter malfunction
• Wire harness malfunction between the instrument cluster and ECU unit
Diagnostic procedures
While performing the first malfunction detection, it is suggested to wiggle the wire harness and plugs to check for
intermittent or poor contact. If there is, please check whether the plugs, terminals, and the wire harness are connected
properly and undamaged. If the above mentioned problems do not exist, pl\
ease take the following steps.
StepsInspectionOperation
1
Detect other wire harness and instrument cluster indicator
lamps
• Set the ignition switch to the ON position
• Are other warning and indicator lamps on?
Yes
Set the ignition switch to the LOCK
position, and then proceed to the
next step
No
Detect the instrument cluster's
power supply system and the
grounded system (fuse)
2
Inspect the light bulbs
Warning:
Incorrect airbag system component operation will cause the
airbag and preload seat belt to opened accidentally, which
may cause serious injuries. Please read the airbag system
services warning before working on the airbag components
• Set the ignition switch to the LOCK position
• Disconnect the battery's negative cable and maintain for at
least 60 s
• Remove the combination meter
• Check whether the two corresponding pins of the airbag
warning lamp are conducting
Yes
Go to the next step
No
Replace the combination meter
3
Detect the wire harness connection between the ECU unit and
the instrument cluster
• Set the ignition switch to the LOCK position
• Disconnect the battery's negative cable
• Disconnect the instrument cluster plugs
• Check whether the warning lamp's corresponding circuits
are conducting

No
Replace the wire harness
Malfunction diagnosis and troubleshooting
1. Warning lamp is not on or always on

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GWFLORID Maintenance Manual230
Alignment area
(a) Whether there are broken connectors or protective
pipes and deformed terminals.
(b) Whether the housing is damaged.
(c) Inspect whether the clock spring's upper connector
terminal and lower corresponding connector terminal is
conducting.
Clock spring central involution
Screw in the clock spring clockwise all the way, and then
turn it 3.5 circles in the reverse direction, until the position
pin's block boss matches the block hole (as shown on the
left).
Caution: If the clock spring is not in the involution
central, the steering wheel will be unable to rotate
midway or cause clock spring circuit failure, which will
obstruct the normal operation of the SRS airbag.
6. Steering wheel and airbag module subassembly installation
(a) After pulling out the clock spring's position pin, install the steering wheel and airbag module su\
bassembly.
Caution: While installing the steering wheel and airbag module subassembly, please do not block the
clock spring wire harness.
(b) After installation, try to turn the steering wheel left and right to its proper position, and check for anything
abnormal.
7. Inspection after installation
(a) Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right to check whether there is anything abnormal or for any
strange noise. (Driver side airbag module, clock spring).
(b) Set the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) The SRS warning lamp will remain on for 6-7 s and will then die out.
(d) If the warning lamp is always on or shows other symptoms after 6-7 s, troubleshooting must be perf\
ormed.
(e) Inspect whether the clock spring circuit is open circuited. If yes, please replace it with a new \
one.
(f) If no, check the other circuits.
Airbag Module Disposal
While discarding the airbag module or a vehicle carrying a SRS airbag, please discard according to the following
steps.
Discarding essentials of the airbag module before deployment
1. Deploy the airbag before discarding SRS airbag.
2. Deploy the airbag outside the vehicle when replacing the airbag module.
3. There may be some smoke when deploying the airbag, so make sure to operate near a smoke
detector.
4. When deploying the airbag, the sound will be very loud. Please ask nearby people to plug their ears,
and try not to operate near residential areas.
Airbag deployment
