steering wheel ISUZU TROOPER 1995 Repair Manual

SRS COIL ASSEMBLY
The SRS coil assembly consists of two current carrying
coils. They are attached to the steering column and allow
rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining
continuous contact of the driver deployment loop to the
driver inflator module.
There is a shorting clip on the yellow
3-way connector
near the base of the steering column which connects the
SRS coil to the SRS wiring harness. The shorting clip
shorts the circuits to the
SRS coil and driver inflator
module when the yellow 3-way connector is
disconnected. The circuit to the driver inflator module is
shorted
in this way to help prevent unwanted deployment
of the air bag when servicing the steering column or other
SRS components.
INFLATOR MODULES
The inflator modules consist of an inflatable bag and an
inflator(a canister of gas-generating material and an
initiating device). When the vehicle is in a frontal crash
of sufficient force to close the dual pole arming sensor
and at least one of the discriminating sensors
simultaneously, current flows through the deployment
loops. Current passing through the initiator ignites the
material
in the inflator module. The gas produced from
this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag.
There is a shorting clip
on the driver inflator module side
of the upper steering column connector which connects
the
SRS coil assembly to the driver inflator module. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver inflator module
circuits when the upper steering column connector is
disconnected. The circuit to the driver inflator module is
shorted
in this way to help prevent unwanted deployment
of the air bag when servicing the driver inflator module,
the steering column
or other SRS components.
There is a shorting clip on the passenger inflator module
connector which connects to the passenger inflator
module jumper. The shorting clip shorts across the
passenger inflator module circuit when the passenger
inflator module connector is disconnected. The circuit to
the passenger inflator module is shorted in this way to
help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when
servicing the passenger inflator module, the instrument
panel or other
SRS components.
STEERING COLUMN
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed to
compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance of
injury to the driver. A steering column reinforcement is
also used for additional support.
KNEE BOLSTER
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy and control
the forward movement of the vehicle's front seat
occupants during a frontal crash, by limiting leg
movement.

INFLATOR MODULE HANDLING/SHIPPING/SCRAPPI G
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) INFLATOR MODULE ~
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) inflator module. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the inflator module, or an object in front of
the inflator module,
to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE INFLATOR
MODULE, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING IS
POINTED
AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL THEN
DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY.
NEVER CARRY THE INFLATOR MODULE BY THE
WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF
THE MODULE.WHEN PLACING A LIVE INFLATOR
MODULE ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE,
ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND TRIM COVER UP,
AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY
SO
THAT A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW
THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT
OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. NEVER REST A
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY ON THE
STEERING WHEEL WITH THE INFLATOR MODULE
FACE
DOWN AND COLUMN VERTICAL.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
INFLATOR MODULE SHIPPING PROCEDURES
FOR
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) INFLATOR
MODULES
Service personnel should refer to the latest Service
Bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping
procedures.
DEPLOYED INFLATOR MODULE
After the inflator module has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the
chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust( similar
to lye
soap)
is produced as a byproduct of the deployment
reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with
atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium
carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
Therefore, it
is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be
present after deployment. As with any procedures, you
should wear gloves and safety glasses.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW
THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY
DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The DERM in Driver-Passenger SRS can maintain
sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for up to 2
minutes after the ignition switch is turned to
"OFF," the
battery is disconnected, or the fuse powering the DERM
is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
"AIR BAG" fuse, and disconnection of the inflator
modules from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment.
If the inflator module is disconnected from
the deployment loop as noted in the "Disabling the
SRS"
procedure that follows, service can begin immediately
without waiting for the 2 minute time period to expire.
DISABLING THE SRS
REMOVAL
• Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle's wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
• Turn the ignition switch to "OFF"
1. Remove SRS fuse C-21, C-22, C-23 and C-24 from
left dash side lower fuse block.
2. Disconnect yellow
3-way connector at the base of
the steering column.
3. Remove
liP compartment door assembly, Refer to
"Passenger inflator module replacemenf' in section
9J-135.
4. Disconnect yellow 4-way connector behind the liP
compartment door assembly.
NOTE
• With the" AIR BAG" fuse removed and ignition switch
"ON," the "AiR BAG" warning lamp will be "ON." This
is normal operation and does not indicate
an SRS
malfunction.
ENABLING THE SRS
INSTALLATION
Turn ignition switch to "LOCK" and remove key.
1. Connect yellow 4-way connector of passenger
inflator module.
2. Install liP compartment door assembly, Refer to
"Passenger inflator module replacement" in section
9J-3.
3. Connect yellow 3-way connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install" AIR BAG" fuse C-21, C-22, C-23 and C-24 to
left dash side lower fuse block.
Tum ignition switch to
"RUN" and verify that the "AIR
BAG"
warning lamp flashes seven times and then turns
"OFF" If it does not operate as described, perform the
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" in section 9J-32.
HANDLING/INSTALLATION/DIAGNOSIS
1. Inflator modules should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65°C(150°F).
2. Discriminating s~nsors, inflator modules, arming
sensors, or DERMs should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 1
00 centimeters (3.28
feet) or more.
3. When a discriminating sensor or arming sensor is
replaced, it MUST be oriented with the arrow
on the
sensor pointing toward the front of the vehicle.
It is
very important for the discriminating sensors and
arming sensor to be located flat on the mounting
surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line.
It is
important that the sensor mounting surface is free of
any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this
will set a diagnostic trouble code.
5. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check'' must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS
Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper "AIR
BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacements.
INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER ACCI­
DENT
CAUTION: CERTAIN SRS COMPONENTS MUST BE
REPLACED AFTER A FRONTAL
CRASH INVOLVING
AIR
BAG DEPLOYMENT.
In all types of accident regardless of "Air Bag"
deployment, visually inspect all the following
components and their points and replace as required:
- Passenger
Inflator Module
- Steering wheel
- SRS coil assembly
- Steering column
- Knee bolster and
Instrument panel mounting

9J-118 Supplemental Restraint System
attachments
- Driver seat and belt
- Passenger seat and belt
- Dual Pole Arming
Sensor
-Discriminating Sensors
-DERM
The sensor replacement policy specifies mandatory
replacement of the sensors, after crash involving
AIR
BAG deployment. If AIR BAG has not been deployd,
Replace the sensors
in the area of accident damage only.
The
"area of accident damage" is defined as that area of
the vehicle which is crushed, bent ,or damaged in other
ways. An example might be a front-end collision
in which
the forward portions of the vehicle have contacted
another vehicle, tree, guardrail,etc.
In this example,
1)
If AIR BAG has deployed, All Sensor should be
replaced.
2)
If AIR BAG has not deployed, replace the sensors
in the area of accident damage only.
sensor(s) on the radiator tie bar would require
replacement, since that portion of the vehicle was
damaged in the accident. The Dual Pole Arming Sensor
would not require mandatory replacement. Of course, if
the DERM sets a code and the diagnostic chart leads to
a faulty sensor that was not in the area of accident
damage, that sensor should also be replaced.Sensors
in
the area of accident damage should be replaced even if
those sensors do not appear to be damaged. Do not
attempt to determine whether a sensor is
OK-ALWAYS
replace it if it is in the area of accident damage.Aiso, if a
sensor is
in an area of accident damage,but the SRS has
NOT been deployed,replace the sensor.The sensor
bracket may be slightly bent,wiring may be
damaged, etc., and the sensor might not work properly
in
another collision. Again, do not attempt to determine
whether a sensor is
OK --ALWAYS replace it if it is in
the area of accident damage. Also,
inspect
SRS coil assembly wiring and steering
wheel for any signs of scorching, melting, or damage due
to excessive heat.
If the coil assembly wire or steering ~
wheel is damaged, replace them. The steering column
and wheel must be dimensionally checked to determine
if they are damaged. Refer to
in this Section 3 of this
manual.
Never use
SRS parts from another vehicle. This does not
include remanufactured parts purchased from an
authorized
ISUZU Dealer; they may be used for SRS
repairs.
Do not attempt to repair the forward discriminating
sensors ,the dual pole arming senor, the DERM, the
SRS
coil assembly, the inflator modules, the steering wheel, or
the steering column. Service of these items is
replacement only.
Verify replacement part numbers.
CAUTION: PROPER OPERATION OF THE
SENSORS AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM(SRS)REQUIRES THAT ANY REPAIRS TO
THE VEHICLE STRUCTURE RETURN IT TO ITS
ORIGINAL PRODUCTION CONFIGURATION.
