airbag KIA CARNIVAL 2007 Owner's Manual

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in steering wheel and electrically connected to SRSCM via clockspring. It protects the
driver from danger by deploying a bag when frontal crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of Driver Airbag
(DAB).
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.

REMOVAL
1.Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the airbag module mounting bolts.
3.Disconnect the horn connector(A).
4.Release the connector locking pin(B), then disconnect the driver airbag module connector(C).
The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
5. Remove the steering wheel and steering wheel column cover(Refer to ST group in the Workshop Manual).
6. Disconnect the clock spring and horn connector, then remove the clock spring.
INSTALLATION
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes.

2.Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
3. Connect the clock spring harness connetor and horn harness connector to the clock spring.
4. Set the clock spring on neutral position and after turning the front wheels to the straight- ahead position, install the
clock spring.
5. Install the steering wheel column cover and the steering wheel. (Refer to ST group)
6. Connect the Driver Airbag (DAB) module connector and horn connector, then install the Driver Airbag (DAB)
module on the steering wheel.
7. Secure the Driver Airbag (DAB) with the new mounting bolts.
Tightening Torque (DAB Mounting Bolt)
: 0.8 ~ 1.1 kgf.m (7.9 ~ 10.8 Nm, 5.8 ~ 8.0 lb.ft)
8.Connect the battery negative cable.
9. After installing the airbag, confirm proper system operation:
a. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
b. Make sure horn button works.
INSPECTION
Driver Airbag (DAB)
If any improper parts are found during the following inspection, replace the airbag module with a new one.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.
1. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformities.
2. Check the airbag module for denting, cracking or deformation.
3. Check hooks and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binds.

4.Check airbag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5.Install the airbag module to the steering wheel to check for fit or alignment with the wheel.
Clockspring
1.If, as a result of the following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a new
one.
2. Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.

Passenger Airbag (PAB) Module

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
The passenger Airbag (PAB) is installed inside the crash pad and protects the front passenger in the event of a frontal
crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the PAB.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.

REMOVAL
1.Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
2. Remove the glove box. (Refer to BD group)
3. Disconnect the PAB connector and remove the PAB mounting bolts. (Refer to BD group)
4.Remove the crash pad. (Refer to BD group)
Replace the crash pad which is damaged while PAB is deployed.
5. Remove the heater duct from the crash pad.
6.Remove the mounting nuts from the crash pad. Then remove the passenger airbag.
The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the airbag coushion up.

INSTALLATION
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes.
2. Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
3. Place a Passenger Airbag (PAB) on the crash pad and tighten the Passenger Airbag (PAB) mounting nuts.
Tightening Torque
: 0.7 ~ 0.8 kgf.m (7.0 ~ 8.0 N.m, 5.2 ~ 5.9 lb.ft)
4. Install the heater duct to the crash pad.
5. Install the crash pad. (Refer to BD group)
6. Tighten the PAB mounting bolts.
Tightening Torque
: 1.2 ~ 1.3 kgf.m (12.0 ~ 13.0 N.m, 8.9 ~ 9.6 lb.ft)
7. Connect the Passenger Airbag (PAB) harness connector to the SRS main harness connector.
8. Reinstall the bolve box. (Refer to BD group)
9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
10. After installing the Passenger Airbag (PAB), confirm proper system operation:
a. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

Curtain Airbag (CAB) Module

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Curtain airbags are installed inside the headliner (LH and RH) and protect the driver and passenger from danger when
side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of curtain airbag by using side impact sensor (SIS) signal.
Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module even if you are using the specified tester. If
the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
