REPAIR UPPER STEERING COLUMN
Service repair no - 57.40.01
NOTE: Steering column assembly is not a
serviceable component.
CAUTION: Before removing any parts of
steering linkage, it is imperative that road
wheels are positioned straight ahead. then
steering wheel removed to prevent rotary coupler
being wound up or damaged.
CAUTION: After refitting steering linkage
parts follow correct procedure to ensure
that road wheels, steering box and
steering wheel are correctly positioned relative to
each other when in straight ahead condition. if
steering wheel requires repositioning, ensure that
drive pegs on rotary coupler are correctly
positioned before steering wheel is replaced.
This ensures drive pegs locate in their holes in
rear of steering wheel.
After final alignment, connect rotary coupler
multiplug, tighten steering wheel securing nut and
fit airbag - if fitted or steering wheel trim pad and
horn push assembly.
Remove
1.Remove steering wheel.

CAUTION: Prevent rotation of rotary
coupler once steering wheel is removed.

75SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM
2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OPERATION
The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) is a
safety device which, when used in conjunction with
the seat belt, is designed to protect the driver and
front passenger.
Two different SRS systems are fitted to Discovery.
The Distributed SRS which has two crash sensors
located in the engine compartment on the chassis
longitudinals and the Single Point Sensing (SPS) SRS
which has a single crash sensor located in the Airbag
diagnostic control unit.
The change from distributed SRS to SPS SRS
occurred at VINs198222and528977.
Distributed SRS
In the event of a frontal impact, when the airbag
diagnostic control unit and one of the airbag crash
sensors senses the impact, the diagnostic control unit
fires igniters. This in turn ignites tablets of sodium
azide which generate a large amount of Nitrogen gas
leading to airbag inflation in approximately 30
milli-seconds.SPS SRS
In the event of a frontal impact, when the airbag
diagnostic control unit senses the impact, the
diagnostic control unit fires igniters. This in turn ignites
tablets of sodium azide which generate a large
amount of Nitrogen gas leading to airbag inflation in
approximately 30 milli-seconds.
All Models
When fully deployed the airbag offers additional
protection to the front seat occupant. As an occupant
moves into the airbag it immediately discharges the
gas to provide progressive occupant deceleration and
reduce risk of injuries. The whole process is
completed in approximately 0.3 seconds.
WARNING: All the airbag system
components, including the wiring harness,
MUST be renewed after the airbags have
deployed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SRS warning light (airbag)
Distributed SRS
The warning light in the instrument pack illuminates
after the electrical circuits are switched on whilst a
system check is carried out. After about 8 seconds the
warning light will go out. The system checks airbag
diagnostic control unit, airbag crash sensors, airbag
harness, driver and passenger modules.
SPS SRS
The warning light in the instrument pack illuminates
after the electrical circuits are switched on whilst a
system check is carried out. After about 5 seconds the
warning light will go out. The system checks airbag
diagnostic control unit, airbag harness, driver and
passenger modules.
All Models
In the event of a fault in the system the warning light
will illuminate. The airbag diagnostic control unit logs
the fault which can only be accessed using TestBook.
