04Forced protection mode  : activates the immobiliser function even if the key is correct, which allows
starting prevention to be checked. Bargraph  9 left should illuminate.

AIRBAG - SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS 
Fault finding -Introduction 
CONDITIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE CHECKS DEFINED IN THIS FAULT FINDING
The checks defined in this fault finding should only be applied to a vehicle when the fault bargraph  is
illuminated, indicating that the fault is present on the vehicle at the time of checking. Only a computer
fault will require replacement of the computer, whether the bargraph is permanently illuminated or
flashing .
If the fault is not present but simply memorised, the bargraph flashes and application of the checks
recommended in the fault finding section  will not allow the origin of the fault to be found. In this case,
only a check of the wiring  and the connection of the component in question must be carried out (it is
possible to test the wiring concerned in fault finding  mode to try to obtain permanent illumination of the
bargraph ).
TOOLING REQUIRED FOR OPERATIONS ON THE AIRBAG  AND  SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER  SYSTEMS  :
- XR25 (with minimum   XR25 cassette  N° 16).
- XRBAG the updated N° 3 version (with the new measuring lead and its adaptors as well as the 30 track
adaptor for operations on the computer connector).
REMINDER:
When carrying out an operation on the airbag/seat belt pretensioner systems , it is essential to lock the
computer with the XR25 command  G80*  to avoid all risk of triggering at the wrong time (all firing lines
will be inhibited). This operating mode will be indicated by illumination of the warning light on the
instrument panel.
Never carry out any  measuring operations on the  airbag and pretensioners  trigger lines with equipment
other than the XRBAG.
Before using a dummy ignition module, ensure that its resistance is between 1.8 and 2.5 ohms.
Only 30 track connector computers with airbag(s)  function are able to be tested with the  XR25.
Computers with the pretensioner function only must be checked with the XRBAG by following the checks
described in the fault finding section.
The ignition must be switched off, then on again to make the warning light extinguish following erasure
of the memory  using the  command G0**.

This bargraph is normally illuminated in the following situations  :
- An impact has been detected.
- A fault was present in the computer memory  before the impact.
- This fault was declared by the illumination of the fault  warning light before the impact .
Bargraph 14  left hand side can in this way justify  non-release of an airbag or a  seat belt  pretensioner  .
Consult the  Techline if this bargraph  is illuminated  in other situations (no fault, no impact, ...).

REPLACING THE AIRBAG COMPUTER
The  airbag computers   are sold in locked mode to avoid all risk of release at the wrong time (all
trigger lines are inhibited). This operational mode is indicated by the illumination of the warning
light on the instrument panel.
When replacing the airbag computer, follow this procedure :
- Ensure that  the ignition is switched off.
- Replace  the computer.
- Carry out an XR25 check.
- Unlock the computer using  command G81*, only when no fault is declared.
