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.

REPAIR ROTARY COUPLER CENTRALISE
Fitting a rotary coupler which has not been centralised
could result in tape breakage. If the tape is broken, a
new rotary coupler must be fitted.
Providing the removal procedure has been correctly
followed this operation should not be necessary. If
however there is evidence of tampering, it is
imperative that the coupler is centralised.
CAUTION: Ensure wheels are positioned
straight ahead before fitting the rotary
coupler.
1.Correctly fit rotary coupler to column switch
assembly but do not fit steering wheel or make
any electrical connections.
See rotary coupler.
2.Depress rotary coupler locking peg and without
using undue force, rotate coupler anti-clockwise
as far as inner tape will allow. Releasing peg will
lock coupler in its current position.
NOTE: Do not apply excessive force when
limit is reached as this may result in tape
breakage. If no limit can be found, tape
has already broken and rotary coupler must be
replaced.
3.Having turned rotary coupler fully anti-clockwise
to limit position, proceed to turn coupler 2.5 turns
clockwise to obtain central position. (Coupler will
normally rotate a full five turns from
anti-clockwise limit to clockwise limit).
4.Make necessary electrical connections and refit
steering wheel.
See steering wheel.
5.Refit driver's airbag module.See driver's
airbag module.

REPAIR AIRBAG MANUAL DEPLOYMENT
CAUTION: Deployment in the vehicle will
damage the steering wheel; if the vehicle
is not being scrapped deploy the module
away from the vehicle in accordance with the
separate procedure.
If a vehicle is to be scrapped and contains an
undeployed airbag module, the module must be
manually deployed. This operation should only be
carried out using the following recommended manual
deployment procedure.
Before deployment is started the deployment tool self
test procedure should be carried out.

These guidelines are written to aid authorised
personnel to carry out the safe disposal of the airbag
module when fitted to the vehicle.
WARNING: Only use the LAND ROVER
approved deployment equipment. Deploy
airbag module in a well ventilated
designated area. Ensure airbag module is not
damaged or ruptured before deploying.
