Airbag System
Eye Protection
Chemical protective goggles are recommended
where there is a possibility of eye contact with the
propellant. Safety glasses with side shields are
recommended for all other operations.
Protective Clothing
Approved protective gloves, overalls and shoes/
boots should be worn.
Handling and Storage Precautions
Do not store airbag modules near live electrical
equipment or circuitry. Store in a dry environment
at ambient temperatures.
Good housekeeping and engineering practices
should be employed to prevent the generation and
accumulation of
dusts.
Store in compliance with all
local state and federal regulations.
Driver and Passenger Airbag Modules
Assembly/Removal/Service Instructions
WARNING: In the event of a vehicle impact where the
airbags and the seatbeltpretensioner (if fitted) are
deployed, the following actions MUST be
performed:
Check the condition of the seatbelts, steering
wheel,
steering column, all connections to airbags,
and the column switchgear connectors for integrity
and damage. If in any
doubt,
replace suspected
parts for new parts.
Replace both crash
sensors,
the
safing sensor
and
the seatbelt pretensioner module (if fitted).
On completion of all repair procedures, switch on
the ignition and check that the
Airbag/SRS
warning
light comes on when the ignition is switched on
and extinguishes after approximately six seconds
indicating satisfactory completion of the airbag
and pretensioner
system
self
tests.
WARNING: Before starting
work,
ensure
that the ignition
switch is in position 'O' and the ignition key is
removed.
Disconnect the battery negative lead
within 12 seconds of switching off the ignition to
prevent the alarm system triggering.
As the airbag control module is equipped with a
back-up power source and due to the risk of the
airbag being inadvertently deployed, wait one
minute or longer after disconnecting the battery
before starting work on the airbag module.
• Disconnectingthe battery negative cable cancels
the memory for the 'one-touch' window down
system and stops the vehicle clock. Reset the
window memory and the clock when work is
completed.
• Never use airbags from other vehicles, always
use new parts.
• After work is completed, reconnect the battery
and perform the airbag warning light check
• Never use electrical probes to check voltage or
electrical resistance of the airbag modules.
• Disconnect the airbag before carrying out any
work on, or in the vicinity of the module, or
when using electric welding equipment.
• Always ensure that the battery negative lead has
been disconnected for at least one minute before
commencing any removal procedure.

Air Conditioning
System Trouble Shooting
System Trouble Shooting
There are five basic symptoms associated with air conditioning fault diagnosis. It is very important to identify the area of
concern before starting a rectification procedure. Spend time with your customer on problem identification, and use the
following trouble shooting guide.
The following conditions are not in order of priority.
No Cooling
1.
Is the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch functional?
2.
Is the electrical circuit to the blower motor(s) functional?
3. Slack or broken compressor drive belt.
4.
Compressor partially or completely seized.
5. Compressor shaft seal leak (see 9).
6. Compressor valve or piston damag^ (may be indicated by small variation between HIGH & LOW side pressures
relative to engine speed).
7. Broken refrigerant pipe (causing total loss of refrigerant).
8. Leak in system (causing total loss of refrigerant).
9. Blocked filter in the receiver drier.
10.
Evaporator sensor disconnected?
11.
Dual pressure switch faulty?
Note:
Should a
leak or low
refrigerant be established as
the
cause,
follow
the procedures
for
Recovery-Recycle
-Recharge,
and
observe all refrigerant and oil handling instructions.
insufficient Cooing
1.
Blower motor(s) sluggish.
2.
Restricted blower inlet or outlet passage
3. Blocked or partially restricted condenser matrix or fins.
4.
Blocked or partially restricted evaporator matrix.
5. Blocked or partially restricted filter in the receiver drier.
6. Blocked or partially restricted expansion valve.
7. Partially collapsed flexible pipe.
8. Expansion valve temperature sensor faulty (this sensor is integral with valve and is not serviceable).
9. Excessive moisture in the system.
10.
Air in the system.
11.
Low refrigerant charge.
