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.

6.4.21.4
Airbag Disarming/Arming
Procedures
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
WARNINGS:
Disarm the airbags by disconnecting the battery
ground (black)
lead,
waiting one minute and then
removing the airbag modules before servicing of
any airbag or steering column component.
After disconnecting the battery ground
lead,
allow
a minimum of one minute delay for the back-up
power supply to discharge before servicing the
airbag system.
The system components are non-serviceable, if
faults are
suspected,
change components for new
items
only.

Failure to observe the above procedures may
result in accidental deployment of the airbags.
Always wear safety
glasses
when working on airbag
equipped vehicles.
Personnel carrying an airbag module must ensure
that the module and trim cover are pointing away
from the
body.
When positioning on a bench or
work surface, ensure that the airbag module and
trim cover face upwards to limit motion on
accidental deployment.
Always wear
gloves
when handling deployed airbag
modules. Deposits of sodium hydroxide may be
presenton the module surface. If sodium hydroxide
contacts any area of the skin, wash the affected
area immediately with mild soap and
water.

Dispose of the deployed airbag using the correct
procedures referred to in this section.
Cautions:
When scrapping vehicles,
ensure
that the
airbags
have
been deployed (see
Scrapping Vehicles
with Live
Airbags).

If a component
has been
renewed and the fault
does
not

clear,
refit the original item and repeat the diagnostic
procedure.
After
servicing,
repeatthe diagnostic
procedures
to ensure
correct
system
operation.

Renew
the airbag module if the surrounding trim
panels

are
damaged.
Do not attempt to repaint trim covers as
paint may
damage
cover material.
Disarming the Airbags
3.
4.
WARNING: Carry out the following disarming
procedure before attempting any work on the
vehicles electrical
systems.

Note: The battery ground (black) lead must be
disconnected within 12 seconds of switching off the
ignition to avoid the alarm siren sounding.
Disconnect the battery ground
lead.
Allow a
minimum of one minute delay for the back-up
power supply to discharge.
Remove the drivers side airbag module and replace
it with an airbag simulatorfrom the simulator kit (Pt

No.
43.27028).
Remove the passengers airbag module and replace
it with an airbag simulator from the simulator kit.
Reconnect the battery ground.
Rearming the Airbags
WARNING: Carry out the following procedure to
rearm and check the airbags after completing all
work on the vehicles electrical
systems.

Note: The vehicle battery
must be
disconnected within
12
seconds
of switching off
the
ignition
to
avoid the alarm
siren sounding.
^. Disconnect the battery ground
lead.
Allow a
minimum of one minute delay for the back-up
power supply to discharge.

2.
Removethedriverssideairbagsimulatorand replace
it with the drivers airbag module. Secure the airbag
module with the two captive torx screws.
3. Remove the passengers side airbag simulator and
replace it with the passenger side airbag module.
Secure the module with four nuts and washers.
Close the passenger side airbag door.

4.
Reconnect the battery ground.
5. Switch on the ignition and check for correct
indications from the SRS/AIRBAG warning light.
TheSRS/AIRBAC lamp should come on after
a
brief
delay and remain on for approximately six seconds
during the airbag system self check. The lamp will
extinguish upon satisfactory completion of the self
check, or will flash a diagnostic code if an airbag
system fault is detected. Continuous illumination of
the warning lamp may indicate a seatbelt
pretensioner fault
Note:
Reset the
clock and window
ECUs
on completion.
