2001 LAND ROVER FREELANDER steering

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-21
It should be noted that these precautions are not
restricted to operations performed when servicing
the SRS system, the same care should be exercised
when working on ancillary systems and components
located in the vicinity of SRS components; these
include but are not limited to:
lSteering system – steering wheel airbag,
rotary coupler.
lFront fascia – passenger front airbag (where
fitted); SRS DCU behind centre console, on
transmission tunnel under the HeVAC system.
lFront seats – seat belt pre-tensioners, integral
with seat belt buckle assembly.
lElectrical system – SRS harnesses, link leads
and connectors.
Making the SRS system safe
Before working on or in the vicinity of SRS
components, ensure the system is rendered safe by
performing the following procedures:
lRemove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
lDisconnect both battery leads, earth lead first.
lWait 10 minutes for the SRS DCU back-up
power circuit to discharge.
The SRS system uses energy reserve capacitors
that keep the system active in the event of electrical
supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary
to allow the capacitor sufficient time to discharge (10
minutes) in order to avoid the risk of accidental
deployment.
WARNING: Always disconnect both battery leads
before beginning work on the SRS system.
Disconnect the negative battery lead first. Never
reverse connect the battery.Installation
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained
so that it is ready for effective operation in the event
of a collision. Carefully inspect SRS components
before installation. Do not install a part that shows
signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such
as dents, cracks or deformation.
WARNING: The integrity of SRS system
components is critical for safety reasons. Ensure
the following precautions are always adhered to:
lNever install used SRS components from
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS
component.
lWhen repairing an SRS system only use
genuine new parts.
lNever apply electrical power to an SRS
component unless instructed to do so as
part of an approved test procedure.
lSpecial Torx bolts are necessary for
installing the airbag module — do not use
other bolts. Ensure bolts are tightened to the
correct torque.
lAlways use new fixings when replacing an
SRS component.
lEnsure the SRS Diagnostic Control Unit
(DCU) is always installed correctly. There
must not be any gap between the DCU and
the bracket to which it is mounted. An
incorrectly mounted DCU could cause the
system to malfunction.
CAUTION: Ensure SRS components are not
contaminated with oil, grease, detergent or
water.
Ensure that SRS component fixings are correctly
positioned and torqued during service and repair.
CAUTION: Torque wrenches should be regularly
checked for accuracy to ensure that all fixings
are tightened to the correct torque.
If you suspect an airbag assembly could be
defective, install a new unit and dispose of the old
unit. Manually deploy the old unit before disposal.

SRS component replacement policy
The following information details the policy for
replacement of SRS components; either as a result
of a vehicle accident or as a result of vehicle age.
Impacts which do not deploy the airbags or seat
belt pre-tensioners
Check for structural damage in the area of the
impact, paying particular attention to bumper
armatures, longitudinals, crash cans and bracketry.
Impacts which deploy the airbags and/or seat
belt pre-tensioners
The inspection and replacement policy is dependent
on the type and severity of the crash condition. The
following guidelines are the minimum that should be
exercised as a result of the deployment of specific
SRS components.
Front airbag/ seat belt pre-tensioner deployment
(driver and passenger)
If the front airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners are
deployed as a result of a front, front angled or side
impact, the following parts must be replaced:
lDriver airbag module
lPassenger airbag module (where fitted)
lSRS flyleads
lSRS DCU
lRotary coupler
lFront seat belt pre-tensioners
In addition, the following should be inspected for
damage and replaced as necessary:
lFront seat belt and buckle tongue (anchorage
points, webbing etc.)
lFascia moulding adjacent to passenger airbag
module (where fitted)
lSteering wheel (if damage is evident)
lFront seat frames and head restraints (if there is
evidence of damage to the seat frame or
cushion pan)
lSteering column (if adjustment is lost or there
are signs of collapse)
lFront seat belt height adjusters on 'BC' posts (5
door models only)
lRear seat belts and seat belt buckles (webbing,
buckle covers, body anchorage and tongue
latching function)Rear Impact
If the seat belt pre-tensioners are deployed during a
rear impact, the following components must be
replaced:
lSeat belt pre-tensioners
lFront and rear automatic seat belt assemblies
used during an impact.
lSRS DCU
In addition, the following components should be
inspected for damage and replaced as necessary:
lFront seat frames
lFront seat belts and buckle (retractors,
webbing, tongue latching, buckle covers, body
anchorages and 'D' loops)
lSeat belt height adjusters (5 door models only)
lRear seat belts and seat belt buckles (webbing,
buckle covers, body anchorage and tongue
latching function)
Periodic replacement of SRS components
The performance of the propellants within airbags
and seat belt pre-tensioners will deteriorate over a
period of time. As a result, it is essential that the
airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners are periodically
replaced to maintain occupant safety. Airbags, seat
belt pre-tensioners and the rotary coupler should be
replaced at the recommended intervals.
