ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT
COMPONENTS REPLACEMENTS
All SIR components must be replaced after frontal
crash involving airbag deployment. After deployment,
a powdery residue may be on the surface of the air-
bag. The powder consists primarily of corn-
starch(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by–
products of the chemical reaction. The sodium
hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric mois-
ture and is converted to sodium bicarbonate(also
known as baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that
sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.
Replace the following SIR components.
CAUTION : Wear gloves and safely glasses dur-
ing the disposal procedure. Refer to ”Deployed
airbag module disposal procedure” in this sec-
tion.

ACCIDENT WITHOUT DEPLOYMENT
COMPONENT INSPECTION
Certain inspection must be performed after any
crash, whether the airbag has deployed or not. :
S The steering column must be dimensionally in-
spected.
S Inspect the knee bolsters and mounting points for
distortion, bending and cracking or other damages.
S Inspect the instrument panel(I/P) and steering col-
umn reinforcement plate for distorsion, bending and
cracking or other damage.
S Inspect the I/P braces for distortion, bending and
cracking or other damage.
S Inspect the seat belt and mounting points. Refer to
Section 8A, Seat Belts.

SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR
Removal and Installation Procedure
CAUTION : The sensing and diagnostic mod-
ule(SDM) can maintain sufficient voltage to
deploy the airbags and pretensioners for 1minute
after the ignition is OFF and the fuse has been re-
moved. If the airbags and pretensioners are not
disconnected, do not begin service until one
minute has passed after disconnecting power to
SDM. If the airbags are disconnected, service can
be executed immediately without waiting for
one–minute time period to expire. Failure to tem-
porarily disable the SIR during service can result
in unexpected deployment, personal injury and
unnecessary SIR repairs.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the trim from B pillar.
3. Remove the side airbag sensor mounting bolts.
4. Remove the side airbag sensor.
5. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order.
Tightening torque of the side airbag sensor mounting
bolts is 8 NSm (71 lb–in).

AIRBAG MODULE DEPLOYMENT
(INSIDE OF VEHICLE)
Deploy the airbags before disposing them. If a vehicle
to be scrapped, the airbag may be deployed inside the
vehicle.
CAUTION : To avoid injury while deploying an air-
bag or a pretensioner in the vehicle, observe the
following precaution :
S Before deploying the airbags, remove all loose ob-
jects from the airbag’s expansion area.
S Deploy the airbags with the vehicle doors closed
and the side windows open.
S Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated area. Ser-
vice personnel who must be present during the de-
ployment should be at least 10 meters(33 feet) in
front of the vehicle.
S Do not connect the voltage source until after having
completed all other preparations for the deployment
of airbags.
S Allow a deployed airbag module or pretensioner
cool for 30 minutes before handling.
S Wear gloves and eye protection during the disposal
procedure.
S If the deployment fails, disconnect the voltage
source and wait 5 minutes before approaching the
vehicle.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE
RESTRAINTS(SIR)
The supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) is a safety de-
vice used in conjunction with the seat belt. The air bag
does not replace the fuction of the seatbelt. The driver and
the passengers must always fasten their seat belts and
adjust them for a proper fit.
The SIR is designed to protect the driver and the front seat
passenger in the event of a significant frontal impact to the
vehicle. The airbags deploy if the force is applied from a
direction within 30 degrees of the vehicle’s center line.
The SIR system consists of a
S Driver airbag module
S Driver side airbag module
S Passenger airbag module
S Passenger side airbag module
S Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt pretension-
ers(and load limiter for some model).
S Sensing and diagnostic module(SDM)
S Clock spring.
S Wire harness and connectors.
S AIRBAG indicator on the instrument cluster.
S Side airbag sensor
AIRBAG MODULES
Driver Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with driver airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ments. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The driver airbag module is under the center pad of the
steering wheel. The driver airbag module contained an ig-
niter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded air-
bag.The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the driver airbag module during servicing. The
shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.
Passenger Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with passenger airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deply-
ment. Therefore, the passenger airbag module
should never be disassembled. The passenger airbag
module is on the passenger part of the instrument
panel. The passenger airbag module contains an ig-
niter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded
airbag .
The passenger airbag module is on the passenger part of
the instrument panel. The passenger airbag module con-
tains an igniter charge and a gas generator to inflate the
folded airbag .
The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the passenger airbag module during servicing.
The shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.
Side Airbag Module
CAUTION : Tempering with side airbag module
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ments. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The side airbag modules are in the driver’s and passen-
ger’s seats. The side airbag module contains an igniter
charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded airbag .
The airbag connector contains a shorting bar, which
makes the circuit shorted when the connector is discon-
nected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling
through the side airbag module during servicing. The
shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is con-
nected.

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
FRONT SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
CAUTION : Tempering with seat belt pretensioner
creates the risk of an injury from unexpected deploy-
ment. Therefore, the driver airbag module should
never be disassembled.
The seat belt pretensioners(with load limiter for some ve-
hicles) are assembled with each front seat belt retractors
to retract the seat belt webbing when accounted frontal
collision. The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by
sensing and diagnostic module(SDM). The seat belt pre-
tensioner contains an igniter charge and a gas generator
to pull the seat belt webbing. The seat belt pretensioner
must be replaced after an accident that causes its activa-
tion.
The seat belt pretensioner also contains a shorting bar to
prevent current from travelling through the seat belt pre-
tensioner during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged
when the connector is connected.
SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC
MODULE (SDM)
CAUTION : During the service procedures, be careful
when handling the SDM. Never shake or jar the SDM.
Never apply power to SIR when the SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. All SDM mounting bolts and
grounding nuts must be fully tightened. Failure to fol-
low these precautions could cause deployment and
result in personal injury.
The SDM is located on the floor beneath the floor console
assembly. The SDM performs the following functions :
S Monitors the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR)
electrical components and sets a diagnostic trouble
code(DTC) when malfunction is detected.
S Records any faults that are discovered.
S Displays SIR diagnostic trouble codes and system
status information when connected to a scan tool.
S Illuminates the airbag indicator to alert the driver to
any fault.S Provides a reserve power source to deploy the air-
bags and pretensioners if an accident has disabled
the normal power source.
S Monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal
impacts, which are severe enough to warrant de-
ployment.
S Causes current to flow through the airbag modules
and pretensioner to cause deployment if a frontal
impact of sufficient force is detected.
The SDM contains no user–serviceable parts.
AIRBAG WARNING LAMP
The instrument cluster contains an airbag warning indica-
tor and sensing and diagnostic module(SDM). The SDM
performs a turn–on test when the ignition is turned ON.
The SDM flashes the airbag indicator seven times by sup-
plying an intermittent ground to the indicator lamp circuit.
After flashing seven times, the airbag indicator will turn off
if no more malfunctions have been detected.
If the SDM has detected malfunctions in the internal and
external circuits, which could potentially affect the opera-
tion of the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR), the air-
bag indicator stays on. Some malfunctions could result in
non–deployment when necessary or deployment under
conditions which would not normally result in deployment.
When the SDM is not properly attached to its connector,
the airbag circuit is shorted to ground because there is a
shorting bar in the SDM electrical connector. The shorting
bar is disengaged when proper connection is made, but if
a poor connection exists the SDM connector supplied a
ground to the airbag indicator independently of the SDM,
and the airbag indicator turns on.
CLOCK SPRING
CAUTION : Disassembling the clock spring can cause
injury or cause the clock spring to malfunction.
CAUTION : Over–rotating the clock spring (over 3 and
one quarter turns to one direction) without the steer-
ing wheel in position could damage the clock spring
and result in an inoperative driver airbag.
There is a coil assembly in the steering which is referred
to as a clock spring because of its internal resemblance to
the type of spring used in a mechanical clock. The coil
8B – 102ISUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINTS (SIR)
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
spring should never be disassembled, and there is no
timekeeping function. The clock spring contains two or
three current–carrying coils. One of the current–carrying
coils maintains continuous contact within the driver de-
ployment loop while the steering wheel is rotated. The
clock spring also contains coils that maintain continuous
contact for horn and remote audio control switch circuit.
Turning the steering wheel in one direction tightens the
coil, and turning the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion loosens the coil. Do not turn the clock spring when the
steering wheel is not attached. Refer to ”Clock Spring” in
this section for proper installation of the clock spring.
The clock spring also includes the wiring and the connec-
tors for the horn circuit and the driver airbag circuit. A yel-
low two–way connector on the lower steering column is at-
tached to the clock spring wiring. The yellow connector to
the airbag contains a shorting bar which connects the driv-
er high circuit to driver low circuit when the connector is
disconnected.
The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through
the driver airbag module during servicing. The shorting bar
is disengaged when the clock spring connector is con-
nected.WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical con-
nector is not attached properly, a built in shorting bar will
connect the wire from airbag warning lamp with the SDM
ground wire. This turns on the airbag indicator . To prevent
deployment during servicing, additional shorting bars are
located in following locations :
S The clock spring electrical connector at the lower
steering column.
S The passenger airbag module.
S The driver airbag module.
S The seat belt pretensioners.
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always
disable the supplemental inflatable restraints(SIR) before
beginning any service procedure.
