Do the troubleshooting if the alarm lamp re-illuminates after its extinguishments following the 6-second-flashing (or it keeps
illuminating from the very beginning)
10. Test
a. Driver’s side airbag module test (Figure8-3)
Check the following items and replace the corresponding safety airbag module part with anything abnormal with a new one.
Abandon the safety airbag’s old parts after its release according to the instructed procedure.
Caution
Do not jam the clock spring wiring harness during the steering wheel and safety airbag module assembly installation.
After the installation, rotate the steering wheel to left and right positions as enough as possible to confirm whether something
abnormal is with it.
d. Post-installation test.
lightly rotate the steering wheel to the left and right to confirm whether something abnormal and noises will arise.(Driver’s side
safety airbag module, clock spring)
Place the ignition switch in ON place.
SRS alarm lamp flashes in 6 seconds and then extinguishes.
Caution
If without the clock spring central involution, the steering wheel will not be able to rotate at midway, or the clock spring
circuit will be damaged so that jeopardize SRS safety airbag’s normal activities.
The spacer must be removed after replacing a clock spring with a new one, otherwise it will damage the clock spring.
c. Steering wheel and safety airbag module assembly installation.
Install the steering wheel and safety airbag module assembly after clock spring’s central involution.

Caution
The safety airbag module (squib) circuit resistance can even not be tested by the designated tester.
When testing the resistance with an experimental instrument, sometimes the improper release will be caused by the
static interference because of the current in explosion pipe and cause some major damaging accidents.
Whether depression, crack or deformation is with the shroud.
Whether the joint is broken and the terminal is deformed.
Whether depression, crack or deformation is with the gas generator shield.

Caution
Replace the safety airbag with depression, crack or deformation with a new one. Its old parts must be abandoned after
its release.

Safety airbag module abandoning instruction
Carry out the operation according to the following procedure to abandon a safety airbag module or a vehicle with the SRS
safety airbag. First of all, release the safety airbag.
Unreleased safety airbag module abandoning
Caution
First release the SRS safety airbag when abdbdon it.
Release the safety airbag outside the vehicle to replace the safety airbag module.
Conduct the operation somewhere next to a smoke tester due to the smoke during the safety airbag’s release.
Tell the people to cover their ears and try to conduct the operation somewhere far away from the residential area due
to the big noise during the safety airbag’s release.
Remove the accumulator positive and negative and remove the accumulator off the vehicle.
Caution
Continue the operation 60 seconds after the removal of accumulator positive and negative.
Release the safety airbag module according to the following procedure.
1. Driver’s side safety airbag module
a. Remove the blocking lever
b. Remove the clock spring 2# joint and instrument panel wiring harness joint (yellow)(figure 8.6)
Caution
The clock spring joint will short automatically after the removal of clock spring from the instrument wiring harness,
which can prevent any possible major accident caused by the incorrect release of driver’s side safety airbag module duo
to the static interference from happening.
c. Connect the SRS safety airbag translation wring harness with 2 6m plus release wiring harnesses, wrap the joint part with
insulating tape for insulation.

releases wring harness. Mutually connect (short) the other end of release wring harness to avoid the possible incorrect release caused by the static
interference.
d. At the clock spring’s 2# joint, tract the translation wiring harness out of the vehicle with the release wiring harness (Figure 9.2)
e. Close all the windows and doors and wear the guard to reduce the noises.
Caution
The guard should be worn because the glass with cracks is very fragile.
f. Shut off the joint of driver’s side safety airbag release wiring harness somewhere far from the vehicle, and connects the joint
with the accumulator and makes the safety airbag release.

Caution
Continue the operation after the confirmation of nobody is in or next to the vehicle.
Its gas generator is quite hot after the driver’s side safety airbag’s release, it can be used after its cooling down for more
than 30 minutes.
Contact with the local service station of the Great Wall Auto Stock Corporation if the driver’s side safety airbag module
cannot be released.
g. Abandon the released driver’s side safety airbag module according to the instructions.

2. Release outside the vehicle
Caution
Release the safety airbag somewhere open and plain as well as 6m plus from the obstacles and people
When release the safety airbag outdoors, try to avoid the strong wind and ignite windward in the breeze.
a. Remove the accumulator negative and positive and remove the accumulator.
Caution
Continue the operation 60 seconds after the removal of the accumulator.
b. Release the safety airbag module according to following procedure
driver’s side safety airbag module
remove the driver’s side safety airbag module off the vehicle.
Caution
The two ends of the terminal will short automatically without the joint connection of driver’s safety airbag module,
therefore the possible improper release caused by static interference can be avoided; if it improperly releases, keep the
released side up and store it somewhere plain, do not lay anything on it.
Prepare 2 6m plus release wiring harnesses and mutually connect the other ends(short-circuit) of them to avoid the possible
improper release caused by static interference.( refer to figure 9-4)
Touch the vehicle with your hands to eliminate the static electricity.
Caution
Strictly execute the previous procedure for it can prevent the possible incorrect release caused by the static interference
from happening.
Shut off the driver’s side safety airbag module wiring harness and connect it with two release wiring harnesses( refer to figure
9-5)
