indicator lamp
·place the ignition switch in ON position
·light other alarm and indicator lamps No Test the instrument cluster power-supply
system and grounding s ystem (fuse), then
go to step 5.
Yes Next step
2 Bulb test
Warning:
Incorrect handling with the safety airbag system
units will cause the safety airbag’s improper
release and pretension of safety belt, which will
lead to serene accidents. Please read safety airbag
service warning before handling the safety airbag
units.
·Place the ignition switch in LOCK position。
·shut off accumulator negative line and keep the
status for at least 60 seconds.

Check the connection of corresponding terminals between
instrument connector clip and diagnostic interface
(diagnose the two ends of K-line) No Repair or replace the wiring
harness and continue according to
step 5
Yes Next step
3 Make sure the shutoff of accumulator negative line and
keep the status for at least 1 minute.
Shut off ECU connector clip
Shut off the instrument cluster plug.
Connect the ECU plug terminal 5,7,9 and instrument
cluster plug? No Replace the wiring harness and
step 5
Yes Replace ECU
4 Remove EC U to check the condition of term inal and
whether the shorting bar is broken.
No Reconnect EC U connector clip
and next step.
Yes Troubleshooting followed by the
explanations to customers upon
the repair ing pro ced ur e.
5
Make sure that the failure will never reoccur after
repairing.
Place the ignition switch in LO C K position。
Shut off accumulator negative line and keep the status for
at least 1 m in ute.
Connect all ECU plugs
Connect the driver’s side safety airbag combined
instrum ent p lug
Connect the passengers’ side safety airbag combined
instrum ent p lug
Connect the driver and passengers’ side pretension safety
belts plugs.
(Vehicles with pretension safety-b elts)
Connect clock spring plug
Connect the accumulator negative line
Place the ignition switch in ON position
Does the safety airbag alarm lamp work functionally? No Retest the failure symptoms;
repeat from step 1 if the failure
reoccurs.

Impact-vehicle diagnosis
Test SRS-ECU diagnostic signals
1. Connect the (X-431 diagnostic test’s) diagnostic joint
2. Read the diagnostic results with X-431 diagnostic tester
Repairing procedure
1.When safety airbag is released.
The following parts should be replaced with new ones
a. Passengers’ side safety airbag module
b. SRS-ECU
c. Driver’s side safety airbag module
2 Check the following parts; replace them with new ones providing something wrong with them.
a. Clock spring
b. Steering-wheel, steering column, bottom steering shaft module
3.Driver’s side safety airbag module’s installation status towards the steering wheel.
a. Check whether abnormal knocking is with the steering wheel, its activity is in good condition and its clearance is normal.
b. Check whether the wiring harness joint is broken and its terminal is deformed.
Caution: Due to the impact, the diagnostic instrument cannot communicate with SRS-ECU when accumulator is lack of
power, in this case, check and maintain the instrument panel wiring harness or utilize the extension power supply.
