Safety airbag-30
wiring harness for release
shorting site
6m plus
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)

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.
