AIR BAG SYSTEM
6) Contact Coil
The contact coil is installed between the steering wheel and the steering column and contains a
coil that enables to contact electrically between the airbag wiring harness, the driver airbag
module and the horn switch.
Turning the steering wheel more than three and onequarter turns may damage the clock
spring. The contact coil should never be disassembled and must be replaced if the airbag
have been deployed. -
Turn the label of the clock spring clockwise to lock and turn the label of the clock spring
counterclockwise approximately 2.9 ± 0.2 turns to the neutral positions with the front
wheels ahead.
Align the pointed marks “43”. -
7) Accelometer Sensor
The accelerometer sensor electronically represents the acceleration or deceleration of the
vehicle during a frontal impact.
In this electronic representation, the electrical signal is proportional to the acceleration o
r
deceleration of the vehicle.
8) Safety Sensor
The safety sensor is safety device made up of a dualcontact, electro-mechanical switch that:
Acts independently of the electronic components.
Connects the acceleration sensor in series in order to make up for the weak points in the
current electronic sensor. 1.

9) Micro Controller
This device receives the impact signal from the sensor for vehicle impact and identifies whether
the current condition is necessary for airbag deployment or not. And then the controller sends
the specified currents to the airbag ignition circuit as needed.
This device always monitors the airbag system in conduction with the diagnostic circuit. When it
is detected any problem, it illuminates the airbag warning indicator to inform driver of the fault
and stores the fault information.
10) Airbag Warning Lamp
The instrument cluster contains an airbag warning indicator bulb to verify the operation of the
AIRBAG indicator 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 tomes by supplying 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.

11) Wiring Harness Connectors
If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) electrical connector 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:
Driver airbag module connector
Passenger airbag module connector
Driver and passenger side airbag module connector
SDM wiring harness connector
Contact coil connector to airbag wiring harness ·
·
·
·
·
The shorting bar is only a backup safety device. Always disable the supplemental restraints
system (SRS) before beginning any service procedure.
12) Belt Pretensioner
The belt pretensioner enables to retract the driver and the passenger seat belt webbing to
reduce any personal impact when accounted a frontal collision.

50>
The air bag inflates when:
Frontal impact against a solid concrete wall at over 25 km/h or near-frontal impact
within 30 degrees from the center of the vehicle at both corners ·
The air bag can inflate when:
Underbody impact from the road surface; impact against the curb at a very high speed;
dropping impact onto the road surface with a large angle ·
The air bag does not inflate when:
Rollover, side impact or rear impact ·
The air bag seldom inflates when:
Weak impact in which the sensor is unable to detect (under the inflation requirements)
Impact against narrow objects such as a telegraph pole or a tree
The vehicle falls into a drainage or a puddle
The front of the vehicle crashes into high impact point vehicle such as a truck
Impact on the hood by falling stones
The air bag warning lamp is on ·
