2008 GEELY FC steering wheel

Inspection
I. The inspection for airbag module at the side of
driver could be divided into three situations:
Automobile is not impacted, automobile is impacted but
airbag does not explode, and automobile is impacted and
airbag explodes.
1. Automobile is not impacted:
a. Make malfunction diagnostic inspection,
b. Check the safety airbag assembled on steering wheel
with your eyes,
including following items mainly:
Check whether the airbag has any cut, small crack or the surface and concave slot of airbag has
obvious changed color.
2. Automobile is impacted but airbag does not explode:
a. Make malfunction diagnostic inspection,
b. Check the disassembled safety airbag with your eyes, including following items mainly:
Check whether the airbag has any cut, small crack or the surface and concave slot of airbag has
obvious changed color.
Check whether wiring harness has any cut, crack or joint has any flaw,
Check whether steering wheel has distorted,
Check whether the plug and wiring harness of helix cable has been damaged, the loudspeaker wiring
harness plug and wiring harness has been damaged or distorted,
Check whether contacting board of steering wheel loudspeaker button has been distorted (if it has
been distorted, it is necessary to change with new safety airbag module, forbid repairing it),
Interruption situation could happen between safety airbag module and steering wheel lower defend-
ing cover, and when new airbag module is assembled on steering wheel, its surrounding clearance
must be even (Assemble and disassemble of driver airbag module should accord with correct step to
work).
3. Automobile is impacted and airbag explodes:
a. Make malfunction diagnostic inspection,
b. Check the disassembled safety airbag with your eyes, including following items mainly:
Check whether the plug and wiring harness of helix cable has been damaged, the loudspeaker wiring
harness plug and wiring harness has been damaged or distorted,
Check whether wiring harness has any cut, crack or joint has any flaw,
Check whether steering wheel has distorted,
Interruption situation could happen between safety airbag
module and steering wheel lower defending cover, and
when new airbag module is assembled on steering wheel,
its surrounding clearance must be even (Assemble and
disassemble of driver airbag module should accord with
correct step to work)
II. The inspection for airbag module at the side of
passenger could be divided into three situations:
Automobile is not impacted, automobile is impacted but
airbag does not explode, and automobile is impacted and
airbag explodes.

Diagnosis of impacted automobile
No matter whether the safety airbag has been unfolded, the inspection and maintenance for impacted auto-
mobile should be made by following sequence.
1. Check the ECU diagnostic signal.
(1) Connect the diagnostic joint of diagnostic tool,
(2) Use diagnostic tool to read the diagnostic result.
2. Repair sequence
Note: For the impact, when power supply of battery is lack, diagnostic tool could not communicate
with ECU, at this time, it is necessary to check and maintain the wiring harness of panel or use
exterior power supply.
(1) When safety airbag has been unfolded,
Following parts should be changed with new ones
a. Safety airbag assembly at the side of passenger
b. ECU
c. Safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
d. Pre-tension safety belt at the side of driver and passenger
Check the following parts, if they are abnormal, change them with new ones
a. Helix cable
b. Steering wheel, steering column, combination switch
Assembling state for steering wheel of safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
a. Check whether there is any abnormal noise in steering wheel, its action is flexible and clearance is
normal.
b. Check whether the joint of wiring harness is damaged or terminal is distorted.

Disassemble and assemble
Electronic control unit of safety airbag (ECU)
1. Note (referring to chapter 1)
2. Disassembling sequence:
(1) Disassemble the cover board at the side of central channel (or disassemble auxiliary panel).
(2) Disassemble the connector connecting with safety airbag ECU.
(3) Disassemble the ECU.
3. Assembling sequence
(1) Check the ECU assembly, and make arrow direction on hint card point to running direction of automobile.
(2) Assemble the connector connecting with safety airbag ECU, the connector should be locked firmly (if
you hear a light sound “KA” when press the connector, this shows it has been locked).
a. Fix the special bolt used by controller assembly on assembling position of central channel, and
confirm it has been assembled firmly.
b. Assemble the cover board at the side of central channel (or assemble auxiliary panel).
c. Connect the cathode of battery.
4. Main notes of assembling operation:
(1) When assembling ECU assembly, pay attention to that ECU assembly could not be impacted.
(2) Inspection after the assembling
a. Set the ignition switch at ON position.
b. Indicating light illuminates at 7 second, and continues to extinguish.
c. If it does not extinguish, it is necessary to check and remove malfunction.
Note: if ECU could not be assembled correctly, safety airbag will not work normally.
5. Inspection: referring to chapter 2.
6. Removing malfunction: referring to chapter 3.
3. Place the steering wheel and front wheels correctly
and make them face the front, and take out ignition
switch key, then do not operate it in 60 seconds af-
ter disassembling the cathode of battery.
4. Disassemble safety airbag assembly at the side of
driver:
(1) Guarantee the wheels face the front.
(2) Use 5s hexagon socket-head wrench to loosen the two plan-
etary bolts.
(3) Pull out the safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
from upside of steering wheel.
Safety airbag assembly at the side of driver
1. Note (referring to chapter 1).

Supplemental restraint system--Disassemble and assemble
(4) Disassemble the joint of loudspeaker and airbag wiring
harness.
(5) Take down safety airbag module at the side of driver.
Note:Disassembled safety airbag assembly at the side
of driver should make its bottom surface face
the upwards, and it should be stored in clean
and dry environment.
5. Check the safety airbag assembly at the side of
driver.
6. Disassemble steering wheel:
Disassemble assembling screws to take down steering wheel
from the middle position.
Note:For the mesh of spline and column is too tight, steer-
ing wheel is hard to disconnect from the column, at
this time, pay attention to do not disassemble the
steering wheel compulsively, it is necessary to
screw the screws on column, then lift the steering
wheel up (for steering wheel connects with helix
cable at its bottom, if disassembling steering wheel
compulsively, helix cable will be damaged).
7. Disassemble the lower cover of combination switch
Disassemble three screws and lower cover of combination
switch.
8. Disassemble helix cable:

(2) Disassemble airbag joint from helix cable.
(3) Disassemble three fixed claws and helix cable.
Note:disassembled helix cable should be stored in
clean and dry environment.
9. Check the helix cable:
(1) When assembling new helix cable, check whether the yel-
low fixed clamp on helix cable is good, if yellow clamp drops,
please adjust by the requirement on hint card of helix cable,
insure helix cable could turn left and right for 2.5 circles on
its existing fixed position.
(2) If finding following situations, it is necessary to change the
helix cable with new one.
a. There are some scratches or cracks on joint.
b. There are cracks, concaves or flaws on wiring harness
of helix cable.
10. Remove malfunction (referring to chapter 3).
11. Make the wheels face the front.
Note: it is necessary to make the front wheels face the
front, or the wires in helix cable might break in steer-
ing process.
12. Assemble helix cable:
(1) Inspection before assembling (referring to item 9).
(2) Set the steering light switch at middle position.
The pin of steering light switch may be broken, so it must
be confirmed whether the pin is at central position.
