Power Steering System-Steering Pipeline Component4-73I. Onboard Check1. Check the transmission strap.
Check the transmission strap whether it is worn out. If necessary, replace a new transmission strap.
Tips: Crack at the edge of the strap teeth is acceptable. If the strap teeth fall, replace a new strap.
2. Discharge the air in the power steering system.
(1)Check the liquid level.
(2)Lift the front part of the vehicle with a jack in a safety manner.
(3)Rotate the steering wheel.
After the motor is shut down, rotate the steering wheel to the left/right limit position lightly. Repeat such
operation several times.
(4)Loosen the jack, and put down the vehicle.
(5)Start the motor, and make it run idly for several minutes.
(6)Rotate the steering wheel to one side limit position for 2-3 seconds, and then rotate it to the other side limit
position for 2-3 seconds. Repeat such operations several times.Section 3 Steering Pipeline ComponentComponent ViewPower steering high pressure

ball stud pin and the steering knuckle is clean, tighten the slot nut, torque: 27~39N.m. Install the cotter pin,
make sure of the correct installation
(7) Add appropriate amount of specified power steering fluid, bleed the power steering system
(8) Check the power steering pipeline system for leakage
(9) Check the front wheel alignment and front wheel left and right limit turn angle, adjust the toe in if
necessary and tighten the tie rod lock nut
(10) Check the position of the steering wheel. It is required that the steering wheel spokes are basically
symmetrical when the vehicle is driven straight ahead, reassemble the steering wheel if necessary

5-62 (22) There are problems in the configuration of the airbag ECU (DTC 93D6)
When using the scan tool to test the airbag ECU, the DTC is 93D6, indicating that there are problems in the
configuration of the airbag ECU.
Step Operation Yes No
1 When using the scan tool to test the airbag ECU, is the DTC 93D6? Go to step 2 other
2Go to step 3
3 Go to step 4 Go to step 1
4 The fault has been removed, use the scan tool to eliminate the DTC.Check whether the configuration of the airbag ECU is consistent with the
actual on-board configuration?
After the troubleshooting, switch on the power supply, observe the status
of the warning light. The warning light shall goes off after lighting up for
4 seconds (self-check). (23) The impact signal output interface of the airbag ECU is short to ground or the impact output circuit is
disconnected. (DTC 93D7)
When using the scan tool to test the airbag ECU, the DTC is 93D7, indicating that the impact signal output
interface of the airbag ECU is short to ground or the impact output circuit is disconnected.IV. Diagnosis of collided vehicle No matter airbag is unfolded or folded, inspection and maintenance of collided vehicle should be performed
according to the following sequence.
1. Check ECU diagnosis signal.
(1) Connect scanner diagnosis joint
(2) Use scanner to read out diagnosis result.
2. Repair sequence
(1) when airbag is unfolded.
The following components should be replaced with new parts
a. Airbag assembly on passenger side
b. ECU
c. Airbag assembly on driver side
d. Seat belt with pretensionerNote:
due to impact, when battery power is insufficient, scanner can not communicate with ECU, now check and
service instrument board wire harness or use external power supply.SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)-SRS-General Information (2 ) Check the following components, if there is any abnormity, replace with new parts
a. Clock spring.
b. Steering wheel, steering column, lower steering shaft assembly
(3 ) The installation status of driver airbag assembly in relation to steering wheel
a. Check and see if there is abnormal noise in the steering wheel, the action of the same is good, or the
clearance is normal.
b. Check the connecter of the wire harness for damage and the terminal for distortion.
