provides the interface connection through which the side impact sensor communicates with the RCM using serial data messages. Acceleration is evaluated by the microchip and transmitted to the restraints control module, which then makes the
decision on whether or not to activate the airbags and pretensioners.
When the ignition is switched on, the RCM supplies power to the impact sensors, which perform a self-test. After satisfactory self tests the impact sensors continually output 'digital acceleration' messages to the restraints control module. If a fault is
detected the relevant impact sensor sends a fault message, instead of the digital acceleration message, to the restraints
control module. The RCM then stores a related fault code and illuminates the airbag warning indicator. Faults can be retrieved by the Jaguar approved diagnostic system from the RCM via the high speed CAN bus connection. www.JagDocs.com
Operation of the airbag warning indicator is controlled by a high speed CAN bus message from the RCM to the instrument cluster. The RCM sends the signal to illuminate the airbag warning indicator if a fault is detected, and for approximately 6 seconds during the bulb check at the beginning of each ignition cycle.
Occupant Monitoring
There are two types of occupant monitoring:
In all markets except NAS & Australia, vehicles have an occupant detection sensor
In NAS markets, vehicles have an occupant classification system
For markets which have an occupant detection sensor, this has no interface with the restraints system and only provides the
belt reminder function.
For markets that have an occupant classification system, this provides the RCM with the occupancy status of the front passenger seat. The restraints control module uses this and the seat buckle status in the evaluation of the firing strategy for
the passenger front airbag, side airbag, and pretensioner.
Safety Belt Sensors
The buckle of each front safety belt incorporates a Hall effect sensor that provides a safety belt status signal to the RCM. The RCM broadcasts the status of the two front safety belts on the high speed CAN bus for use by the instrument cluster. In the event of a front impact the RCM will deploy the pretensioners provided the safety belt buckles are fastened. The safety belt buckle pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than that required by the airbags. Hence it is possible during a minor
collision, which exceeds the deployment threshold and will deploy only the safety belt buckle pretensioners. Airbag Warning Indicator

Inspection and Verification
WARNING: TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY MUST
BE DEPLETED BEFORE REPAIRING OR REPLACING ANY AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) COMPONENTS. TO
DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY ENERGY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not
guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.
NOTE: Given the legal implications of a restraints system failure, harness repairs to Air Bag module circuits are not
acceptable. Where the text refers to "REPAIR the circuit", this will normally mean the replacement of a harness.
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.

supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air
bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal
injury.
Deployed air bag modules are to be disposed of as special waste and
must comply with local environmental requirements, if in doubt, contact
Authority for disposal requirements.
2. NOTE: The storage, transportation, disposal, and/or recycling of air
bag module components must be carried out in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local regulations including, but not limited
to, those governing building and fire codes, environmental protection,
occupational health and safety, and transportation.
Modules removed and deployed by Jaguar service are to be returned to
the importer for disposal.
Undeployed Air Bag — Inoperative
1. WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim
cover or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
NOTE: All inoperative air bag modules have been placed on the
Mandatory Return List. All discolored or damaged air bag modules must
be treated the same as any inoperative live air bag being returned.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental
restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or
deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk
of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
Remote deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel

Supplemental Restraint System - Clockspring
Removal and Installation Published: 11-May-2011
Removal
WARNINGS:
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an
air bag module.
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury
in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant
combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in personal injury.
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so may result in air bag deployment, which may result in
personal injury. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not repainted.
Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag supplemental
restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If
damaged, replace the sensor whether or not the air bag is deployed.
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing
or replacing any air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) components. To deplete the backup power supply energy,
disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the wheels are in the straight-ahead position. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
damage to the component.
NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
1. Make the SRS system safe.
