Note:

The measurement value displayed on TECH 1 has only a relative significance, i.e. it serves only to recognize changes in resistance in the ignition circuit, e.g. due to a loose contact.

 

Usually a value greater than 0 % but less than 100 % is displayed. A value greater than 200 % indicates an open electrical circuit.

less than 100 %

Value should be approx. constant; there should be no larger fluctuations

(If nominal value is not attained)

 

For checking operations, observe the safety regulations detailed in section 1.1 of these Checking Procedures.

The vehicle battery must always be disconnected except when the checking operations include voltage measurement.

·   Ignition OFF

·   Disconnect battery

·   Disconnect contact unit/

     wiring harness plug X 91

    (observe safety measures)

·   Disconnect co-driver airbag unit

     wiring harness plug X 93

·   Disconnect airbag control unit 

     wiring harness plug X 90

    (observe safety measures)

 

Important:

If trouble code 21 or trouble code 22 is stored, the driver's airbag unit circuit must also be measured according to test step 02.

The control unit determines which ignition circuit contains a short circuit to ground or voltage.

 

·   Inspect co-driver airbag unit U 22

    (do not measure at airbag unit terminals / observe safety measures)

 

 

No damage to wiring harness plug and short circuit bridge

·   Lead interruption

     from:      co-driver airbag unit wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 2

     to:          airbag control unit wiring harness plug X 90 Ter. 6

·   Short circuit bridge in airbag control unit wiring harness plug X 90 defective (short circuit bridge between Ter. 5 and Ter. 6)

 

·   Insert Adapter KM-609-9 from Electronic Kit I in airbag control unit wiring harness plug X 90, in slot under Ter. 5 and Ter. 6 (short circuit bridge opened)

 

 

 

·   Using multimeter, measure resistance:

     from:      co-driver airbag unit wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 1(cable colour GERT: yellow/red)

     to:          co-driver airbag unit wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 2 (cable colour GEBL: yellow/blue)

 

Note:

Use Adapter KM-609-20

100 kW (¥)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·   Short circuit in wiring harness

     from:      airbag control unit wiring harness plug X 90 Ter. 5

     to:          airbag control unit wiring harness plug X 90 Ter. 6

 

·   Using multimeter, measure resistance:

     from:      co-driver airbag unit

                   wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 1 (cable colour GERT: yellow/red)

     to:          ground

     and

     from:      co-driver airbag unit

                   wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 2 (cable colour GEBL: yellow/blue)

     to:          ground

 

Note:

Use Adapter KM-609-20

 

 

 

 

 

greater than

100 kW (¥)

 

 

 

 

greater than

100 kW (¥))

 

 

 

 

 

·   Short circuit to ground

     from:      co-driver airbag unit wiring harness plug X 93 Ter. 1
