Diagnosing Customer Concerns Without Hard DTCs/LFCs

WARNING:
WARNING:The back up power supply must be depleted, before any work is carried out on the supplemental restraint system. Wait at least one minute after disconnecting the battery ground cable. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
NOTE:
NOTE:Following the pinpoint tests when a diagnostic trouble code/lamp fault code (DTC/LFC) is not present, will result in needless replacement of air bag system components and repeat repairs.

Speak with the customer to determine if a particular set of conditions must be met in order for a fault to occur. If a LFC is reported by the customer but is not present when the vehicle comes in for repair, pinpoint test diagnostics cannot be used. Instruct the customer on how to count a LFC.

Diagnosing Customer Concerns with Hard DTCs/LFCs

WARNING:
WARNING:Do not use substitute air bag simulators when working on the supplemental restraint system. Use only the appropriate tool. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

Most air bag system diagnostic procedures require the use of system deactivation and system reactivation procedures. These procedures require the air bag module(s) and safety belt buckle pretensioners to be disconnected from the SRS, thereby removing the risk of air bag deployment while diagnostics are carried out.

Air bag simulators are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the air bag system. The simulator contains a resistor, used to simulate an air bag module connection to the system. It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a 0 ohm jumper wire. If a 0 ohm jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module connections, a LFC will be displayed and a DTC logged by the air bag control module.

Deactivation

WARNING:
WARNING:The back up power supply must be depleted, before any work is carried out on the supplemental restraint system. Wait at least one minute after disconnecting the battery ground cable. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
NOTE:
NOTE:When the passenger underseat simulator is installed on vehicles equipped with the occupant classification system, the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator will illuminate continuously when the ignition is turned to the RUN position, provided the seat is empty. The simulator is designed to simulate an empty seat and a fastened passenger safety belt buckle.
  1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
    REFER to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
  1. Wait at least one minute for the backup power supply in the air bag control module to deplete its stored energy.
WARNING:
WARNING:Place the air bag module on a ground wired bench, with the trim cover facing up to avoid accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
  1. Remove the driver air bag module from the vehicle.
    REFER to: Driver Air Bag Module (501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and Installation).

  1. Connect the air bag simulators to the sub-harnesses in place of the driver air bag module at the top of the steering column.

    REFER to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).

Reactivation

WARNING:
WARNING:The air bag simulators must be removed and the air bag modules reconnected when reactivated to avoid non-deployment in a collision. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
  1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
    REFER to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).

Glossary

Air Bag Simulator

Air bag simulators are used to simulate air bag module connections to the system.

Deactivate the System

Deactivate the system means to carry out the deactivation procedure.

Prove Out the System

The air bag warning indicator will illuminate for six seconds. If a fault is detected the indicator flashes a corresponding fault code five times and then remains illuminated continuously.

Reactivate the System

Reactivate the system means to carry out the reactivation procedure.

Principles of Operation

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Operation

The vehicle is equipped with a DC fired sensing system.

Air bag deployment will only occur, in the event of a severe collision when the ignition key is in the RUN position.

Air Bag Control Module

The air bag control module retains full control of the whole system, providing continual system checks and full diagnostic capabilities. The non-volatile memory stores the fault codes, which are down loaded through the diagnostic link connector to WDS.

In the event of a failure in the vehicle power supply during an accident, the air bag control module provides an auxiliary power supply, sufficient to deploy the front air bag(s) for a minimum of 150mS. The auxiliary power supply is discharged by the air bag control within 60 seconds of the battery ground cable being disconnected. Thus making sure the supplemental restraint system remains operational.

The air bag control module contains a microcontroller to evaluate and process impact data. The front crash sensor discriminates frontal impacts and provides information on the severity of the impact to the air bag control module. The side impact sensors discriminates lateral impacts and provides information on the severity of the impact to the air bag control module.

The air bag control module will initiate the deployment of the appropriate air bags as soon as an impact of sufficient severity is detected.

Air Bag Control Module Wiring Harness Connectors

 
Item

Description

-
Connector shorting bar positions

Both air bag control module connectors have shorting bars on the harness side for air bag circuits. Pin numbers remain constant where pin positions have been removed due to the shorting bars.

Crash Sensor and Side Impact Sensors

Both the crash sensor and the side impact sensors contain an acceleration sensor, filter, amplifier and an application specific integrated circuit for signal transmitting. In the event of a collision, in excess of a predetermined limit, the crash sensor or a side impact sensor will initiate a deployment request to the air bag control module. The signal received by the air bag control module is evaluated and processed against stored data. The crash sensor and the side impact sensors do not process the impact data.

Air Bag Warning Indicator

The air bag warning indicator is incorporated into the instrument cluster, together with the automatic detach detect (ADD) circuit. The air bag warning indicator illuminates for six seconds at key ON. If the system self-tests OK the indicator extinguishes, if a fault is detected the indicator flashes a corresponding fault code five times and then remains illuminate continuously.

The ADD circuit is designed to illuminate the air bag warning indicator continuously, if the air bag control module circuit is broken, either by loss of power or ground supply or electrical connector disconnection.

Diagnostic evaluation of the supplemental restraints system can be made through the data link connector (DLC) and WDS to establish the nature of the concern. Once the DTC is known the appropriate course of action can be selected from the Symptom Chart.

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
