Repair of airbag and belt tensioner cables
  Note
t  Observe the general instructions for the repair on the vehicle electrics → Chapter.
t  Observe the general instructions for the wiring loom and plug repair → Chapter.
  WARNING
Faulty repairs to the airbag and belt tensioner wiring loom can lead to the malfunction of the occupant protection.
t  Only use cables of the airbag and belt tensioner wiring loom from the car tool kit for wiring loom repairs, see → Chapter using original parts (contact housings, plugs and cables see → Spare part catalogue).
t  Do not carry out any repairs to the cables of the individual airbag units.
t  In case of damage to the cables or plugs at the airbag units, the related airbag units must be replaced for reasons of safety.
  Note
   
t  A maximum of two points can be repaired when repairing the cables of the airbag and belt tensioner system. Repair points increase the electrical resistance in the cable and can trigger faults in the self-diagnosis of the system.
t  Do not wrap the repair point again in the vehicle's own wiring loom and visibly mark the repair point with yellow insulating tape.
  N97-10489
t  Repairs in the area of the airbag or belt tensioner should only be carried out maximum 30 cm from the next contact housing. Altogether this procedure of marking with yellow insulating tape allows a quick overview of previous repairs.
t  Both cables to the trigger units (airbags) have a stroke length of 20±5 mm when twisting. It is mandatory to comply with these stroke lengths for the lengths of the twisted cables to be repaired.
  N97-0231
t  Both cables to the trigger units (airbags) must have the same length when undertaking repair work. The stroke length of -A- = 20 mm must be respected when the cables -1- and -2- are twisted.
t  Thus, there must be no cable piece (in the area of the welding connectors -arrow-) longer than -B- = 100 mm without twisting the cables.
