GENERAL INFORMATION

03-21

It should be noted that these precautions are not 
restricted to operations performed when servicing 
the SRS system, the same care should be exercised  
when working on ancillary systems and components 
located in the vicinity of SRS components; these 
include but are not limited to:

l

Steering system – steering wheel airbag, 
rotary coupler.

l

Front fascia –  passenger front airbag (where 
fitted); SRS DCU behind centre console, on 
transmission tunnel under the HeVAC system.

l

Front seats –  seat belt pre-tensioners, integral 
with seat belt buckle assembly.

l

Electrical system –  SRS harnesses, link leads 
and connectors.

Making the SRS system safe
Before working on or in the vicinity of SRS 
components, ensure the system is rendered safe by 
performing the following procedures:

l

Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.

l

Disconnect both battery leads, earth lead first.

l

Wait 10 minutes for the SRS DCU back-up 
power circuit to discharge.

The SRS system uses energy reserve capacitors 
that keep the system active in  the event of electrical 
supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary 
to allow the capacitor sufficient time to discharge (10 
minutes) in order to  avoid the risk of accidental 
deployment.

WARNING: Always disconnect both battery leads 
before beginning work on the SRS system. 
Disconnect the negative battery lead first. Never 
reverse connect the battery.

Installation
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that 
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained 
so that it is ready for effective operation in the event 
of a collision. Carefully inspect SRS components 
before installation. Do not install a part that shows 
signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such 
as dents, cracks or deformation.

WARNING: The integrity of SRS system 
components is critical for safety reasons. Ensure 
the following precautions are always adhered to:

l

Never install used SRS components from 
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS 
component.

l

When repairing an SRS system only use 
genuine new parts.

l

Never apply electrical power to an SRS 
component unless instructed to do so as 
part of an approved test procedure.

l

Special Torx bolts are necessary for 
installing the airbag module — do not use 
other bolts. Ensure bolts are tightened to the 
correct torque.

l

Always use new fixings when replacing an 
SRS component.

l

Ensure the SRS Diagnostic Control Unit 
(DCU) is always installed correctly. There 
must not be any gap between the DCU and 
the bracket to which it is mounted. An 
incorrectly mounted DCU could cause the 
system to malfunction.

CAUTION: Ensure SRS components are not 
contaminated with oil, grease, detergent or 
water.

Ensure that SRS component fixings are correctly 
positioned and   torqued during service and repair.

CAUTION: Torque wrenches should be regularly 
checked for accuracy to ensure that all fixings 
are tightened to the correct torque.

If you suspect an airbag assembly could be 
defective, install a new   unit and dispose of the old 
unit. Manually deploy the old unit before  disposal.
