Modular Wire Routing with Corrugated Tube on Front Seat

Modular Wire Routing with Corrugated Tube on Front Seat

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Trim removal wedge (3409)





General Information

With the introduction of modular wire routing, the complete sheathing of the entire wiring harness with a fabric strap between the seat pan and the connectors to the connector station has been eliminated. A two-shell corrugated pipe in which the individual wires are routed separately has been implemented for this purpose.

Opening corrugated pipe and removing individual wire

CAUTION!
Observe safety precautions for work on airbags.

- Move front seat as far back and up as possible.

- Unclip connector station cover - 1 - under front seat.





- Use (3409) to do this.

- Disengage cover - 1 - on corrugated pipe side.

- Release cable bracket - 2 - on connector station by pressing retaining tabs on both sides - arrows -.

CAUTION!
Before handling any airbag units (for example, when disconnecting the connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

- Remove front seat:

• Front seat (standard seat), removing and installing, refer to => [ Standard Front Seat ] Standard Front Seats

• Front seat (memory seat, electric seat), removing and installing, refer to => [ Power Front Memory Seat ] Power Front Memory Seats

• S6 front seat (memory seat, electric seat), removing and installing, refer to => [ Front Seat ] Power Front Memory Seats.

- Attach front seat to (VAS 6136). Refer to => [ Front Seat, Installing on Seat Repair Tool ] .

- Using (3409), open cable bracket - 1 -.





- Remove cable bracket - 1 - from corrugated tube - 2 -.

- Remove the bolt - 1 -.





- Remove cable clip - 2 - from corrugated tube - 3 -.

- Open fabric band - 2 - in area of - arrow -.





- Open corrugated pipe - 1 -.

Install individual wires and close corrugated pipe

Installation is in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

CAUTION!
• Observe safety precautions for work on airbags.

• Before handling any airbag units (for example, when disconnecting the connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

- When bundling and placing individual wires in corrugated pipe, ensure wires are not twisted.

• Note installation position of two-part corrugated pipe to wiring harness and position of cable bracket to corrugated pipe.

- The beginning of the corrugated pipe - 4 - should be placed immediately after the clip - 2 - or cable tie.





3 Wiring harness to connector station

- Ensure two-part corrugated pipe - 4 - locks cleanly over entire length.

- Make sure the side - arrow A - of cable bracket - 1 - connects to the last rib - arrow B - on the corrugated pipe - 4 -.

- Bind transition of seat side of corrugated pipe - 1 - and wiring harness - 2 - with self-adhesive fabric tape - arrow -.





- First make sure the pins - A arrows - on cover - 1 - engage correctly in mounts - B arrows - on connector station - 2 -.





- They can only lock in the connector station when the cover is engaged correctly.
