Restraints and Safety Systems: Testing and Inspection

DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

The control module performs a self test of the restraint system every time the ignition is switched on. Any faults with the system's inputs/outputs or processing capabilities will cause the fault lamp in the cluster to illuminate. The troubleshooting of the MRS system is fault driven and can be accessed using the DIS tester or MoDiC.

Installation of a replacement control module requires ZCS coding also using the MoDiC or DIS.

When servicing or replacing any MRS components, always follow the precautionary measures outlined in the repair manual of TIS. This includes disconnecting the battery prior to any repair of maintenance work being performed.

All airbag units, including the ITS assemblies are part number specific by model. Always use the EPC to verify the correct part number for any component being replaced.

A replacement splice kit is available for the BST following an impact that causes BST activation. The splice kit comes complete with instructions for cutting and stripping the B+ cable for replacement. Follow the instruction completely to prevent future voltage drop problems in the B+ cable circuit.
