General Description
Driver Air bag module (hereinafter referred to DAB) located at center of steering wheel protects driver by reducing impact of collision. DAB is consist of air bag, pat cover and inflator. There are power,circuit for ignition, gas generator and diffuser screen in inflator. Air bag reduces impact of collision by fillied up gas. In collision, pat cover splits and through this crack, air bag emerges and deploys. Inflator generates gas that expands air bag. Clock spring is located between steering wheel and column. It connects SCSRM to DAB.
Never measure resistance of DAB directly, Current of measuring device may cause unexpected air bag deploy.
DTC Description
The SRSCM sets DTC B1349/B1484 if there is a short to power in DAB harness.
*In this case, SRSCM checks if there's any fault in circuit by sending current for a while.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

Monitor Scantool Data
1.
Ignition "OFF", connect scantool.
2.
Ignition "ON"& Engine "OFF", select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTC)" mode.
3.
Monitor diagnostic trouble code and present of trouble code.
4.
Using a scantool, clear the DTC.

5.
Is DTC present problem ?

▶ Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure.

▶ Displaying nothing(no DTC) or DTC with label "H"(historical) shows that Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the part's and/or SRSCM connector or was repaired and SRSCM memory was not cleared.
Thoroughly check shorting bar/shorting bar release pin and connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Terminal and Connector Inspection
1.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2.
Thoroughly check shorting bar/shorting bar release pin and connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3.
Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Squib Circuit Inspection" procedure.
Squib Circuit Inspection
1.
Ignition "OFF".
2.
Disconnect (-) terminal cable from battery and wait for 1 minutes or more.
3.
Remove the DAB module and connect the dummy (0957A-38200) and dummy adapter (0957A-2G000) to DAB connector of the clock spring harness connector.
If dummy and dummy adaptor are not able to be prepared, use a known-good DAB or 2Ω resistor.
Lay Removed DAB facing upward for unexpected air bag deploy .
4.
Connect (-) terminal cable to battery and Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF" and wait for 30 seconds or more.
5.
Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC) and clear DTC with scantool and diagnose again.

6.
Is DTC present problem ?

▶ Go to "Clock Spring Circuit Inspection" procedure.

▶ Substitute a known-good DAB assembly, and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace DAB and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Clock Spring Circuit Inspection
1.
Ignition "OFF".
2.
Disconnect the battery (-) terminal cable from the battery and wait at least one minutes.
3.
Remove DAB module and disconnect SRSCM connector of the clock spring harness.
Lay Removed DAB facing upward for unexpected air bag deploy.
4.
Connect the battery (-) terminial cable to the battery and Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
5.
Measure voltage between terminal "Low" or "High"of the clock spring harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : 0V

6.
Is the measured voltage within specifications?

▶ Go to "Main harness circuit inspection" procedure.

▶ Substitute the Clock spring and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace Clock spring and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Main harness Circuit Inspection
1.
Ignition "OFF" and wait at least one minutes.
2.
Disconnect the battery(-) terminal cable from the battery and wait at least one minutes.
3.
Remove DAB module and disconnect SRSCM connector of the main harness.
Lay Removed DAB facing upward for unexpected air bag deploy.
4.
Connect the battery(-) terminal cable to the battery and Ignition "ON" & Enginge "OFF".
5.
Measure voltage between terminal "Low" or "High" of the DAB harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : approx. 0V

6.
Is the measured voltage within specifications?

▶ Substitute a known-good SRSCM, and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace SRSCM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Substitute the SRS main harness and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace SRS main harness and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
