Project 3   functional working (neither possible explosion failure or historical failure).

Table 4.9 indicator lamp’s activities after ignition

2.Failure indication

The alarm lamp will indicate it in case any failure arises. If the external failure is a historical one, the indication will be called off. If

the number of history-accumulated failures is or more than 5, the alarm lamp will keep illuminating albeit no failure emerges. The

case of low power will be excluded.

 A displayed or historical failure can but only be reconfigured by the service personnel. An internal failure or impact record can not
be reconfigured, in these cases, SRS-ECU must be replaced.

3.Micro controller-independent alarm lamp illumination

The micro-controller in clear failure status can not work therefore can not control the alarm lamp. In this case, the alarm lamp

will be directly lighted via suitable circuit despite of the micro-controller. As following,

The battery for SRS-ECU fails, the alarm lamp will be continuously lighted through the lamp drive function.

b. No internal working voltage, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating

c. Reconfiguration caused by watchdog’s trigging failure, the alarm lamp flashes.

d. No work of micro-controller, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating
e. Incomplete plugging-in of SRS-ECU connector, the alarm lamp keeps illuminating via shoring bar Next explain the diagnostic

    procedure by taking some examples

If the alarm lamp is found keeping illuminating, please test it according to the following procedure even it extinguishes finally.

First test the failure region with the scanner followed by the test in the failure region with the corresponding approaches and

steps.

a If an internal failure or the explosion of safety airbag is scanned, replace the SRS-ECU

Test status 

Safety airbag system warns circuit failure. 

Possible causes 

No voltage (fuse shutoff) 

Combined instrument failure 

Failure of wiring harness between instrument cluster and ECU unit 

 

Diagnostic procedure

When first carry out failure test, joggle the wiring harness and plug to test whether there is periodical bad contact in the circuit, if
it so, please confirm whether the plug, terminal and wiring harness well connected and in good condition. If it is not any of previous

cases, operate according to the following steps.

Warning: 

Incorrect handling with the safety airbag system 

units will cause the safety airbag’s improper 

release and pretension of safety belt, which will 

lead to serene accidents. Please read safety airbag 

service warning before handling the safety airbag 

units. 

·

Place the ignition switch in LOCK position。 

·

shut off accumulator negative line and keep the 

  status for at least 60 seconds.
