Airbag Modules & Clock Spring: Overview Kia Carnival III

Airbag 14 illustrations ~558 words

Description

Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in steering wheel and electrically connected to SRSCM via clockspring. It protects the driver from danger by deploying a bag when frontal crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of Driver Airbag (DAB).

CAUTIONNever attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

  1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
  2. Remove the airbag module mounting bolts.
  3. Disconnect the horn connector (A).
  4. Release the connector locking pin (B), then disconnect the driver airbag module connector (C). CAUTION: The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
  5. Remove the steering wheel and steering wheel column cover. Refer to «STEERING COLUMN-SHAFT»(ref-674588-S15172332122014120300000) .
  6. Disconnect the clock spring and horn connector, then remove the clock spring.

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) cable from battery and wait for at least three minutes.
  2. Remove ignition key from the vehicle.
  3. Connect the clock spring harness connector and horn harness connector to the clock spring.
  4. Set the clock spring on neutral position and after turning the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the clock spring.
  5. Install the steering wheel column cover and the steering wheel. Refer to «INSTALLATION»(ref-674588-S42186865262014120300000) .
  6. Connect the Driver Airbag (DAB) module connector and horn connector, then install the Driver Airbag (DAB) module on the steering wheel.
  7. Secure the Driver Airbag (DAB) with the new mounting bolts. Tightening Torque (DAB Mounting Bolt): 0.8 ~ 1.1 kgf.m (7.9 ~ 10.8 Nm, 5.8 ~ 8.0 lb.ft)
  8. Connect the battery negative cable.
  9. After installing the airbag, confirm proper system operation
  1. Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.
  2. Make sure horn button works.

The Passenger Airbag (PAB) is installed inside the crash pad and protects the front passenger in the event of a frontal crash. The SRSCM determines if and when to deploy the PAB.

CAUTIONNever attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

  1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least three minutes before beginning work.
  2. Remove the glove box. Refer to GLOVE BOX REPLACEMENT .
  3. Disconnect the PAB connector and remove the PAB mounting bolts. Refer to CRASH PAD REPLACEMENT .
  4. Remove the crash pad. Refer to CRASH PAD REPLACEMENT . NOTE: Replace the crash pad which is damaged while PAB is deployed.
  5. Remove the heater duct from the crash pad.
  6. Remove the mounting nuts from the crash pad. Then remove the passenger airbag.
CAUTIONThe removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the airbag cushion up.

The two Side Airbags (SAB) are installed inside the driver and passenger seat and protects the driver and front passenger from danger when side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of side airbag by using Side Impact Sensor (SIS) signal.

CAUTIONNever attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

Curtain Airbags (CABs) are installed inside the headliner (LH and RH) and protect the driver and passenger from danger when side crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of curtain airbag by using side impact sensor (SIS) signal.

CAUTIONNever attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.

Scheme 13: Removal
  1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least 3 minutes before beginning work.
  2. Remove the following parts. Interior trim. Refer to INTERIOR TRIM . Headlining. Refer to ROOF TRIM .
  3. Disconnect the Curtain Airbag (CAB) harness connector (front & rear).
  4. After loosening the mounting bolts (13 EA), remove the curtain airbag.
