Description

Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in steering wheel and electrically connected to SRSCM via clock spring. 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 for at least three minutes before beginning work.
  2. Remove the steering wheel low cover cap.
  3. Remove the driver airbag module mounting bolts(2EA).
  4. Remove the wiring fixing clip(A) and disconnect airbag module connector (B).
  5. Disconnect the horn connector.
  6. Separate the airbag module from the steering wheel. CAUTION: The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
  7. Remove the steering wheel and steering wheel column cover. (Refer to «REMOVAL»(ref-504558-S19989692842012092600000) .
  8. Disconnect the clock spring and horn connector, then remove the clock spring.

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 and glove box housing. (Refer to «GLOVE BOX REPLACEMENT»(ref-504547-S05235137252012092600000) .
  3. Disconnect the passenger airbag connector and remove the passenger airbag mounting bolt.
  4. Remove the crash pad. (Refer to the «CRASH PAD»(ref-537227-S36224571332013032200000) . 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 screws (10 EA) from the Crash pad. Then remove the passenger airbag. CAUTION: The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean, dry place with the airbag cushion up.

The Side Airbags (SAB) are installed inside the front seat and protect 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.

  1. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait for at least 3 minutes before beginning work.
  2. Remove the front seat assembly. (Refer to the «FRONT SEAT»(/kia/soul/i-2011-2014/remont/seats/#seat-power-seat) )
  3. Remove the seat back cover. (Refer to the «FRONT SEAT»(/kia/soul/i-2011-2014/remont/seats/#seat-power-seat) ) NOTE: When the front side airbag deployed after a collision, replace the seat back as an assembly.
  4. Loosen the SAB mounting nuts and remove the SAB module. WARNING: The removed airbag module should be stored in a clean and dry place with the cushion side up.

Curtain airbags 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.
