Air Bag Deactivation Procedures Land Rover Range Rover L322

SPECIAL CARE DURING MECHANICAL REPAIRS

Note. This article applies to 2003 vehicles, except where noted.

Note. When the battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory system may lose data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.

In some instances, it may be necessary to remove steering column or instrument panel to gain access to blower motor housing, heater assembly, evaporator assembly, or other A/C-heater system related components. Observe manufacturer service precautions when working on a vehicle equipped with an air bag system. See appropriate manufacturer's SERVICE PRECAUTIONS.

Electrical sources should never be allowed near inflator on back of air bag module. Never probe air bag system electrical wires with analog volt-ohmmeter or test light. Always disable air bag system before servicing vehicle. See appropriate DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM procedure. Failure to do so could result in accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.

If air bag system is not fully functional for any reason, DO NOT drive vehicle until system is repaired and is again operational. DO NOT remove bulbs, modules, sensors or other components, or in any way disable system from operating normally. If air bag system is not functional, park vehicle until system is repaired and functions properly.

SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

When ignition is turned on, SRS indicator light should come on for about 6 seconds and then go off. If indicator does not come on, or does not go off after about 6 seconds or comes on while driving, air bag system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

Observe these precautions when working with air bag systems and seat belt pretensioners, if equipped

1. Disable SRS before servicing any SRS, instrument panel or steering column component. Failure to do this could result in accidental air bag deployment, causing personal injury and/or vehicle damage. See «DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM»(/land-rover/range-rover/l322-2002-2005/remont/restraints/#air-bag-deactivation-procedures__disabling-activating-air-bag-system) .
2. WAIT at least 3 minutes after disabling air bag system. A back-up power circuit capacitor (in SRS control unit) maintains system voltage for about 3 minutes after battery is disconnected. Servicing air bag system or seat belt pretensioners before 3 minutes may cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.
3. Radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Before disconnecting battery cables get radio activation code from vehicle owner.
4. Avoid direct exposure of SRS unit or wiring harnesses to heat guns, welding or spraying equipment when painting or doing body work.
5. DO NOT attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring harnesses. Ensure SRS wiring harnesses are installed so that they are not pinched or interfering with other components.
6. After an accident, all SRS components, including wiring harnesses and brackets, must be inspected. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced, even if air bag did not deploy. Check steering column, knee bolster, instrument panel steering column reinforcement plate and lower brace for damage. DO NOT repair any component or wiring. If components or wiring are damaged or defective, replacement is required.
7. Whenever air bags have been activated, replace seat belt pretensioners (if equipped) and SRS unit.
8. Carefully inspect all SRS components before installation. DO NOT install any component that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or other deformities.
9. DO NOT install SRS components previously installed on another vehicle. When replacing SRS components, use only NEW, manufacturer supplied components.
10. DO NOT expose air bags or seat belt pretensioner assemblies to temperatures exceeding 212°F (100°C).
11. DO NOT spill water or oil on air bags or side impact sensors.
12. Always wear safety glasses when servicing SRS or handling an air bag or seat belt pretensioner, if equipped.
13. DO NOT position yourself in front of air bag during removal, inspection or replacement.
14. DO NOT attempt to disassemble air bag assembly, cable reel, or seat belt pretensioner, if equipped. Neither component has any serviceable or reusable parts.
15. A replacement air bag assembly must be stored in its original special container until used for service. Special container must be stored in a clean, dry place, away from sources of extreme heat, sparks and high electrical energy.
16. When placing a live air bag assembly on a bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover up, away from surface. This will reduce motion of air bag assembly if accidentally deployed.
17. During installation or replacement of SRS control unit, DO NOT bump, drop or strike unit or immediate area. SRS unit could be damaged and/or air bag deployment could occur.
18. After deployment, air bag assembly is very hot. WAIT 30 minutes before handling. After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium azide and potassium nitrate, which can irritate skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up, and wash hands using mild soap and water. Follow correct disposal procedures.
19. After air bag deployment, inspect all SRS wiring harnesses for heat or other damage. Replace, DO NOT repair, any damaged harnesses. Ensure all SRS ground connections are clean and tight. Ensure SRS wiring harnesses are installed so that they are not pinched or interfere with other components.
20. DO NOT allow any electrical source near inflator on back of air bag assembly or near 3-pin connector of seat belt pretensioner.
21. During SRS component installation or replacement, be careful to not bump area around SRS unit, front impact sensors or side impact sensor using an impact wrench, hammer, etc. Air bags could accidentally deploy causing damage or injury.
22. When carrying a live air bag assembly, trim cover pad should be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of accidental air bag deployment.
23. If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired. DO NOT remove any component or in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is not functional, park vehicle until repairs can be made.

25. Air bag system component repair is made by replacement only. If a component is replaced and does not correct condition, install original component and repeat diagnostic procedure.
26. The gas generant used in air bags is Sodium Azide. This material is hermetically sealed in the module and is completely consumed during deployment. No attempt should be made to open an air bag inflator as this will lead to the risk of exposure to Sodium Azide. If a gas generator is ruptured, full protective clothing should be worn when dealing with the spillage.
27. When placing a live air bag on a bench or other flat surface, always face air bag trim cover up, away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if it is accidentally deployed.
28. When carrying a live air bag module, trim cover must be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of accidental air bag deployment.
29. After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which irritates skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up. After clean-up, wash hands using mild soap and water.
30. In the event of a fault that causes F4 10-amp battery supply fuse (located in the fuse-box at the driver's end of the fascia), the fuse must not be renewed until the Air Bag/SRS system has been deactivated. Fuses of any other value must never be used, as this can cause disarm failure.
31. Radio code saving devices MUST NOT be used when conducting work on air bag system. It must be noted that, when using these devices, the vehicle electrical system is still live and capable of activating air bag system.

Note. It is necessary to record any settings or fault codes before battery is disconnected. Obtain and record the radio anti-theft keycode and preset radio frequencies, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) fault codes, and climate control assembly settings and fault codes.

14. DO NOT leave any undeployed air bag component unattended if work is interrupted.
15. NEVER use test lamp, voltmeter or ohmmeter for testing.
16. Air bag components which have dropped onto a hard surface from a height of 19.7" (50 cm) or more, or show signs of damage MUST NOT be installed in the vehicle. Always replace any air bag system component that has been mechanically damaged (example: dented or cracked).
17. Air bag components which have not been activated should be marked and returned to the manufacturer for disposal (use air bag unit transport container). The storage and transportation of air bag units must comply with the regulations for explosive substances.
18. Only install original seat covers that have been authorized for use with side air bags (recognizable by AIRBAG label). DO NOT install commercially available loose fitting seat covers. When installing a backrest cover ensure that the cover seam is straight in the area of the side air bag. Replace all seat cover clips. Only use original seat cover clips. For safety reasons always replace the seat cover if it is damaged in area of the side air bag, e.g. torn, burn holes, etc.
19. When carrying a live air bag assembly, trim cover pad should be pointed away from body to minimize injury in case of accidental air bag deployment.
20. If SRS is not fully functional for any reason, vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired. DO NOT remove any component or in any way disable system from operating normally. If SRS is not functional, park vehicle until repairs can be made.

1. Obtain radio anti-theft code (if equipped) from vehicle owner and write down preset radio frequencies. To disable air bag system, ensure ignition is off and key is removed. Disconnect and shield negative battery cable.
2. To activate system, turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure no one is inside vehicle and connect negative battery cable. Perform system operation check to ensure proper system operation. See «SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK»(/land-rover/range-rover/l322-2002-2005/remont/restraints/#air-bag-deactivation-procedures) .

1. Check that the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) indicator light is not defective by turning ignition key to ON position. SRS indicator light will illuminate and go out after approximately 7 seconds for all models except the C70 Convertible, which is 3 seconds or the S40 and V40 models, which is 10 seconds. Ensure SRS indicator light in combined instrument panel is not constantly illuminated. Repair SRS fault if SRS light is constantly illuminated.
2. If vehicle is equipped with Roll Over Protection (ROP) system, when the ignition is turned to ON position the ROP light should illuminate for approximately 5 seconds and then go out.

1. On XC90 equipped with Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Module include Roll Over Protection (ROP). The SRS control module must not be removed, moved to another position or worked on unless power supply is disconnected. If power supply is disconnected, air bags and seat belt tensioners may deploy. SRS module is located between the parking brake and gear selector lever in center console. NEVER install car accessories on or near SRS Module.
2. C70 Convertible is equipped with a Roll Over Protection (ROP) system. The ROP roll-over bar is raised by a spring with a force sufficient to cause injury. It is important that no one is standing above the roll-over bar when it is deployed. The roll-over bar operating range is approximately 20" (50 cm), which is also the safety distance from the bar. No repairs are permitted on the roll-over bar cassette. If there is a fault in the roll-over bar, the whole cassette should be replaced.
3. Air bag modules/pyrotechnical seat belt tensioners must never be taken apart, repaired or transferred to another vehicle.
4. Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non deployed air bag or pyrotechnical seat belt tensioner. This could deploy the air bag or pyrotechnical seat belt tensioner.
5. Never take a resistance reading across air bags or seat belt tensioners if a DTC is stored for too high or low igniter resistance. Special tools with the same resistance as the air bag or seat belt tensioner must be used for fault-tracing.
6. When storing or transporting air bag modules/pyrotechnical seat belt tensioners, they should be handled in accordance with national statutory regulations.
7. Battery must not be connected when the steering wheel air bag module connector is disconnected. If battery must be connected, install special tool (998-8695) to SRS steering wheel air bag module connector. This is to prevent vehicle SRS On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system setting a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If ignition switch is turned to ON position with air bag module connector disconnected, an open circuit DTC will be set. DTCs must be cleared.
8. DO NOT turn steering wheel when contact reel is locked. The contact reel locking pin will break off.
9. DO NOT open any SRS component.
10. The inflatable curtain must never be unscrewed, repaired or moved to another vehicle. DO NOT remove, loosen or tighten any mounting screws.
11. DO NOT fold or twist inflatable curtain during removal or installation. The inflatable curtain module must be handled with both hands, with one hand holding gas generator. The inflatable curtain module must be kept level. Avoid twisting or bending the inflatable curtain module as much as possible.
12. Any SRS component must be returned if there is any visible damage.
13. DO NOT position or install accessories or any other components in the area near SRS components. Failure to observe this instruction may cause SRS component to fail.
14. The SRS system must always be worked on by a qualified technician.
15. When removing a non deployed steering wheel module, module should be placed with metal side (rear) facing downwards somewhere where it will not be handled carelessly (in the luggage compartment for example).
16. When the air bag is deployed powder is spread throughout the car. The chemical reaction that creates the gas can also produce certain by-products such as calcium chloride. When decontaminating a car with a deployed air bag wear gloves, protective goggles, overalls and a face mask. Exposure to the powder can cause the following problems: Eye Contact Symptoms may include burning or grittiness. Flush immediately, using copious amounts of water for AT LEAST 15 minutes. See a doctor if the symptoms persist. Skin Contact Symptoms may include a burning sensation. Wash thoroughly using a mild soap solution and water. Open Wounds Wounds may be aggravated. Avoid exposure and carefully clean thoroughly.
