Airbag Adapter, Connecting And Disconnecting
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Airbag Lockout Adapter: VAS 6282
Airbag Connector, Disconnecting
-- Move the front seat all the way to the rear in its highest position.
-- Remove the expanding clip -2- and fold up the section of the carpet -1-.
-- Unclip the cable holder -3-.
- Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, disconnecting the connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
-- Disconnect the connector -5- for the thorax airbag from the connector station, to do this release the retaining tabs.
7 - Power Supply
6 - Versions with Heated Seats
4 - Seat Belt Latch
-- Connect the Airbag Lockout Adapter : VAS 6282 to the thorax airbag connector.
The Airbag Lockout Adapter: VAS 6282 must stay connected to seat until the seat is installed again.
Ensure the airbag lockout adapter engages correctly.
Airbag Connector, Connecting
- Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
Connect the airbag connectors in the reverse order and note the following:
Make sure the connectors are installed all the way and engage audibly.
The ignition must be on when connecting the battery. If pyrotechnic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after connecting battery. There must not be anyone in the vehicle interior when connecting the battery.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the ignition is switched on.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - >>indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up<< - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault after assembling, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
