Battery Interrupt Igniter, Removing And Installing: Removing
Observe the general safety precautions for pyrotechnical components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
Observe the disposal regulations for pyrotechnical components. Refer to AIRBAG, BELT TENSIONER AND BATTERY CUT-OUT UNITS, STORING, TRANSPORTING AND DISPOSING (PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS) .
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- turns on after a collision, check whether crash data is stored using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. If this is the case, check if the fault >>Resistance too high<< is stored in the DTC memory for the Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253-. If this is the case, the Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253- must be replaced.
The Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253- interrupts the electrical circuit each time an airbag is deployed. The Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253- must be replaced after a deployment.
The Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253- is only available as a replacement part with the Fuse Panel A -SA-.
When just replacing the Battery Interrupt Igniter -N253-, remove it from the replacement part and install it in Fuse Panel A -SA- as follows.
-- Disconnect the battery ground cable when the ignition is turned on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
-- Loosen the nut -1- several turns and remove the battery positive cable terminal clamp with the Fuse Panel A -SA- from the battery terminal.
-- Remove the Fuse Panel A -SA- upward.
-- Release the spring -3- and open the flap -2- over Fuse Panel A -SA- upward in direction of -arrow-.
Pyrotechnical components can deploy unintentionally.
Risk of injury.
- Discharge static electricity: briefly touch the door striker.
-- Remove the nuts -2 and 3-.
-- Remove the battery interrupt igniter -4-.
-- To do this, open the connector lock -5- using a small screwdriver and disconnect the connector -1-.
