1 - Checking the component
2 - Checking the wiring and terminals
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the component
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected, non-deployed, pyrotechnical airbag. This could deploy the airbag!
- Ignition off, wait for 15 seconds.
- Disconnect the connector from the front left-hand side airbag.
- Attach a special tool to the connector (to the ignition cable). To carry out this procedure, use: 951 3029 SRS resistance 951 3029 SRS resistance
Note! The special tool must be checked and fault-free. If the special tool is faulty, the diagnostic readings will be incorrect. This will make fault-tracing harder.
- Switch on the ignition. Wait 10 seconds.
Read off the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol.
- If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is permanent: Select alternative 1.
- If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is intermittent: Select alternative 2.

Checking the wiring and terminals
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected, non-deployed, pyrotechnical airbag. This could deploy the airbag!
- Ignition off, wait for 15 seconds.
- Disconnect the connector for Supplemental restraint system module (SRS).
- Disconnect the connector from the front left-hand side airbag.
Check connectors for damage to pins and connections.
Also check other connectors and connections that connect cables between Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) and the airbag.
Check the cable for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #C1:24(#B24) and the connector for the front left-hand side impact protection (SIPS) bag terminal #1.
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #C1:23(#B23) and the connector for the left-hand front side impact protection (SIPS) bag terminal #2.
Remedy as necessary.

Powering the SRS system
Warning! Nobody should be in the passenger compartment when the SRS (supplemental restraint system) is first powered after fault-tracing/repair.
Caution! Ignition off during the entire procedure.
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- If the battery negative lead has been removed: Connect the battery negative lead.
When powering up the SRS-system, other systems and components in the vehicle will also be activated.
Power the SRS (supplemental restraint system) by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
Performing the service may take up to 15 seconds.

Hint: After carrying out the repair check that the fault has been remedied.
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Switch on the ignition. Wait 10 seconds.
Read diagnostic trouble codes by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
If the fault is intermittent, the fault has been remedied.
Is the fault intermittent?
