General Information on the Fault Memory

General Information On The Fault Memory

NOTE:
- A period of 10 seconds is required to enable the triggering unit to identify all faults in the system. In order to guarantee that every possible fault source is checked during the vehicle test, the ignition must be switched on for at least 10 seconds.
- The fault memory must be cleared following a fault in the airbag system and after it has been remedied.
- The replacement of a component must be noted in the Guarantee and Maintenance booklet. To do this, attach the documentation number in a free panel intended for that purpose. The documentation number is attached to the replacement part as a tear-off sticker.
- If the fault memory is cleared, the ignition must be switched off and then on again in order to check the fault path. Only in this way is another self-test carried out.

The following components must be removed and replaced following an accident in which the airbag system was triggered:
- Contact unit
- Triggered airbag unit(s)
- Triggered belt tensioner unit(s)

The triggering unit must be replaced after the airbag is triggered for the third time.
