For this safety element, the usual methods of repairing wires or connectors are not allowed.
Since the airbag and seat belt pretensioner wires are included in the passenger compartment wire harness, the following method of replacing them is recommended to simplify repair work: cut off the damaged wires at both ends and lay new wires along the same route along the passenger compartment wire harness.
Attention! When laying new wires, make sure that there is no damage or contamination.
Attention! When installing additional electrical equipment, take care not to lay electrical wires near the ignition circuits of airbags, seat belt pretensioners and side impact sensors.
Under seat sensor
The driver's seat is equipped with a sensor for longitudinal movement of the seat (sled positions).
Information from the sensor allows you to apply the degree of inflation of the driver's frontal airbag (small or large section) depending on seat position and impact force.
To replace the sensor, remove the seat, connect a new contact sensor with heat shrink sleeves, or completely replace the corresponding wires.
In the event of an impact that triggered the airbag, be sure to check the operation of the sensor.
