3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All operations on airbag systems must be carried out by qualified trained personnel.
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any material damage or personal injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
– use the appropriate tools,
– during work on the airbag system, it is essential to use the "Lock computer" command to avoid any risk of accidental
triggering (all trigger lines are disabled).
WARNING:
During work on the airbag systems, it is essential to use the "Lock computer" command to avoid any risk of
accidental triggering (all trigger lines are disabled).
The locked mode is indicated when the instrument panel warning light comes on.
Note:
If the operation is being performed following an impact during which the airbags were triggered, the computer
may only be locked after running an unlocking command.
After an impact during which the airbags were triggered, stored faults may only be cleared after running a
"Read impact contexts" command, followed by an "unlocking" command.
Never measure the airbag trigger lines with any tool other than the XRBAG tool or with the "Airbag wiring harness
check" function on the CLIP and NXR tools.
Before using a dummy ignition module, check that its resistance is between 1.8 Ω and 2.5 Ω.
During the operation, check that the computer voltage does not drop below 10 V .

TEMIC AIRBAG

Vdiag No.: 04, 10
Computer type
no.: 01, 02 Fault finding – Function
The airbag computer controls all of the vehicle's restraint devices intended to ensure the protection of the occupants
(driver and front passenger).
The airbag computer is designed to perform the following functions:

– detection and confirmation of front longitudinal impacts,
– corresponding activation of the pyrotechnic restraint devices (e.g.: pretensioner, airbag),
– management and monitoring of the Airbag fault and Airbag Off warning lights on the instrument panel
(wire connections),
– management of warning lights relating to the SBR*,
– activation of the crash output signal in the event of a crash (wire connection),
– management of the fault finding signals (signals provided by the fault manager in response to fault finding requests,
whether this consists of internal faults or input/output fault finding).
Special notes:
1- Front impacts:
The detection of front impacts takes into account the signals from the computer's internal accelerometers.
A front algorithm calculates an impact specification using sensor signals to trigger an appropriate protection. It
generates a crash output signal according to the type of impact in order to inform the other computers that a crash
has been detected. The programming applied by the various computers likely to use this information is not described
in this functional description.
2- Seat belt locking monitoring:

This function is managed by the computer (warning light and audible signal):
– driver's seat belt fastened (open contact),
– driver's seat belt not fastened (closed contact).
SBR*: Seat Belt Reminder

3- Management and Monitoring of the airbag warning lights:

The airbag computer controls and checks the status of the Airbag fault and Airbag Off warning lights on the
instrument panel. These signals are transmitted by wire connections.
The Airbag fault warning light is lit for 4 seconds when the ignition is switched on (+ after ignition). This is the
amount of time required by the system to become operational after the vehicle is started. After this period, it remains
off except under the following conditions:
– detection and registering of an airbag system fault (input/output fault, configuration fault),
– a crash has been detected and registered,
– if the computer is crash locked by a diagnostic tool,
– if the computer must be programmed or reprogrammed.
The Airbag Off warning light represents the actual status of passenger airbag inhibition:
– off = active,
– on = passenger airbag inactive.
The 2 warning lights may be lit simultaneously.
4- "Crash output" signal activation.

A "crash output" signal is transmitted by a wire, according to the type of impact, in order to inform the other
computers that a crash has been detected.
The function described below is provided for information only and should under no circumstances be considered
contractual.
Impact type Customer complaints
RAID deactivation (Renault Anti-Intruder Device), hazard warning light activation and
Front
steering column unlocking.
5- Management of fault finding information.

– fault finding for internal functions (auto-test when the ignition is switched on, configuration verification),
– fault finding for external functions (pyrotechnic ignition modules),
– fault finding for supply,
– storage of the faults identified when the vehicle ignition is switched on, during operation, or when the ignition is
switched off,
– permanent storage of the parameters relating to the crash algorithm and signals recorded during the crash,
– permanent storage of system faults present before the crash,
– control of warning lights and the crash output signal.

CONFIGURATION/CONFIGURATION READING
– To make it easier to configure the TEMIC AIRBAG computer, the diagnostic tool has automatic configuration
commands for the trigger lines and sensors according to the equipment installed in the various models.
The commands in the following table, however, are used to configure each system component individually
to adapt the computer configuration to the actual equipment in the vehicle.
– Configuration reading commands (LCxxx) are used to display the status of the computer configuration in relation
to the trigger lines and sensors installed in the vehicle.
– The configuration commands (CFxxx) are used to adapt the computer configuration to the equipment actually
installed in the vehicle.
– CONFIGURABLE FEATURES:
– Trigger lines "WITH" or "WITHOUT"

REPLACING A SYSTEM COMPONENT:
Disconnect the battery before removing and refitting operations for pyrotechnic components (airbag module,
pretensioner).
The computer must always be locked before any operation is performed on a system component.
REPLACING THE AIRBAG COMPUTER:
Before replacing the computer, it is essential to contact the techline.
It is prohibited to use command RZ001 Clear fault memory when DF001 Computer is present or stored, in order
to allow the failure of the returned computer to be analysed.
The airbag computers are sold in locked mode to avoid all risk of accidental triggering (all ignition lines are inhibited).
The "locked" mode is indicated when the instrument panel warning light comes on.
Apply the following procedure when replacing the airbag computer:

– check that the ignition is switched off,
– replace the computer,
– modify the computer configuration if necessary,
– write the VIN in the computer using the diagnostic tool command VP010 Write VIN,
– switch off the ignition,
– carry out a check using the diagnostic tool,
– only unlock the computer if no fault is reported by the diagnostic tool and confirm that the warning light is out.

Try to establish dialogue with a computer on another vehicle to check that the diagnostic tool is not faulty. If the
diagnostic tool is not causing the fault and dialogue cannot be established with any other computer on the same
vehicle, it may be that a faulty computer is disrupting fault finding line K.
Use a process of successive disconnections to locate this computer.
Check the battery voltage, component code 107 and perform the operations required to obtain the correct voltage
(10.5 V < battery voltage < 16 V).
Check the presence and condition of the airbag computer supply fuse. Check that the computer connector is
properly connected and check the condition of its connections.
If the connectors are faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical
wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Check that the supply to the computer is correct:
– disconnect the airbag computer and use the adapter Elé. 1484-10 when working on the computer connector,
– check and ensure the presence of + after ignition between connections AP25 and NAP of component 756.
If the connection(s) is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
Check that the diagnostic socket, component code 225, is correctly supplied on the following connections:
• BP56 between components 225 and 1016 (+ before ignition),
• MAM and NC of component 225.
Check the continuity and insulation of the following connection:
• HK between components 225 and 756,
If the connection(s) is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
If dialogue has still not been established after these checks, replace the airbag computer, component code 756
