Airbag Modules

The environmental test according to AK-LVOl involves a climate change test, a salt spray fog test, a sunlight simulation, as well as a temperature shock test in addition to mechanical investigations. 

The salt spray fog test is performed at 35°C with a saline solution with pH = 7, wetting the specimen for 66 hours [512].

In part because airbag modules, as presently offered, are so extremely expensive, a great deal of research is bang done to develop less expensive and perhaps less risky nonexplosive systems. By 1994, most GM vehicles will have a system that uses no electrical detonator or sodium azide pellets. It will be powered by a pressurized cylinder containing argon gas. These devices are, of course, of little value to the survivor. A CM dealer can explain whether a specific vehicle has these new compressed gas systems.

Safety airbag module and clock spring must not be separated nor repaired, replace the failed ones with new ones. 

Please pay high attention when using the safety airbag module and clock spring, do not let them fall on the ground nor fall into water or oil. Moreover, replace the depressed, crack or deformed ones with new ones. 

After the safety airbag module is released, keep the released side up, store it somewhere flat and do not lay anything on it. 

The safety airbag module must not be stored in a place with the temperature above 93TJ. 

The released safety airbag module must be replaced with a new one, at the same time test the clock spring, replace it with a new one if something unusual with it. 

Diagnose the safety airbag module circuit with electric diagnostic instrument without separating it. 

The safety airbag module must be abandoned after its release according to the procedure... 

Read the diagnostic circuit, check whether the safety airbag module is in normal condition except the failure regions. 

Install the steering wheel and safety airbag module assembly after eloek spring s eentral involution. 

Check the following items and replace the corresponding safety airbag module part with anything abnormal with a new one. Abandon the safety airbag s old parts after its release according to the instructed procedure.
