Kia Carnival (2007 year). Instruction — part 209

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >

DESCRIPTION

Driver Airbag (DAB) is installed in steering wheel and electrically connected to SRSCM via clockspring. It protects the
driver from danger by deploying a bag when frontal crash occurs. The SRSCM determines deployment of Driver Airbag
(DAB).

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.

INSPECTION

Driver Airbag (DAB)

If any improper parts are found during the following inspection, replace the airbag module with a new one.

Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified
tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious
personal injury.

1. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformities.

2. Check the airbag module for denting, cracking or deformation.

3. Check hooks and connectors for damage, terminals for deformities, and harness for binds.
