Self-diagnosis of airbag system
Description of system
Airbag system comprises:

♦ Airbag control units

♦ Side crash sensor

♦ Driver airbag

♦ Passenger airbag

♦ Driver and passenger side airbag

♦ Mechanically ignited seat belt tensioner for

driver and passenger seat belts

♦ Switch for front passenger airbags (special

equipment vehicles MY03 ➤)

01
The described airbag system consists of the
actuators, driver airbag, passenger airbag, driver
and passenger side airbags and two front seat
belt tensioners.
These are directly ignited by the airbag control
unit (J234) in the event of a crash as soon as
the given activation criteria are exceeded.

The belt tensioners are ignited independently

of the signal from the airbag control unit.

It is possible to re-activate or deactivate the front

passenger airbag using the self-diagnosis
⇒ page 01-15.10.

If the front passenger airbag unit is deactivated,

a fault relating to erasing airbag unit is stored in
the fault memory and after the airbag unit is sub-
sequently re-activated, it is erased from the fault
memory (only for vehicles which do not have a
switch for the front passenger airbag).

The switching on and off operations are underta-

ken by means of the switch for the front passen-
ger airbag if the vehicle is fitted with such a switch.

When igniting the driver and front passenger

front airbag, the fault „crash data stored“ is ente-
red into the fault memory and the airbag control
unit must be replaced with a new original part.

If the control unit detects a side collision, it ig-

nites the side airbag on the crash side. The fault
„crash data of driver side airbag stored“ or „crash
data of front passenger side airbag stored“ is
entered in the fault memory. These data can be
erased 3x at the most, after which the control
unit must be replaced with a new original part
(valid for vehicles 08.00 ➤).
For vehicles ➤ 07.00 these data cannot be era-
sed, the control must be replaced with a new
original part.

Code the new control unit when it is put into

service ⇒ page 01-11.

Edition 03.03 ------------ ------------

S00.5118.64.20
01 Self-diagnosis OCTAVIA

Once an airbag unit is ignited then the control

unit sends a signal to the control unit for the
convenience system or for the central locking
system and to the engine control unit. This func-
tion serves to maintain passive safety on the
vehicle.

On ignition of an airbag unit:

♦ all doors are unlocked

♦ the interior lighting is switched on

♦ the fuel delivery unit is switched off 1)

1) Depending on the version of the control

unit

The signal from the control unit should be

checked with the aid of an actuator diagnosis
⇒ Page 01-9.

The control unit for the airbag (J234) is located

in the front area of the middle console ⇒ Page
69-16. The control unit is fitted with a fault
memory.

The control unit detects an error in the airbag

unit and stores this in the permanent memory.

There are also faults stored which are due to

temporary interruptions in the line or a loose
connection. This type of fault is shown as a spo-
radic fault „SP“.

On switching on the ignition the warning light

for the airbag (K75) lights up for 4 seconds. If
the warning light then blinks for a further 12 sec-
onds this signalises that one of the front pas-
senger airbag units has been locked electroni-
cally (only for vehicles which do not have a
switch for front passenger airbags).

♦ If the warning light (K75) does not goes out

after 4 seconds then there is a fault present.
Interrogate the fault memory ⇒ Page 01-8.

♦ If the warning light (K75) goes out and then

goes on again then the control unit is not
coded, the wrong control unit has been in-
stalled or there is a fault. Interrogate the fault
memory ⇒ Page 01-8.

♦ If the warning light (K75) is continuously blink-

ing then the control unit (J234) must be re-
placed.

A self-diagnosis should be initiated at the be-

ginning of the search for a fault and the stored
information is to be called up using the Vehicle
System Tester V.A.G 1552, V.A.G 1551 or V.A.S
5051.

Notes:
♦ The sequence below relates only to the ve-
hicle system tester V.A.G 1552 with pro-
gramme card 6.0.
♦ Use of vehicle system tester V.A.S 1551 or
V.A.G 1551 with programme card 9.0, is simi-
lar with the exception of specific variations
(e.g. different readouts in display, use of
printer).
♦ The function 06 „End output“ must be se-
lected in order to end the diagnosis or to
switch to another address word.

All the fault information displayed is used to re-

fer to a fault table in order to determine the pos-
sible causes and conduct specific repair meas-
ures.

When carrying out tests and removal and in-

stallation operations, faults may be stored in
other control units (e.g. because of separating
plug connections). For this reason, always in-
terrogate the fault memories of all the control
units and then erase them.

Procedure:

- Enter address word 00 „Automatic test se-

quence“. Vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552,
or V.A.G 1551, checks the fault memories of
all the systems in the vehicle with a self-di-
agnosis capability.

- If the corresponding ECU responds with its

identification, the number and type of stored
faults appears in the display, or „No fault rec-
ognized“.

- Rectify any faults which exist and erase the

fault memory.

Guidelines for undertaking an

airbag system self-diagnosis
Required special tools, testing and measur-
ing equipment as well auxiliary devices and
material:

♦ The Vehicle System Tester V.A.G 1552

♦ The diagnostic cable V.A.G 1551/3, 3A, 3B

or 3C

♦ A multimeter e.g. V.A.G 1526 A

♦ Test box VAS 5056 with adapter cable VAS

5056/1 and VAS 5056/2

Take note!
Only check the cable guides and plug connectors


to ensure that they are seated properly when the
ignition is switched off (also possible disconnec-
tion of the plug connections).
Employees must be „electrostatically discharged“
before disconnecting the plug connections for the
airbag.
Do not undertake continuity checks or other meas-
urements in the ignition circuit when the airbag
units and belt tighteners are connected up!
Always finish the self-diagnosis while removing
faults or seeking to determine the origin of a fault
before disconnecting and reconnecting the indi-
vidual airbag components, and then undertake a
new one afterwards!
Airbag locking is only allowed on the front pas-
senger side ⇒ Page 01-15.10. Locking of other
airbag units can only be undertaken in exceptional
circumstances and then only after receiving writ-
ten permission from the PST (the Czech Republic)
or from the importer.
Only check the strands of electrical cable for the
airbag system for short-circuiting or interruptions
when the plugs are disconnected on the airbag and
control unit for the airbag, when the ignition is
switched off and the battery is unclamped!
Observe the safety regulations for working in
airbag units when removing and installing the
airbag units ⇒ Page 69-8.
Observe the safety regulations for working on belt
tighteners when removing and installing the belt
tightener ⇒ Page 69-2.2.

Note:
Additional work is to be undertaken when dis-
connecting and re-connecting the battery earth
⇒ Electrical System, Rep.Gr. 27.

To commence fault finding, initiate self-diagno-

sis and interrogate the information stored using
the fault reader V.A.G 1552 or V.A.G 1551.

Notes:
The description which follows relates only to the
vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 using pro-
gramme card version 6.0.
Use of the vehicle system tester V.A.S 5051 or
V.A.G 1551 with programme card 9.0 is similar
with the exception of specific differences (e.g.
different readouts in display, use of printer).
To end the output, it is necessary to select the
function 06 „End output“.

./012
The fault information displayed is used to refer
to a fault table with information regarding the
possible causes in order to carry out specific
repair measures.

Faults which are attributable to a temporary open

circuit in the wiring or to a loose contact, are
also stored. These faults are displayed as spo-
radic faults „SP“. If such faults no longer occur
within 2 minutes after switching on the ignition
50 times, they are automatically erased from the
fault memory.

The visual Safe function display is indicated by

an LED in the door waistrail of the driver door.

Interrogating control unit version

Vehicles are equipped with different generation
types of the convenience system control unit,
which in turn have different fault messages,
measured value blocks and adaptation. To de-
termine the control unit type interrogate the con-
trol unit identification number on the fault reader
and then find this control unit in the list of con-
trol units ⇒ page 01-48.1. The table states the
date and series number of the control unit gen-
eration. This information will further determine
the repair procedure.

- Connect fault reader V.A.G 1552 and select

the control unit for central locking ⇒ page
01-46.

Self-diagnosis of electrically
operated seats with memory
System description
System consists of:

♦ Seat control unit

♦ Convenience system central control unit

♦ Driver door control unit

♦ Passenger door control unit

♦ Switch unit in driver seat

♦ Electric seat system

The system performs the following functions:

♦ Adjusting driver seat height into the selected

position with switches for individual directions

♦ Automatic adjustment of driver seat height

and adjustment of rear-view mirror by select-
ing a memory

♦ Automatic adjustment of driver seat height

and adjustment of rear-view mirror when
vehicle unlocked with remote control

The control unit for the electrically operated

seats with memory is located in the lower area
of the driver seat frame.

Operating electrically operated seat with memory

⇒ Owner’s Manual.

Initialising seats

When the seat is connected for the first time to

the supply voltage, or when the control unit and
the mechanism for the electrically operated seat
is replaced, it is necessary to carry out an ini-
tialisation of the seat.

Initialisation is performed by moving the backrest

into the front end stop with the driver open. The
seat memory does not operate unless initialis-
ing is performed. This initialising must not be
performed if the voltage is less than 10.5 V as
correct identification of the front stop would not
be performed.

Note:
If the automatic movement of the seat is inter-
rupted by adjusting the seat manually, once
again operate the switch for the appropriate di-
rection of movement and move the seat the full
distance.

Edition 06.01 ------------ 01-77 ------------

S00.5118.60.20
01 Self-Diagnosis OCTAVIA

Once initialising of the seat has been performed,

it is not necessary to repeat initialising after dis-
connecting the seat and re-connecting it to the
voltage supply.

Initialising can be switched off once the backrest

has been moved up to the front stop and the
switch is operated for a further 5 seconds or so.
Switching off initialising is indicated by a double
tone signal. It may be necessary to switch off
initialising, for example, for installing an exist-
ing control unit in a new seat.

Notes:
♦ The description below refers only to vehicle
system tester V.A.G 1552 with programme
card 6.0.
♦ Use of vehicle system tester V.A.G 1551 with
programme card 9.0 is similar with the ex-
ception of specific differences (e.g. different
readouts in display, use of printer).
♦ In order to end diagnosis or to switch to an-
other address word, it is necessary to select
function 06 „End output“.

The fault information displayed is used to refer

to a fault table with information regarding the
possible causes in order to carry out specific
repair measures.

Temporary faults (such as open circuit in wiring

or loose contacts at plug connections), are also
stored in the fault memory. These faults are in-
dicated as sporadic faults by „SP“.

♦ Belt tensioner units must neither be opened
nor repaired. Always replace with new ge-
nuine parts.

♦ Belt tensioner units which have dropped onto

the ground, must not be installed in a vehicle.

♦ Belt tensioner units which have suffered

mechanical damage (dents, cracks) must
always be replaced by new genuine parts.

♦ Belt tensioners must not be disposed of as

common scrap, but must be handed over to
a specialist company or to the importer for
proper disposal in conformity with the ins-
tructions of PST and environmental protec-
tion regulations. This also applies to ignited
belt tensioners (it is not possible to determine
with certainty whether all 3 pyrotechnical
charges of the belt tensioner have ignited).

♦ Use the specified shipping packaging for


storing and shipping.

♦ The belt tensioner unit should be installed

immediately after it is removed from the
shipping packaging.

♦ If the installation work is interrupted, the belt

tensioner unit should be placed again in the
shipping packaging.

♦ It is not permitted to leave a belt tensioner

unit unattended.

♦ The belt tensioner unit must not be treated

with grease, cleaning products or similar
materials, and must also not be exposed to
temperatures of more than 100 °C, not even
for short periods.

♦ Belt tensioner units must not be subjected

to any shocks.

♦ Remove belt tensioners before carrying out

any repair operations (cutting, straightening
and panel beating operations etc.).

♦ Following an accident in which the belt

tensioner was ignited (seat belts no longer
roll up), always replace both belt tensioners
together with the seat belts.

♦ The belt inertia reel is blocked so long as

the seat belts are in the base position (not
used).

♦ Before disposing of a vehicle, remove the

belt tensioners and return them for disposal
in accordance with specifications.

♦ Do not use any impact screwdrivers for

removing and installing belt tensioners.

Inspecting seat belts

Warning!
Following an accident the seat belt system must
systematically be examined! If it is found to be
damaged on the basis of the items checked, the
customer must be informed of the necessity of
having the seat belts replaced with new genuine
parts.

Check items:

l Check seat belt

l Check retractor (locking action)

l Visual inspection of buckle


l Functional check of buckle

l Check sash guides and buckle latches

l Check attachment parts and attachment points

l Check lap belt retractor

Note:
If the customer refuses to have a damaged seat
belt replaced, this must be recorded as such.

Checking seat belt

- Pull seat belt completely out of retractor or
lap belt adjustment latch.

- Check seat belt for:

l Soiling, wash with soap water if necessary.

l Cracked fabric loops on the belt side.

l Cuts, cracks or scuff marks.

l Burn stains caused, among others, by ciga-

rettes.

- If a crashed car exhibits one of the above-

mentioned damages, the seat belt together
with the buckle must be replaced with a new
genuine part.

------------ ------------ Edition 12.98

S00.5118.55.20
OCTAVIA Occupant Protection 69

Checking retractor (locking action)

The belt retractor has two locking functions.

♦ The first locking function is triggered by

quickly pulling the belt out of the retractor
(belt withdrawal acceleration).

Check

- Pull the belt out of the retractor by giving it a

forceful jerk.

l No locking action: replace seat belt together

with buckle with a new genuine part.

l In case of difficulties in withdrawal or retrac-

tion of the belt: first check whether the posi-
tion of the retractor has not been altered.


♦ The second locking function is triggered by
a change in the vehicle’s movement (vehi-
cle-dependent locking function).

Check

- Buckle up.

- Increase speed of vehicle to 20 km/h and

then perform a hard stop.

l If the blocking device does not lock the belt

during braking, the seat belt together with
buckle must be replaced with a new genu-
ine part.

Warning!
For safety reasons the drive test must be per-
formed on a traffic-free track so as not to expose
other road users to any danger.

Visual inspection of buckle

- Inspect buckle for cracking and flaking.

l If damaged, replace seat belt together with

buckle with a new genuine part.

Edition 12.98 ------------ ------------

S00.5118.55.20
69 Occupant Protection OCTAVIA

Functional check of buckle

Check buckle:

- Insert latch into buckle until it snaps into

place. Exert a powerful pull on the seat belt
to check whether the locking mechanism is
latched.

l Perform this check at least five times. If at

any time the latch is not locked in the buckle,
replace the seat belt together with the buckle
with a new genuine part.

Check unlocking:

- Release seat belt by pressing the button on

the buckle with a finger.


With the seat belt in released condition the
latch should automatically jump out of the
buckle.

l Perform this check at least five times. If at

any time the latch does not jump out, replace
the seat belt together with the buckle with a
new genuine part.

Warning!
Never use lubricants to eliminate noisy or stiff
operation of the buttons on the buckles.

Check sash guides and buckle latches

Plastic-coated sash guides of a belt system that

has been subjected to stress (belt usage during
accident) exhibit parallel, fine score marks. (In
contrast, wear that is caused by heavy use is
indicated by a non-striped, smooth abrasion.)

- Inspect plastic for deformation, flaking and

cracking.

l In case of scoring and/or damage replace

seat belt together with buckle with a new
genuine part.

------------ ------------ Edition 12.98

S00.5118.55.20
OCTAVIA Occupant Protection 69

Check attachment parts and attachment

points

♦ Buckle deformed (stretched).

♦ Height adjuster does not operate.

♦ Attachment points (seat, pillar, floor) distorted

or thread damaged.

l If parts are found to be damaged, replace seat

belt together with buckle with a new genuine
part.

l Replace attachment points.

Note:
In case of damage that has not been caused by
an accident, e.g. wear, only the damaged part


has to be replaced.

♦ Before carrying out any work on the airbag
system disconnect the earth strap of the
battery. After disconnecting the battery it is
essential to wait one minute. The ignition
must be switched on when connecting the
airbag system to a power source and no
person should be present inside the vehicle.

♦ The mechanic should electrically discharge

himself before picking up (touching) the
airbag unit. This is done by touching an
earthed metal part, such as e.g. a water pipe,
heating pipe or a metal bracket.

♦ The airbag units should be installed imme-

diately after being removed from the trans-
portation packaging.

♦ If work is interrupted, place the airbag unit

back in the transportation packaging.

♦ It is not permitted to leave the airbag unit

69
unattended.

♦ When removed, airbag units should be sto-

red so that the active side is facing upwards.

♦ When removed, side airbag units should be

stored so that the information carrier is fac-
ing upwards.

♦ Airbag units that have been dropped on a

hard surface or which are otherwise dam-
aged, must not be fitted.

♦ Defective airbag units of the airbag system

which have not been ignited must be returned
for disposal to a specialist company or to the
importer in accordance with PST instructions
and environmental protection regulations.
The specified transportation packaging
should be used for this purpose

♦ The pyrotechnic propellant and the control unit

for the airbag system and the crash sensor
have a life of 15 years. Airbag units, control
units and crash sensors must be replaced with
new original parts once this period has elapsed.

♦ The airbag units must not be treated with

grease, cleaning agents or similar products
and must not be exposed to temperatures
above 100 °C, not even for short periods.

♦ Dispose of the airbag units before scrapping

the vehicle ⇒ 69-16.

♦ The inspections of the airbag system must

only be performed with the test and measure-
ment equipment provided as otherwise there
is a risk of the airbag unit being activated.

The following basic rules apply additionally

to side airbag units:

♦ It is not permitted to use commercially avail-

able protective seat covers. Protective seat
covers have a negative effect on the proper
operation of the side airbag.

♦ When replacing the backrest cover, it is nec-

essary to install new original clips in place of
the existing cover clips.

♦ New cover clips must be attached at the

same installation points as the old clips.

♦ If there is any damage to the backrest cover

caused by splits, burn holes etc., the cover
should always be replaced with a new genu-
ine part for safety reasons.

♦ If the side airbag has deployed, always re-

place the backrest upholstery with a new
genuine part.
