2 Notes and overview of components
2.1 General information
WARNING
When retrofitting key-operated switch to deactivate airbag on
front passenger side -E224- and warning lamp for airbag de‐
activated on front passenger side -K145- , observe safety
precautions for working on airbags ⇒ General body repairs,
interior; Rep. Gr. 69 .
WARNING
Before handling the airbag units (e.g. unplugging the electrical
connector) the mechanic must discharge static electricity by
briefly touching the door striker plate, or similar.
♦ It should be noted that retrofitting the key-operated switch to
deactivate airbag on front passenger side -E224- is not pos‐
sible/necessary for all vehicle models ⇒ page 1 .
♦ After retrofitting key-operated switch to deactivate airbag on
front passenger side -E224- , airbag control unit -J234- must
be re-coded ⇒ page 86 . On Audi A6 2005 ▸, airbag control
unit -J234- must be adapted ⇒ page 87 .
♦ A functional test must be performed after retrofitting the key-
operated switch to deactivate airbag on front passenger side
-E224- and the warning lamp for airbag deactivated on front
passenger side -K145- . Deactivate the airbag (front passen‐
ger side); warning lamp for airbag deactivated on front pas‐
senger side -K145- must light constantly.Then activate the
airbag (front passenger side); warning lamp for airbag deacti‐
vated on front passenger side -K145- must go out.
♦ After retrofitting the key-operated switch to deactivate airbag
on front passenger side -E224- and the warning lamp for air‐
bag deactivated on front passenger side -K145- , interrogate
and erase the fault memories of all control units. To do so, use
a suitable vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system,
e.g. vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS
5051B- .
♦ After airbag or belt tensioner has been triggered, it is only
possible to retrofit the key-operated switch to deactivate air‐
bag on front passenger side -E224- after the airbag control unit
-J234- has been renewed.
