2003-08 RESTRAINTS Airbag - 9pa_Cayenne AIRBAG INTRODUCTION - AIRBAG Airbag system 0101 Cayenne as of model year 2003 General instructions/safety instructions The following points must be observed during vehicle diagnosis:  After the battery is connected, volatile memories must be reprogrammed. In the case of radio coding and tuning, the customer must be informed of decoding and the deleted tuner memory.  After troubleshooting or repairs, erase the fault memory with the 9588 Porsche System Tester II and carry out a test drive.  After the test drive, read out the fault memory with the 9588 Porsche System Tester II again. NOTE: The airbag triggering unit is part of the standard equipment of the Cayenne. There are two types of triggering unit: A 'RoW variant' (Rest of World variant) and a 'non-RoW variant'. The diagnosis/troubleshooting instructions given below can be used for both variants. The difference, from the point of view of diagnostics, is that the fault codes 1228 and 1578 cannot occur for the airbag triggering unit in the 'non-RoW variant'. In addition, various menu and selection functions in the 9588 Porsche System Tester II are not used. The following components are not part of the component arrangement for the 'non-RoW variant': Airbag switch and indicator light (passenger's air-bag OFF display). NOTE: The airbag system of the Cayenne includes a system check, which runs in the background and is activated when the ignition is switched on. In comparison to other model ranges, the airbag warning light remains on after the system check is complete (only if the ignition is still on and the engine is not started) and only goes out again when the engine is started and no faults are detected in the airbag system check. WARNING: Danger of injury through triggering of driver's airbag!  Never hang the 9588 Porsche System Tester II over the steering wheel! WARNING: Observe safety regulations when working on the airbag system, refer to 2006 Porsche Cayenne 2003-08 RESTRAINTS Airbag - 9pa_Cayenne 2006 Porsche Cayenne 2003-08 RESTRAINTS Airbag - 9pa_Cayenne

General information on the fault memory NOTE: The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster lights up to indicate sporadic faults (loose contacts, etc.) in the airbag ignition circuits. The airbag warning light remains on even when the fault is no longer present. It can only be turned off by reading out the fault memory, eliminating the cause of the fault and then erasing the fault memory, provided there are no other faults in the system. This means that even faults that only occur briefly are reported to the driver and stored in the fault memory. NOTE: The wiring harness between the airbag triggering unit and the driver's airbag unit has a number of disconnection points, which must be considered as most likely causes of the fault. The following disconnection points must be checked for correct contacts, possible corrosion or damage with the battery disconnected for at least one minute before actually replacing the airbag triggering unit as a last resort:  First disconnection point in front of spiral spring (behind top steering column switch)  Second disconnection point in steering wheel pod  Third disconnection point directly at driver's airbag unit (only inspect this visually - never disconnect plug! - see note below) NOTE: Never disconnect plugs that are connected directly to airbag modules and belt tensioners because these have been connected at a defined contact pressure in order to prevent a malfunction due to the plug becoming loose during the life of the vehicle. The plug connections (mostly 3-pin) provided for this purpose must be disconnected using an integrated short-circuit bridge. NOTE: The wiring harness between the airbag triggering unit and the side airbags in the seats has a number of disconnection points, which must be considered as most likely causes of the fault. The following disconnection points must be checked for correct contacts, possible corrosion or damage with the battery disconnected for at least one minute before actually replacing the airbag triggering unit as a last resort:  First disconnection point under seat area of driver's and passenger's seat (3-pin cut-off connection with short circuit bridge)  Second disconnection point between 3-pin cut-off connection and the side airbag (2-pin cut-off connection with short circuit bridge)  Third disconnection point directly at side airbag (only inspect this visually (this involves disassembling seat - should only be done in exceptional cases) - never disconnect plug! - see previous note) 2006 Porsche Cayenne 2003-08 RESTRAINTS Airbag - 9pa_Cayenne

The following components must be removed and replaced following an accident in which the airbag system was triggered:  Contact unit  Triggered airbag unit(s)  Triggered belt tensioner unit(s) The triggering unit must be replaced after the airbag is triggered for the third time. Fault code setting conditions Fault codes can be set in several circumstances, e.g.:  Battery disconnected  Plug connections disconnected  Faulty coding  Power failure  etc. In these circumstances, no fault is present in the system and the fault memory must be erased. Troubleshooting procedure Troubleshooting can only be performed when the fault is present. In other words, specific troubleshooting can only be performed in accordance with instructions (given under Diagnosis/troubleshooting for each fault code) if the entry has the status 'present' in the fault memory. If the fault is currently 'not present', please check the following: NOTE:  A period of 10 seconds is required to enable the triggering unit to identify all faults in the system. In order to guarantee that every possible fault source is checked during the vehicle test, the ignition must be switched on for at least 10 seconds.  The fault memory must be cleared following a fault in the airbag system and after it has been remedied.  The replacement of a component must be noted in the Guarantee and Maintenance booklet! To do this, attach the documentation number in a free panel intended for that purpose. The documentation number is attached to the replacement part as a tear-off sticker. NOTE: If the fault memory is cleared, the ignition must be switched off and then on again in order to check the fault path. Only in this way is another self-test carried out. 2006 Porsche Cayenne 2003-08 RESTRAINTS Airbag - 9pa_Cayenne

 Diagnostic conditions are met  All plug connections and ground points of the affected current path are OK.  View the fault frequency counter in the 9588 Porsche System Tester II using the fault memory Info key [F8] under 'Extended fault memory' and try to reach conclusions about eliminating any loose contacts in the system Diagnostic conditions 1. Clear fault memory. 2. Satisfy the requirements listed under 'Diagnostic conditions'. 3.
