What are the safety regulations when working on airbag, belt tensioner and battery isolator units (pyrotechnic components) for the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?

Safety regulations when working on airbag, belt tensioner and battery isolator units (pyrotechnic components):

  • Pyrotechnic components always contain a propellant that generates a gas during combustion. On some versions, a separate compressed gas reservoir is available to generate the gas.
  • This compressed gas is stored under high pressure in a compressed gas tank.
  • Ignition of the pyrotechnic components is by means of an electric/mechanical igniter.
  • Testing, removing, installing and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
  • For airbag units, there are no exchange intervals.
  • Under no circumstances should checks be carried out with a test lamp, voltmeter or ohmmeter.
  • Pyrotechnic components may only be checked in installed state and with vehicle diagnosis, testing and information systems approved by the manufacturer.
  • When working on pyrotechnic components and airbag control unit -J234-, the battery earth strap must be disconnected with the ignition switched on. Then cover negative terminal.
  • A waiting time of 10 seconds is necessary after disconnecting the battery.
  • The battery must be connected with the ignition SWITCHED ON. When doing this, there should be no-one inside the vehicle. Exception: Vehicles with battery inside passenger compartment. In this case do not stay anywhere near the effective range of the airbags and seat belts.
  • Wash hands after coming into contact with triggered pyrotechnic components of restraint system.
  • Pyrotechnic components must not be opened or repaired; always use new parts (risk of injury).
  • Pyrotechnic components that have been dropped onto a hard surface or show signs of damage must not be installed in a vehicle.
  • Before handling pyrotechnic components of the restraint system, for example before separating an electrical connection, the mechanic must electrostatically discharge him/herself. Electrostatic discharge is achieved by touching earthed metallic parts, such as the door striker plate.
  • Pyrotechnic components must be installed immediately after they have been removed from their packaging.
  • If work is interrupted, the pyrotechnic component must be stored back in its packaging.
  • Leaving the pyrotechnic component unattended is prohibited.
  • Pyrotechnic components must not come into contact with grease, cleaning solution or similar.
  • Pyrotechnic components must not be subjected to temperatures above 100 °C even for short periods.

What are the special instructions for belt tensioners when working on the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?

Special instructions for belt tensioners:

  • Never point open end of belt tensioner at another person.
  • Belt tensioner units must be handled with extreme caution during removal and installation. If handled incorrectly, there is a high risk of injury and damage in relation to the belt tensioner units.
  • When connecting the belt tensioner unit, all mechanical parts (including those of the 3-point seat belt) must be properly attached. If connection of the belt tensioner unit is hindered due to tight conditions, the belt strap must be rolled up completely before connecting. In this case there is no heightened risk of safety as long as the additional safety instructions are heeded. Essentially this is aimed at battery disconnection and electrostatic discharge of the fitter prior to connection of the belt tensioner unit.
  • Depending on the crash intensity, it is possible that the belt tensioner was triggered but the belt force limiter did NOT ignite. These parts are to be treated as unignited components!

What are the requirements for storage, transportation, and disposal of airbag, belt tensioner, and battery isolator units (pyrotechnic components) for the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?

Requirements for storage, transportation, and disposal of airbag, belt tensioner, and battery isolator units (pyrotechnic components):

  • Storage must comply with the relevant national legislation.
  • Transportation is subject to national and international regulations that govern packaging, marking, labelling and freight documentation in detail.
  • Untriggered pyrotechnic components must be disposed of correctly in the original packaging in accordance with national legislation. Contact your importer if in any doubt.
  • Only completely ignited pyrotechnic components may be disposed of through the commercial waste system.

What is the procedure for checking seat belt webbing after an accident on the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?

If either of the following illustrated damage examples (points 1 or 2) are found on accident vehicle – renew seat belt complete with belt buckle and belt height adjustment.

If damage as illustrated under points 1, 2, 3 and 4 is determined on a vehicle which has not been involved in an accident, it is sufficient to renew damaged belt only.

  • Belt webbing cut, torn or chafed.
  • Torn webbing loops on belt edge.

  • One edge of belt deformed or wavy.

How do I check the inertia reel (locking mechanism) of the seat belt after an accident on the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?

The inertia reel has two locking functions:

The first locking function is triggered by the belt being jerked out of reel (belt extraction acceleration). Checking this function:

Step 1. Pull belt out of inertia reel with firm jerk.

If it will not lock – renew seat belt complete with buckle.

If difficulties are experienced when belt is extended or retracted, first check whether position of inertia reel has been altered.

The second locking function is triggered by a change in vehicle speed (vehicle-dependent locking function). Vehicle must be moved over a flat level surface for this. Checking this function:

Step 1. Put on seat belt.

Step 2. Accelerate vehicle to 20 km/h and then carry out emergency braking with foot brake.

If seat belt is not locked by locking mechanism during braking procedure, renew seat belt complete with buckle.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the road test should be carried out on a traffic-free stretch to ensure that other road users are not endangered.

If latch plate fails even once to engage properly in belt buckle during at least 5 tests, renew seat belt complete with belt buckle.

Checking release mechanism:

Step 1. Release seat belt by pressing button on belt buckle with finger pressure.

Step 2. When belt is slack, latch plate must spring out of belt buckle on its own.

Carry out test at least 5 times. If latch plate fails even once to spring out of buckle, renew seat belt complete with belt buckle.

WARNING: Under no circumstances whatsoever may lubricant be used to eliminate noise or stiffness in belt buckle buttons.


What should be checked regarding belt guide fittings and latch plates on the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2005?
