In BYD vehicles, the airbag control module, also known as the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) module, is typically located under the center console between the front seats, beneath the dashboard, or under the front driver or passenger seat.
Steps to Access the Airbag Control Module:
- Disconnect the Battery:
- Before beginning any work, disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental airbag deployment.
- Remove the negative cable first, followed by the positive cable.
- Locate the Module:
- Identify the SRS airbag unit, which typically has a metal enclosure with a yellow or black plug.
- In most vehicles, it is found under the center console between the front seats, under the dashboard, or beneath the front driver or passenger seat.
- Unbolt and Disconnect:
- Once the module is accessible, unbolt it from its mounting position.
- Carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses connected to the module, noting their positions for reinstallation.
Important Considerations:
- Safety Precautions:
- Always disconnect the battery and wait at least 3 minutes before working on the airbag system to ensure residual power is discharged.
- Handle the airbag module and related components with care to avoid accidental deployment.
- Professional Assistance:
- If you’re not experienced with automotive safety systems, it’s advisable to seek assistance from a qualified technician to ensure proper handling and maintenance.
