DISABLE PROCEDURE AND TIME (Always Check Service Manual)
The pyrotechnic components may be checked only when they are installed and with a VW approved vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system.1) When working on pyrotechnic components and on the airbag control module -J234• , the battery ground cable must be disconnected WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHED ON. Then cover the negative terminal.
2) Wait for 10 seconds after disconnecting the battery.

PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT
Airbag Units, Removing and Installing After an Accident:The airbag control module must be replaced [MODULE,AIRBAG CONTROL]:
1) With driver and passenger airbag deployment “but not with airbag generation 9.•, 10.• and 8.R“
2) After 3 side airbag, driver's airbag, passenger's airbag or belt tensioner deployments
3) If housing is damaged
4) If there is deformation on the tunnel in 200 mm circumference around control module
Always replace the following:
• All triggered airbag units [AIRBAG,STEERING WHEEL; AIRBAG,INSTRUMENT PNL; AIRBAG,KNEE BOLSTER; AIRBAG,FRONT SEAT; AIRBAG,ROOF; AIRBAG,REAR SEAT]
• The battery interrupt igniter -N253• [IGNITER,BATTERY INTERRUPT]
Also with passenger airbag deployment:
• Instrument Panel
• Deformed passenger front passenger airbag unit (cannot be reformed).
• All sensors for front airbag on front end [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
Also with Driver airbag deployment:
• Coil connector with slip ring [CLOCK SPRING]
• All sensors for front airbag on front end [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRONT]
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
Also with side airbag deployment:
• Pressure sensor on deployed side [AIRBAG SENSOR,FRT DOOR]
• Cross acceleration sensors on deployed side [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
• Seat cover
• Cushion
• With a folding rear seat backrests: Side upholstery (if present)
• Remaining cross acceleration sensors if anchorage point is deformed in sensor region [AIRBAG SENSOR,QTR PANEL]
In Addition:
• All belt retractors with deployed belt tensioners
• All belt retractors with deployed belt force limiters (depending on equipment)
• Seat belt latches for all automatic belt retractors with deployed seat belt tensioners
• Seat belt height adjustment (manual and power) for all automatic belt retractors with deployed seat belt tensioners
PARTS THAT MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED
Test the system with a suitable vehicle tester.• Connect the vehicle diagnostic tester if there is a chance the belt tensioner and/or seat belt force limiter deployed
If needed (visual inspection), the following must also be replaced: all faulty components
All damaged securing pieces must be replaced, you cannot reshape components or »make them fit«.
• The airbag control module can be used for up to 2 side airbag and/or belt tensioner deployments with airbag generation 8.•, except »8.R«.
• The airbag control module can be used for up to two side, driver and passenger airbag and/or belt tensioner deployments with airbag generation 9.•, 10.• and 8.R .
• After the third deployment, the malfunction display "Control module defect" appears.
The following components must be checked after every airbag deployment
• Seat belts and seat belt mounting points
With a passenger airbag deployment:
• Instrument panel central tube, passenger airbag supports and passenger airbag must be installed free of tension. Replace central tube.
• Check the glove compartment for damage. Replace the glove compartment if damaged
With a driver airbag deployment:
• Steering wheel
Also with side curtain airbag deployment
• Do not make any repairs to the trims (upper A-pillar trim, B-pillar trim, C-pillar trim, and D-pillar trim)
• Replace entire module when making repairs behind side curtain airbag.
• Each time an airbag or passenger belt tensioner deploys, a basic setting must be performed on the seat occupied recognition control module.
• If the seat rails and/or seat pan is replaced after an accident due to deformations resulting from a crash, the passive occupant detection system must be replaced using the “passive occupant detection system service kit”
