Kia Sportage: SRSCM / SRS Control Module (SRSCM) Repair procedures

Kia Sportage QL (2015-2025) Service Manual / Restraint / SRSCM / SRS Control Module (SRSCM) Repair procedures

Removal

1.	Remove the Ignition from the vehicle.

2.	Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning work.

3.	Remove the floor console. (Refer to Body (Interior and Exterior) - "Floor console")

4.	Disconnect the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM) connector (A).

Loosen the bolt (A) and nuts (B) and then remove the Supplemental Restraint System Control Module (SRSCM).

You must remove or install SRSCM or other SRS components with the ignition switch OFF to avoid accidental airbag deployment.

Installation

1.	Remove the Ignition from the vehicle.

2.	Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait for at least thirty seconds before beginning work.

Install the SRSCM with the SRSCM mounting bolt (A) and nuts (B).

Tightning torque :

7.8 - 13.7 N·m (0.8 - 1.4 kgf·m, 5.8 - 10.1 lb·ft)

4.	Connect the SRSCM harness connector.

5.	Install the floor console. (Refer to Body - "Floor console")

6.	Reconnect the battery negative terminal.

7.	After installing the SRSCM, confirm proper system operation: Turn the ignition switch ON; the SRS indicator light should be turned on for about six seconds and then go off.

Variant coding

After replacing the SRSCM, the “Variant Coding” must be performed.

1)	On SRSCM variant coding mode, the airbag warning lamp is periodically blinking (ON: 0.5sec., OFF: 0.5sec.) until the coding is normally completed.

If the variant coding is failed, DTC B1762 (ACU Coding Error) will be displayed and the warning lamp will be turned on.

In this case, perform the variant coding procedure again after confirming the cause in “DTC Fault State Information”.

Variant Coding can be performed up to 255 times, but if the number of coding work exceeds 255 times, DTC B1683 (Exceed Maximum coding Number) will be displayed and SRSCM must be replaced.

3)	If the battery voltage is low (less than 9V), DTC B1102 will be displayed. In this case, charge the battery before anything else, and then perform the variant coding procedure. DTC B1762 (ACU Coding Error) and B1102 (Battery Voltage Low) may be displayed simultaneously.

Variant coding Procedure

■ On-Line type on KDS/GDS

1.	Ignition "OFF", connect KDS/GDS.

2.	Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF" select vehicle name and airbag system.

3.	Select Variant coding mode.

4.	Follow steps on the screen as below.

1) Initial ACU Variant Coding screen

2) VIN Code entering screen

3) Variant coding's proceeding screen-1

4) Variant coding's proceeding screen-2

5) Variant coding is completed

1) This screen is opened when you try the variant coding again on the SRSCM which has bee performed variant coding.

2) Screen of communication failure

■ Off-line type on KDS/GDS (This can be used when not connecting to internet)

1) Initial ACU Variant Coding screen

2) ACU Coding Code entering screen

3) Screen of rechecking ACU Coding code's entering

4) Variant coding's proceeding screen-1

5) Variant coding's proceeding screen-2

6) Variant coding is completed

1) This screen is opened when you try the variant coding again on the SRSCM which has been performed variant coding.
