Variant Coding: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After replacing the SRSCM with a new one, one MUST perform the "Variant Coding" procedure.

NOTE:
  1. In SRSCM variant coding mode, the airbag warning lamp periodically flickers (ON: 0.5 sec., OFF: 0.5 sec.) until the coding is normally completed.
  2. If the variant coding has 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) when attempting the Variant Coding, DTC B1762 will be displayed instead. In this case, charge the battery as the first thing and then proceed with the variant coding procedure.

    This is because although Variant Coding is normally performed, DTC B1762 and low battery will be displayed.
