Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.

PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS



When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the connector. Do
not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not tamper with the
connector.

lamp for a bulb check.

The lamp shall turn on for 6 seconds during the initialization phase and be turned off afterward. However, in
order to indicate the driver, the warning lamp shall turn on for 6 seconds and off for one second then on
continuously after the operating voltage is applied if any active fault exists.

SRSCM INDEPENDENT WARNING LAMP ACTIVATION

There are certain fault conditions in which the SRSCM cannot function and thus cannot control the operation of
the standard warning lamp. In these cases, the standard warning lamp is directly activated by appropriate
circuitry that operates independently of the SRSCM. These cases are:

1. Loss of battery supply to the SRSCM: warning lamp turned on continuously.

2. Loss of internal operating voltage: warning lamp turned on continuously.

3. Loss of Microprocessor operation: warning lamp turned on continuously.

4. SRSCM not connected: warning lamp turned on continuously through the shorting bar.

TELLTALE LAMP ACTIVATION

The Telltale Lamp indicates the Passenger Airbag (PAB) enabled and disabled status based on occupant status
of passenger seat. If the passenger seat is empty or occupied with child (or child seat), the Passenger Airbag is
disabled and the Telltale Lamp is turned ON to inform the driver that the PAB is disabled. As soon as operating
voltage is applied to the SRSCM ignition input, the SRSCM activates telltale lamp prove out. Occupant status
information and telltale status are indicated in OCCUPANT STATUS INFORMATION AND TELLTALE
STATUS.

OCCUPANT STATUS INFORMATION AND TELLTALE STATUS

After ignition on, telltale lamp will turn on for 4 seconds and turn off for 3 seconds during the initialization
phase and be turned off afterward until receipt of first valid suppression message from OCS system.
