DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6

NLRS0049S01

Inspecting SRS malfunctioning parts by using “AIR BAG”
warning lamp — Diagnosis mode
NOTE:
SRS will not enter Diagnosis mode if no malfunction is
detected in User mode.
1.

Turn ignition switch “ON”.

2.

After “AIR BAG” warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch “OFF” within 1 second.

3.

Wait more than 3 seconds.

4.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 three times.

5.

Turn ignition switch “ON”.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.

6.

“AIR BAG” warning lamp operates in Diagnosis mode as fol-
lows:

NOTE:
If SRS does not enter Diagnosis mode even though malfunction is
detected in User mode, check the battery voltage.
If the battery voltage is less than 9V, charge the battery. Then go
to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 7, page RS-60.
If the battery voltage is OK, replace the diagnosis sensor unit.

User mode. Compare “AIR BAG” warning lamp operation to
the chart on the next page

NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected, switch from Diagnosis mode to
user mode by turning the ignition switch as follows:
1)

Turn ignition switch “ON”.

2)

After “AIR BAG” warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch “OFF” within 1 second.
