SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK

(a)

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and check that
the SRS warning light lights up.

Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx.
6 seconds.

HINT:

S

When the ignition switch is at ON and the SRS warning
light remains on or flashes, the airbag sensor assembly
has detected a malfunction code.

S

If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warn-
ing light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light
lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short in
the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely.
Proceed to ”SRS warning light circuit malfunction” on
page DI-434.

(a)

Present troubles codes:
Output the DTC.
(1)

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait
for approx. 20 seconds.

(2)

(c)

Read the DTC.
Read the 2–digit DTC as indicated by the number of times
the SRS warning light blinks. As an example, the blinking
patterns, normal, 11 and 31 are shown in the illustration.

S

Normal code indication
The light will blink 2 times per second.

S

Malfunction code indication
The first blinking output indicates the first digit
of a 2–digit DTC. After a 1.5–second pause,
the second blinking output will indicate the
second digit.

If there are 2 or more codes, there will be a 2.5–second pause
between each code. After all the codes have been output, there
will be a 4.0–second pause and they will all be repeated.
HINT:

S

In the event of a number of trouble codes, indication will
start from the smallest numbered code.

S

If a DTC is not output or a DTC is output without terminal
connection, proceed to the Tc terminal circuit inspection
on page DI–439.
