NOTE:

The "x" at the end of each DTC denotes a numeric character (0 thru 9) or an alpha character (A thru
F) that you will see on the HDS display. The character is unrelated to your troubleshooting; it
designates the SRS unit manufacturer and other detail used for product analysis.

(1)

The SRS indicator turns on and stays on whenever the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position, or
until the code is cleared.

(2)

The SRS indicator turns on when the DTC is set. The SRS indicator will not turn on after the ignition
switch is cycled from ON (II) to OFF (0), but the DTC is stored in the SRS unit.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SRS COMPONENTS

Airbags

The SRS is a safety device which, when used with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and front
passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the SRS unit, including safing
sensor and impact sensor (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag (C), the front passenger's airbag (D), side
airbags (E), side curtain airbags (F), seat belt tensioners (G), seat belt buckle tensioners (H), side impact sensors
(first) (I), front impact sensors (J) and side impact sensors (second) (K), roll rate sensor (L), and rear safing
sensor (M). Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate. This can occur when the severity of a collision
is at the margin, or threshold, that the SRS unit determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases,
the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be
minimal.

Front Passenger's Weight Sensors

The ODS unit (N) is in the front passenger's seat-back. The front passenger's weight sensors (O) are part of the
seat base. The weight sensors detect the weight on the seat, and send the information to the ODS unit. If the



Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat.



If the side airbag cutoff indicator stays on after the
ignition switch is turned ON (II), initialize the ODS
unit (see ODS UNIT INITIALIZATION ).



If the side airbag cutoff indicator operates
normally, the system is OK.



If the side airbag cutoff indicator stays on or
blinks, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back (see
FRONT SEAT-BACK COVER
REPLACEMENT ). The sensor is part of the
seat-back pad.
