Honda Element. Manual — part 126

11. Measure the voltage between the No. 17 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and

between the No. 18 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.

Fig. 161: Measuring Voltage Between SRS Unit Connector C (28P) Terminal 17 And Body Ground

Is the voltage as specified?

YES -Go to step 12.

NO -Short to power in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; replace
the faulty harness.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

13. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector) and simulator lead H to the floor wire harness 2P

connector (A).

14. Measure the resistance between the No. 17 and No. 18 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There

should be 1.0 ohms or less.

Fig. 163: Measuring Resistance Between SRS Unit Connector C (28P) Terminal 17 And 18

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Faulty left side impact sensor (second) or SRS unit; replace the left side impact sensor (second)
(see SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (SECOND) REPLACEMENT ). If the problem is still present, replace
the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Open in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; replace the
faulty harness.

DTC 46-1X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): NO SIGNAL FROM THE RIGHT SIDE
IMPACT SENSOR (SECOND)

Special Tools Required



SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A



SRS simulator lead H 07YAZ-S3AA100

1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then

goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 46-1 x indicated?

YES -Go to step 3.

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and
Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General
Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
INFORMATION ).

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot
the DTC.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.

4. Check the connections at C551, C652, C604, and floor wire harness 2P connector at the right side impact

sensor (second).

Is the connection OK?

YES -Go to step 5.

NO -Repair the poor connections and retest. If DTC 46-1x is still present, go to step 5.

5. Disconnect the floor wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side impact sensor (second).

6. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).

7. Measure the resistance between the No. 19 and No. 20 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There

should be an open circuit or at least 1 M ohms.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Go to step 8.

NO -Short in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; replace the
faulty harness.

8. Measure the resistance between the No. 19 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and

between the No. 20 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.

Ground

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Go to step 9.

NO -Short to ground in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness;
replace the faulty harness.

9. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

11. Measure the voltage between the No. 19 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and

between the No. 20 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.
