

Before troubleshooting any of these DTCs, check the battery/system
voltage. If the voltage is low, repair the charging system or replace the
battery before troubleshooting the SRS. If the battery/system voltage is
now OK, ask the customer if the battery ever went dead. A dead battery
may trigger one of these DTCs.
