Fig. 52: Measuring Resistance Between Terminals Of Both SRS Simulator Leads

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector A (28P) and the SRS unit. Check the
connection between the connector and the SRS unit. If the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see
SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Open in dashboard wire harness B; replace dashboard wire harness B.

DTC 11-3X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): SHORT TO ANOTHER WIRE OR
DECREASED RESISTANCE IN DRIVER'S AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR; DTC 11-6X ("X" CAN BE 0
THRU 9 OR A THRU F): SHORT TO ANOTHER WIRE OR DECREASED RESISTANCE IN
DRIVER'S AIRBAG SECOND INFLATOR

Special Tools Required



SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A



SRS simulator lead F 07XAZ-SZ30100



SRS short canceller 070AZ-SAA0100

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 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

NOTE:

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

YES -Go to step 3.

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. Disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector (A) from the cable reel.

5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and simulator lead F to the cable reel.

6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

7. Clear the DTC memory.

8. Read the DTC (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

YES -Go to step 9.

NO -Short in the driver's airbag first or second inflator; replace the driver's airbag (see DRIVER'S
AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ).

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

11. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and simulator lead F to dashboard wire harness

B.

12. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

13. Clear the DTC memory.

14. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

YES -Go to step 15.

NO -Short in the cable reel; replace the cable reel (see CABLE REEL REPLACEMENT ).

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

16. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).

17. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead. Do not disconnect the simulator lead

from the dashboard wire harness B 4P connector.

18. Connect a SRS short canceller (070AZ-SAA0100) to No. 7 and No. 8 terminals and No. 1 and No. 2

terminals of the SRS unit connector A (28P) (see OPENING THE SRS UNIT SHORTING
CONNECTORS FOR DIAGNOSIS ).

19. Measure the resistance between the terminals of both SRS simulator leads. There should be an open

circuit or at least 1Mohms.
