NOTE:

.

1. *1: If the vehicle condition returns to normal, the DTC will be automatically erased, and the SRS warning

light will return to normal.

2. *2: However, if no DTC resets, the SRS warning light will be switched off (The DTC will be retained).
3. If the vehicle has a discharged battery, it will store the DTC 41 or 42. When these DTC are read, check the

battery.

When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position (engine stopped), the SRS warning
light does not illuminate.

Refer to DTC No.43.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• When the left and right front impact sensors

detect a collision, the switches inside the sensors
turns ON.

• SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by

detecting signals from the front impact sensors
and the analog G-sensor. If the impact is over a
predetermined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an
ignition signal. At this time, if the safing G-sensor
is on, the SRS air bag will inflate.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
These DTC are set if there is abnormal resistance
between the input terminals of the front impact sen-
sors.
The most likely causes for these codes to be set are
shown in the table below:

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the front impact sensor

• Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

• Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
