INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: If SRS warning light does not light up, perform the following troublesh\
ooting:
1Check ECU±B fuse.
Go to step
2Preparation.
P1. Disconnect battery negative (±) terminal cable, and
wait at least 90 seconds.
2. Remove steering wheel pad (See page RS±19).
3. Disconnect connectors of front passenger airbag assembly (See page RS±32).
Caution: Store the steering wheel pad with the
surface facing upward.
3Check connection of center airbag sensor assembly connector.
Repair.

OK
P1. Disconnect center airbag sensor assembly.
2. Connect negative (±) terminal cable to battery.
3. Turn ignition switch ACC or ON.
Measure voltage LA terminal of harness side connector
of center airbag sensor assembly.
Voltage: Battery positive voltage.
Repair SRS warning light circuit.
5Does SRS warning light come on?
C
OK
P1. Disconnect negative (±) terminal cable from bat-tery.
2. Connect center airbag sensor assembly.
3. Connect negative (±) terminal cable to battery.
4. Turn ignition switch ACC or ON.
Check operation of SRS warning light.
SRS warning light comes on.
Check terminal LA of center airbag sensor assembly and
electrical connection check mechanism. If normal, re-
place center airbag sensor assembly.
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be\
considered normal. To
make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.
6Is new ECU±B fuse burnt out again?
Using simulation method, reproduce malfunction symp-
toms (See page RS±65).
Check harness between ECU±B fuse and SRS warning light, and ECU±B fuse a\
nd center airbag sensor
assembly.

DTC31Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The center airbag sensor assembly consists of center airbag sensor, safing sensors, ignition control and drive
circuit, diagnosis circuit, etc.
It receives signals from the airbag sensors, judges whether or not the SRS must be deploy, and diagnoses sys-
tem malfunction.
Diagnostic trouble code 31 is recorded when occurrence of a malfunction in the cen\
ter airbag assembly is de-
tected.
DTC No.Trouble Area
31Center airbag sensor assembly malfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
HINT: When a malfunction code other than code 31 is displayed at the same time, first repair the malfunction
indicated by the malfunction code other than code 31.
