(1) Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
(2) The Multi-use Tester display section successfully passes
the self-check and the model selection menu is displayed
after completing the self-check of the Multi-use Tester,
select 3000GT 91 MDL [No. 3 (Non-Turbo) or No. 4 (Turbo)]
and SRS-AIR BAG system by entering the “YES” key.
(3) If the Multi-use Tester displays “CAN’T COMM.“, check
the Multi-use Tester and vehicle side self-check diagnosis
connector for poor connections (Refer to
P.52B-17.) and
perform
ITEST 4 1.If the 3000GT 91 MDL SRS-AIR BAG svstem selection is
successful, continue with following steps.
(4) Select the “1. SELF-DIAG CODE” function and read (and
write down) all displayed diagnosis codes.
(5) Check diagnosis codes against SELF-DIAGNOSIS QUICK
REFERENCE CHART and perform service indicated there.

Normal. The SRS is in goodorder.
The circuits for the front impact sensor are shortedto each other.
Right or left impact sensor cirucit is open or the
wire from the sensor to the SDU is open-circuit.
Right and left impact sensor circuits are open or thewires from the sensors to the SDU areopen-circuit.
The circuits for the air bag module (squib) are
shorted to each other or the circuit isgrounded.
The air bag module Isquib) circuit is open or the wire
from the air bag to the SDU (clock spring) is open-circuit.
The capacitor (integrated in the
SDU) terminal voltage
is higher than the specified value for 5 seconds.
The capacitor (integrated in the
SDU) terminal voltage
is lower than the specified value for 5 seconds.
The circuit for the cranking signal is shorted to
some power supply circuits.
It takes at least 45 seconds that the SDU detects
this fault.
The lock switch (short bar) of the SDU double lockconnector isopen.Service

(1) Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position, disconnect
the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
Caution
Wait at least 30 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cable before doing any further work. The SRS system is
designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bagfor a short time even after the battery has been
disconnected, so serious injury may result from unin-
tended air bag deployment if work is done on the SRSsystem immediately after the battery cable is discon-
nected.(2) Remove the rear console assembly. (Refer to GROUP 52A

(3) Use a screwdriver to push in the lock spring of the lock
lever of the SRS diagnosis unit to unlock the lock lever.
