SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM {SRSI
The Integra SRS includes a driver's airbag. located in the steering wheel hub, In addition, all models except the
RS model for Canada have a front passenger's airbag located in the dashboard above the glove box. Information
necessarv to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. ltems marked with an asterisk {') on the
contents page include, or are located near, SRS components. Servicing. disassembling or replacing these items
will require special precautions and tools, and should therefore be done by an authorized Acura dealer.
a To avoid rsndering ths SRS inoporative, which could load to po.sonal iniury 01 d€ath in th€ event ot a ssvare
lrontal collision, all SRS service work muat be performod by an authorizod Acura deal6t.
a lmploper service procodules. including incorloct romoval and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal iniu-
ry caused by unintontional activation ot the airbags.
a All SRS elsctdcal wiring harnesses ara covorod with ysllow insulation. Rolalod compon€nts 8re locatsd in tho
stse ng column, tront console, dashboard, and dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove
box. Do not use oloctrical tost equipmoni on thosa cilcuits.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded thett protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
- disconnecting the battery.- removing the No. 32 (7.5 A) tuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- removing the radio.
Alter service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed' enter the cus-
tomer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.

Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubloshooting
a Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
DOX.
a Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.a Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
a Do not quick-charg€ a battery unless the batteryground cabla has be€n disconnoctsd. oth€rwisoyou will damage the alternator diodss.a Do not att6mpt to crank the engine with the bat-tery ground cable loosely connectsd or you will se-vorsly damag€ tho widng.
a The original radio has a codod thatt plotection ci.-cuit. Be sul€ to got tho customor's code numbet
before- disconnecting th€ battery.- lomoving tho No. 32 (7.5 Al tuso f.om the
under-hood tuse/lelay box.- removing tho radio.
Aflor s€lvic€. reconn€ct powet to tho radio and
turn it on. Whon the word "CODE" is displayed,
€nt€l the customer'E s-digit codo to .astore ladio
operation.
Handling Connectors
a Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
a Make sure multiple cavity connectots are packed withgrease (except watertight connectors).a All connectors have push-down release type locks.
LOCKII{G TAA
LOCKING TAB
a Some connectors have a clio on their side used to at-
tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
a Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its bracket.

a Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on thei.
wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
a Always reinstall plastic covers.
Belore connecting connectors, make sure the lermi-
nals are in Dlace and not bent.
a Check tor loose retainer and rubber seals.
RETAINER
a The backs of some connectors are oacked with
grease. Add grease if needed. It the grease is contami-
nated, reDlace it.

Startel Test
NOTE: The air temDerature must be between 59 8nd
10OoF (15 and 38oC) before testing.
Recommendsd Procodure:
a Use a staner svstem tester.
a Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manutacturer's instructions.
a Test and troubleshoot as described.
Altohato Procedure:
a Use the following equipment:- Ammeter. 0-4OO A- Voltmeter, O- 20 V {accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, O- 120O rpm
a Hook up voltmeter and ammeter as shown'
NEGATIVE TERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair,
reset the ECM to clear any codes (see section 1 1)

Chock Stan€r Engag6ment:
1. Disconnect the 2-P connector (ignition coil primary
lead) from the distributor.
Press the clutch pedal allthe way in (M/T), and turn
the ignition switch to "Start". The starter should
crank the engine.
NOTE: On cars equipped with manual transmission,
the engine will not crank unless the clutch pedal is
fully depressed.
lf the staner does not crank the engine go to step 3.
Check the baftery, battery positive cable, ground,
and the wire connections for looseness and cor-
rosion,
Test again. lf the starter still does not crank the en-
gine, go to step 4.
Bvpass the ignition switch citcuit as follows {make
sure the transmission is in neutral):
Unplug the connector (BLK/WHT wire and solenoid
terminsl) trom the starter. Then connect a jumper
wire from the battery positive ( + ) terminal to the
solenoid terminal. The starter should crank the
engrne.
a lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
replace it and diagnose its internal problems.
a lf the starter cranks the engine, go to step 5.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRSI
Troubleshooting
Self-diagnosis Function
The SRS unit includes a self-diagnosis function. lf there
is a failure in the sensors. SRS unit, inflator, or their cir-
cuits, the SRS indicator light in the gauge sssembly
comes ON.
As a system check, the SRS indicator light also comes
on when the ignition is first turned ON to the (ll) posi-
tion. lf the light goes off after approximately six sec-
onds, the system is OK.
lf the SRS indicator lighr remains on (or fails to come on
in the system check mode), one of the SRS components
(or the wiring/connectors inbetween) is laulty
Troubleshooting Precautions
a Always use the test harness. Do not use test probes
directly on component connector terminals or wires;
you may damage them or the SRS unit.
a When connecting any of the test harnesses to the
system, push the connectors straight-in; do not bend
the connector terminals,
. Before disconnecting any part of the SRS wire har-
ness, connect the shon connector (RED) on the driv-
er's airbag. On cars equipped with a front passen-
ger's airbag, connect short connectors on the driver's
airbag and the front passenger's airbag.
SRS Indicator Light Troubleshooting
Possiblo conditions:
1. SRS indicator light does not come on at all - see
page 23-278.
2. SRS indicator light stays on constantly - see page
23-242.
3. SRS indicator light comes on in combination with a
failure of another electrical system (charging sys-
tem light). Check for damage/corrosion at the
under-dash tuse/relay box connector.
NOTE:
. Before starting the applicable troubleshooting. check
the condition of all SRS connectors and ground
points.
. lf the fault is not found after completing the applica-
ble troubleshooting, substitute a known-good SRS
unit and check whether the indicator light goes off.

SRS Indicator Light Stays on Continuously
NOTE: Before troubleshooting, make sure that battery
voltage is 12 V or mo.e. Otherwise you'll obtain wrong
test readings.
1. Make a photocopy of the chart on page 23-283,
2. Connect Test Harness A to the SRS unit as shown.
Tu.n the ignition switch ON (lll.
. Voltages in the chart assume the car's "battery
voltage" is about 12 volts. Less than 12 volts will
result in different or possibly talse readings.
. Do not disconnect the airbags ftom the circuit
when checking SRS unit voltages.
First, check for voltage between Test Harnoss
Terminal No. 12 (+) and ground (-).
. lf no voltage is indicated, go to step I and contin-
ue checking all the other terminals.
o lf vottsge is indicated, there is a poor ground at
the SRS unit. Read the following NOTE, and then
go on to step 5.

before disconnecting the battery cables.
Before disconnecting any pan of the SRS wire har-
ness, connect the short connecto(s) {RED) to the
airbag(s) (see page 23-2721.
Connect Test Harness B between the SRS unit and

body ground, and the Bl5 terminal and body
ground.

lf there is continuity at either terminal, the SRS
unit is faulty. Replace it and check the voltages
according to the chan on page 23-283.
lf there is no continuity at either terminal, the
SRS unit ground, the SRS unit component
grounds or the SRS main harness is faulty
Check the grounds (check wire and control unit
mounting bolts) and, if necessary, replace th€
SRS main harness. Then check the voltages
