Five-step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to
verify the customer complaint. Note the symptoms.
Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have
narrowed down the Droblem area.
2. Analyze The Schomatic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. De-
termine how the circuit is supposed to work by trac-
ing the current paths from the power leed through
the circuit components to ground. It severalcircuits
fail at the same time, the luse or ground is a likely
cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of
the circuit operation, identity one or more possible
causes of the Droblem.
3. lsolato The Problom By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made
in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple proce-
dure is the key to etticient troubleshooting. Test for
the most likely cause of failure first. T.y to make
tests at points that are easilv accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specilic problem is identified, make therepair. Be sure to use proper tools and safeproceoures.
5. Mak6 Suro The Circuit Wolks
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in allmodes to make sure you've fixed the entire problem.
It the problem was a blown Juse, be sure to test allof the circuits on thst tuse. Make sure no newproblems turn up and the original problem does not
recuf.

General Precautions
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.Do not install any part that shows signs of beingdropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracksor deformation:
- Airbag assembly {driver's and front passenger's)
Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. lt has noserviceable parts. Once an airbag has been operated(deployed), it cannot be repaired or reuseo.
For temporary storage of the airbag assembly duringservice, please observe the following precautions:
. Store the removed airbag assembly with the pad sur-face up.
!@ It the airbag is impropsrty stored facsdown, accidental deployment could propel the unit withenough force to cause setious iniury
Store the removed airbag assembly on a secure flatsufface away from any high heat source (exceeding
212"Fl1OO'Cl and free of any oil. grease, detergent or
CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can internallydamage the airbag assembly, making it inoperativ€.ll you suspect the airbag assembly has been damagod,install a new unit and rgler to the Deployment/DigposalProcedures lor disposing of the dsmaged airbag.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lfit's not a Honda multimeter make sure its output is 10mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallestvalue in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higheroutput could damage the airbag circuit or cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not install used SRS parts from another car. Whenmaking SRS repai.s, use only new pans.
Except when performing electrical inspections,always disconnect both the negative cable and posi-
tive cable at the battery before beginning work.

Wiring Precautions
o Never attempt to modify. splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered
with yellow insulation.
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are
not pinched or interfering with other car pans.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
