SRS DRIVER/PASSENGER LOAD TOOL
The SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool J-41433 is used
only when called for in this section. It is used as a
diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent
inflator
module deployment.
The
load tool has four yellow connectors attached to its
case.
The three
small connectors are electrically functional
and serve as resistive
load substitutions. The large
dummy connector does not serve as a load substitution
but
merely takes the physical place of the DERM
connector when needed.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One
of the small connectors is used to substitute for the load
of the driver inflator module when it is connected at the
top of the
column to the SRS coil assembly. Another
small connector is used to substitute for the load of the
driver inflator
module and the SRS coil assembly when
it is connected at the base of the
column to the SRS
wiring harness. The third small connector is used to
substitute for the
load of the passenger inflator module
when connected to the passenger inflator module
harness connector.
By substituting the resistance of the
load tool when called
for, a determination can be made as to whether an
inflator circuit component is causing system malfunction
and which component is causing the malfunction. The
load tool should be used only when specifically called for
in the diagnostic procedures.

J 39200 DVM
The J 39200 DVM is the preferred DVM for use in SRS ~
diagnosis and repair. However, J 34029-A may be used
if
J 39200 is not available. No other DVMs are approved
for
SRS diagnosis and repair.
SCAN TOOL
The Tech 1 is used to read and clear SRS Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs). Refer to the Tech 1 Operator's
Manual for specific information on how to use the Tech
1.
Scan tools from other manufacturers may be used. Refer
to the Operator's Manual for the tool for specific
instructions.
J 35616-A CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTER
KIT
The J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit must be used
whenever a diagnostic procedure requests checking or
probing a
terminal. Using the appropriate adapter will
ensure that no damage to the terminal will occur from the
DVM prove, such as spreading or bending. The adapter
will also give an idea of whether contact tension is
sufficient,
helping to find an open or intermittent open due
to poor
terminal contact.

HOW TO USE THIS SECTION
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A
BATTERY-POWERED OR AC-POWERED
VOLTMETER, OHMMETR,ETC. ,OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A
NON-POWERED PROBE TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL
INJURY
MAY RESULT.
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to aid
in finding and repairing SRS problems.
Outlined below
are the steps to find and repair SRS
problems quickly
and effectively. Failure to carefully
follow these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect parts
replacement.
1. Perform the "SRS Diagnostic System Check". The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" should always be
the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The "SRS
Diagnostic System Check" checks for proper "AIR
BAG" indicator operation and checks for SRS trouble
codes using both "Flash Code" and "Scan Tool"
Methods.
2. Refer to the proper diagnostic chart as directed by
the
"SRS Diagnostic System Check". The "SRS
Diagnostic System Check" will lead you to the correct
chart to diagnose any
SRS problems. Bypassing
these procedures may
result in extended diagnostic
time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect parts
replacement.
3. Repeat the "SRS Diagnostic System Check" after
any repair
or diagnostic procedures have been
performed.Performing the
"SRS Diagnostic System
Check" after all repair or diagnostic procedures will
assure that the repair has been made correctly and
that no other conditions exist.
DIAGNOSTIC CODES
The Diagnostic Energy Reserve Module (DERM)
maintains a history record of all diagnostic codes that
have been detected since the
SRS codes were last
cleared
during service.
1. Current Codes -Faults that are presently detected
this ignition
cycle. Active and Cycle codes are stored
in RAM (Random Access Memory).
2. History
Codes-All faults detected since the last time
the history
fault memory was cleared. History codes
are stored in EEPROM (Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory )
HOW TO READ TROUBLE CODES
All codes (Active cycle and history) can be read (or
cleared) by using a Scan Tool (Portable Diagnostic Tool
[PDT)) or equivalent. If a PDT is not available, have the
vehicle serviced by a Saturn Dealer.
HOW TO CLEAR TROUBLE CODES
Trouble codes can only be cleared by using a Scan Tool.
If
a "Scan Tool" is not available, then inform the owner of
the stored codes and suggest that the codes are
cleared
upon the next visit to a ISUZU dealership.
SCAN TOOL DIAGNOSTICS
A Scan Tool can be used to read current and history
codes and to
clear all history codes after a repair is
complete. The scan tool must be updated to
communicate with the
SRS through a replaceable
cartridge or a manufacturer's update before it can be
used for
SRS diagnostics. To use the scan tool, connect
it to the ALDL connector and turn the ignition switch
"ON". Then follow the manufacturer's directions for
communication with the
SRS. The scan tool reads serial
data from the DERM "Serial Data" output (terminal A 11)
to the ALDL connector (terminal M) Via ISUZU
Convertible Connector (terminal 2).
BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Before using this section of the Service Manual, there is
some basic
knowledge which will be required. Without
this knowledge, you
will have trouble using the diagnostic
procedures
in this section. Use care to prevent harm or
unwanted
deployment. Read all cautions in the service
manual and on warning labels attached to SRS
components.
BASIC ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
You should understand the basic theory of electricity
including series and parallel circuits, and understand the
voltage drops across series resistors. You should know
the meaning of
voltage (volts), current (amps), and
resistance (ohms). You should understand what
happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. You
should be able to read and understand a wiring diagram.
"FLASH CODE" DIAGNOSTICS
"Flash Code" diagnostics are not implemented for SRS
diagnostic on TROOPER(UX)Vehicles.

INJURY
MAY RESULT.
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to find and repair
SRS malfunctions. To get the
best results, it is important to use the diagnostic charts
and
follow the sequence listed below:
A. PERFORM THE "SRS DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
CHECK."
The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the
starting point of any
SRS diagnostics. The "SRS
Diagnostic System Check" checks for proper "AIR
BAG"
warning lamp operation, the ability of the
DERM to communicate through the
"Serial Data" line
and whether SRS diagnostic trouble codes exist.
B. REFER TO THE PROPER DIAGNOSTIC CHART
AS
DIRECTED BY THE SRS DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM CHECK."
The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any
SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result
in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect
parts replacement.
C. REPEAT THE "SRS DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
CHECK" AFTER ANY REPAIR OR DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURES HAVE
BEEN PERFORMED.
Performing
the "SRS Diagnostic System Check"
after all repair or diagnostic procedures will ensure
that the repair has been made correctly and that no
other malfunctions exist.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is first turned "ON,""Ignition 1"
voltage is applied from the "C-22·C-23" fuse to the
DERM at the
"Ignition 1" input terminals "A9" and "A10"
and from the "C-21" fuse to the DERM at the "Redundant
Indicator Ignition 1" input terminal "B2". The DERM
responds by flashing the
"AIR BAG" warning lamp seven
times while performing tests on the
SRS.When the
engine is being cranked,
"Starter'' voltage is applied from
the
"C-1" fuse to the DERM at the "Crank" input terminal
"B10".The DERM responds by grounding the "SRS
Indicator"
output terminal "B 1" until "Starter" voltage is
removed from the "Crank" input. This results in the "AIR
BAG" warning lamp being "ON" steady during
cranking.After cranking, the DERM will flash the "AIR
BAG"
warning lamp six times and perform tests on the
SRS.
NOTES ON SYSTEM CHECK CHART ~
1. The "AIR BAG" warning lamp should flash seven
times after ignition is first turned
"ON."
2. The "AIR BAG" warning lamp should remain "ON"
steady during cranking.
3. When the "AIR BAG" warning lamp flashes four
times during
"Bulb Check" this indicates a
malfunction
in the redundant lamp driver circuitry.
These malfunctions are diagnosed by
DTC 62 chart.
4. After cranking, the "AIR BAG" warning lamp should
flash six times then go
"OFF."
5. Improper operation of the "AIR BAG" warning lamp
is indicated. This test differentiates a warning lamp
stays
"ON" condition from a warning lamp does not
come
"ON" condition.
6. This test checks for the proper operation of the
"Serial Data" line. This test will also determine
whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored
and, if so, identify them.
7. This test checks for proper operation of the
"Serial
Data"
line. This test will also identify the stored
diagnostic trouble codes and
whether they are
current or history.
~
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are
diagnosed is very important. Failure to diagnose the
diagnostic trouble codes in the order specified may result
in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and
incorrect parts replacement.
