Check center airbag sensor assembly.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at
least 2 seconds.
(2) Clear malfunction code stored in memory. (See
page RS±47)
(3) turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at
least 20 seconds.
(4) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at
least 20 seconds.
(5) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC1
or DLC2.

Replace front passenger airbag assembly.
(1) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(2) Disconnect negative (±) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait at least 90 seconds.
(3) Connect front passenger airbag assembly con±
nector.
(4) Connect negative (±) terminal cable to battery, and
wait at least 2 seconds.
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.

SRS Warning Light System (Always lit up when ignition switch is in
Lock position.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the cluster finish panel.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the abnormality. When
terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC1 or DLC2 are connected, the diagnostic trouble code is displayed by the blinking
of the SRS warning light.
