1995 TOYOTA SUPRA sensor

CONNECTORS
Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
Inspection of connectors
(a) Does the wire harness connecting with its corresponding
part have insufficient slack?
(b) Are the terminals dirty?
(c) Are the terminals making loose contact due to terminals
spread?
WIRE HARNESS
Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
Thoroughly check the connector joint, the fulcrum of the
vibration and the wiring opening in the engine/passenger
compartment panel.
PARTS AND SENSORS
Gently tap the part or sensor considered to be the problem
caused and check if the malfunction will occur.
CAUTION: Do not apply vibration to the center airbag
sensor assembly.
VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be the major cause.
SYMPTOM SIMULATION
ªIntermittent troubles or problemsº are the malfunctions about which the customer has a complaint, but which
do not occur and cannot be confirmed in the workshop. The intermittent problems also include complaints about
the SRS warning light going on and off erratically.
The self±diagnostic system stores the circuit of the intermittent problem in memory even if the ignition switch
is turned off.
For accurate diagnosis of the problems, ask the customer to obtain as much information as possible following
the customer problem analysis check sheet (See page RS±43) and try to reproduce the intermittent problem.
The problem simulation methods described below are the effective ways to reproduce the problem conditions
by applying vibration, heat, and humidity. RS±48

HINT:
*1 When the SRS warning light remains lit up and the diagnostic trouble code is the normal code, this means
a source voltage drop.
*
2 Code 22 is recorded when a malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system.
If an open malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system, the SRS warning light does not light up, so
that until the malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic trouble codes (including code 22) cannot be confirmed.

Always lit up, when ignition
switch is in LOCK position.

With the ignition switch at ACC or ON, the SRS warning light
sometimes lights up after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed.

SRS warning light is always lit up even when ignition switch
is in the LOCK position.

Diagnostic trouble code not displayed.

SRS warning light is always lit up with the DTC check procedure.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC (Normal) Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage±increase circuit (DC±DC converter) in the center airbag sensor assembly
in case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage±increase circuit (DC±DC converter) functions to increase the volt-
age of the SRS to normal voltage.
The diagnostic system malfunction display for this circuit is different to other circuits±when the SRS warning light
remains lit up and the diagnostic trouble code is a normal code, voltage source drop is indicated.
Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the center airbag sensor assembly, and the voltage source returns
to normal, after approx. 10 seconds the SRS warning light automatically goes off.
 DTC No. Diagnosis

INSPECTION PROCEDURES [P] Preparation [C] Check
(1) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(2) Disconnect center airbag sensor assembly con±
nector.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON. But do not start engine.
(4) Measure voltage at IG

wire harness side of center airbag sensor as±
sembly and operate electric system (defogger,
wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc.).
Voltage: 6 V Ð 11.5 V at IG

(7) Remove voltmeter and connect center sensor
assembly connector.
Preparation.
Does SRS warning light turn off?
Turn ignition switch ON.
Operate electric system checked in [1] (4) and
check that SRA warning light goes off.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Check battery and charging system.
(See charging system section)
Check diagnostic trouble code, and if a malfunc-
tion code is output, perform troubleshooting ac-
cording to malfunction code. If a normal code is
output, replace center airbag sensor assembly.

DTC 11 Short in Squib Circuit or Front Airbag Sensor Circuit (to
Ground)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The squib circuit consists of the center airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable, steering wheel pad and front pas-
senger airbag assembly. It causes the SRS to deploy when the SRS deployment conditions are satisfied.
The front airbag sensor detects the deceleration force in a frontal collision and is located in the front fender on
the left and right sides.
For details of the function of each component see FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS on page RS±4.
Diagnostic trouble code 11 is recorded when ground short is detected in the squib circuit or front airbag sensor
circuit.
