When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than a predeter-
mined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A safing sen-
sor is designed to go on at a smaller deceleration rate than
the front and center airbag sensors. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which hap-
pens when a safing sensor and a front airbag sensor and/or
the center airbag sensor go on simultaneously. When a de-
celeration force acts on the sensors, two squibs in the driver
airbag and front passenger airbag ignite and generate gas.
The gas discharging into the driver and front passenger air-
bags rapidly increases the pressure inside the bags, break-
ing open the steering wheel pad and instrument panel door.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas is
discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or side. RS±8

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The ECM contains a built±in self±diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a Mal-
function Indicator Lamp on the instrument panel lights up.
By analyzing various signals as shown in a later table (See page
EG±388) the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects system mal-
functions relating to the sensors or actuators.
In the normal mode, the self±diagnosis system monitors 18
(California specification vehicles) or 17 (except for California and
Canadian specification) items, indicated by code No. as shown in
EG±388. A malfunction indicator lamp informs the driver that a
malfunction has been detected. The lamp goes off automatically
when the malfunction has been repaired, but the diagnostic
trouble code(s) remains stored in the ECM memory (except for
code Nos. 16 and 53). The ECM stores the code(s) until it is
cleared by removing the EFI No. 1 fuse with the ignition switch
OFF.
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the number of blinks
of the malfunction indicator lamp when TE1 and E1 terminals on
the data link connector 1 or 2 are connected. When 2 or more
codes are indicated, the lowest number (code) will appear first.
In the test mode, 12 (California specification vehicles) or 11 (ex-
cept for California and Canadian specification vehicles) items, in-
dicated by code No. as shown in EG±388 are monitored. If a mal-
function is detected in any one of the systems indicated by code
Nos. 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 35, 41, 71 and 78 (California
specification vehicles) or 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 35, 41, 71 and 78
(except for California and Canadian specification vehicles) the
ECM lights the malfunction indicator lamp to warn the technician
that a malfunction has been detected. In this case, TE2 and E1
terminals on the data link connector 2 should be connected as
shown later. (See page EG±386).
In the test mode, even if the malfunction is corrected, the malfunc-
tion code is stored in the ECM memory even when the ignition
switch OFF (except code Nos. 43 and 51). This also applies in the
normal mode. The diagnostic trouble mode (normal or test) and
the output of the malfunction indicator lamp can be selected by
connecting the TE1, TE2 and E1 terminals on the data link con-
nector 2, as shown later.
A test mode function has been added to the functions of the self±
diagnosis system of the normal mode for the purpose of detecting
malfunctions such as poor contact, which are difficult to detect in
the normal mode. This function fills up the self±diagnosis system.
The test mode can be implemented by the technician following the
appropriate procedures of check terminal connection and opera-
tion described later. (See page EG±386) EG±384
