NOTE:* 1: In case of an intermittent failure DTC 9-1, it means there was an internal failure of the SRS unit or a faulty SRS indica-
tor light circuit. Do the troubleshooting for intermittent failures (page 24-'15).*2: In case of an intermittent failure DTC 9-2, it means there was an internal failure of the power supply {VB line). Do the
troubleshooting for intermiftent failures.*3: DTC cannot be read with a Honda PGM Tester; check by jumping the SCS service connector.
