Driver's Switch:
The driver's switch is combined with the control unit so
you cannot isolate the switch to test it. Instead. run the
master switch input test procedures at terminals 41. A3,
44. A8 and Al2 on page 23-226. lf the tests are normal,
the driver's switch must be faulty.

l Remove the driver's door panel, and disconnect the 12P connector from the master switch.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause. then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the power window master switch must be faulty; replace it.

Description
)
The sRS is a safety device which, when used in coniunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver land
front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the sRS unit {including safing
sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag (and front passenger's airbag)

Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the inflator charge(s) lf
battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power clrcult
resoectivelv will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor must activate. and send electric signals to the mlcroprocessor'
(2) The microprocessor must compute the signals' and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s)'
{3) The inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s)'

Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator light comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally
lf the liglt does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormal-
ity in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunctlon, and the data link circuit passes on the infor-
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This intormation can be read with the Honda PGM Tesler con-
nected to the DLC (16P).
