4 Check P squib.
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Disconnect negative (-) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least 90 seconds.
(c) Connect front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect negative (-) terminal cable to battery, and wait
at least 2 seconds.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(b) Clear malfunction code stored in memory (See page
DI-148).
(c) Turn ignition switch to LOCK, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(d) Turn ignition switch to ACC or ON, and wait at least 20 se-
conds.
(e) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(f) Check DTC.
OK:
DTC 54 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than code 54 may be output at this time, but they
are not relevant to this check.
NG Replace front passenger airbag assembly.
OK
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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Preparation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect negative (-) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least 90 seconds.
(b) Remove steering wheel pad (See page SR-13).
(c) Disconnect connector of front passenger airbag assem-
bly (See page RS-21).
(d) Disconnect connector of airbag sensor assembly
(See page RS-33).
CAUTION:
Store the steering wheel pad with the front surface facing
upward.
2 Check source voltage.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect negative (-) terminal cable to battery.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage at IG2 or ACC on sensor and operate electric
system. (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc.)
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14 V
NG Check the harness between battery and airbag
sensor assembly, check the battery and charg-
ing system.
OK

3 Does SRS warning light turn off?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect steering wheel pad connector.
(c) Connect front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect airbag sensor assembly connector.
(e) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Operate electric system checked in defogger, wiper, headlight,
heater blower, etc. and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, perform trou-
bleshooting for the DTC. If a normal code is out-
put, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
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 Malfunction (Always lit up when igni-
tion switch is in LOCK position.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the 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 E1 of the DLC1 are connected, the DTC is displayed by the blinking of the SRS warn-
ing light.
