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. If the malfunctioning part can not be
detected by the simulation method, replace all SRS components including the wire harness.

DTC 12 Short in Squib Circuit (to B+)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The squib circuit consists of the airbag sensor assembly, spiral cable, steering wheel pad and front passen-
ger airbag assembly. It causes the SRS to deploy when the SRS deployment conditions are satisfied.
For details of the function of each component, see FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS on page RS-2.
DTC 12 is recorded when a B+ short is detected in the squib circuit.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
