PRE-CHECK
1. CHECK SRS WARING LIGHT
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON and check that the
SRS warning light lights up.
(b) Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx.
6 seconds.
HINT:
When the ignition switch is at ACC or ON and the SRS
warning light remains on or flashes, the airbag sensor as-
sembly has detected a malfunction code.
If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warn-
ing light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light
lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short in
the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely.
Proceed to ºSRS warning light system malfunctionº on
page DI-598, DI-600.
2. CHECK DTC (Using diagnosis check wire)
(a) Using diagnosis check wire, check the output of DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position and
wait approx. 20 seconds.
(2) Using SST, connect the terminals Tc and E
1 of the
DLC1.
HINT:
DTC check and troubleshooting of each DTC can also be done
using DLC2.
SST 09843-18020
NOTICE:
Never make a mistake with the terminal connection posi-
tion as this will cause a malfunction.

5. RELEASE METHOD OF AIRBAG ACTIVATION PREVENTION MECHANISM
An airbag activation prevention mechanism is built into the connecter for the squib circuit of the SRS.
When release of the airbag activation prevention mechanism is directed in the troubleshooting procedure,
as shown in the illustration of the connectors (1) and 839 below, insert paper which is the same thickness
as the male terminal, between the terminal and the short spring.
CAUTION:
NEVER RELEASE the airbag activation prevention mechanism on the steering wheel pad con-
nector.
NOTICE:
Do not release the airbag activation prevention mechanism unless specifically directed by the
troubleshooting procedure.
If the paper inserted is too thick the terminal and short spring may be damaged, so always use
paper the same thickness as the male terminal.

HINT:
When the SRS warning light remains lit up and the DTC is the normal code, this means a source voltage
drop.
This malfunction is not stored in memory by the airbag sensor assembly and if the power source volt-
age returns to normal, after approx. 10 seconds the SRS warning light will automatically go out.
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the codes will be displayed in numeral order starting from the
lowest numbered code.
If a code not listed on the chart is displayed, the airbag sensor assembly is faulty.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC 11 Short in Squib Circuit (to Ground)
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 11 is recorded a when ground short is detected in the squib circuit.
