CAUTION: Whenever the ignition switch is ON (ll), or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to
bump the SRS unit; the airbag{sl could accidentally deploy and cause damage or iniuries
Try to reproduce lhe SRS indicator light:
1. Erase the DTC memory (see page 24'15).
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten seconds.
3- Turn the ignition switch ON {ll), and check that the SRS indi
cator light comes on for about six seconds and goes off

Circuit Schematics
oa
Each schematic represents one circult. A
circuit's wires and components are arranged
to show current flow, from power at the top of
the page, to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground
terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A
wire that connects one circuit to another, for
example, is cut short and has an arrowhead
at the end of it pointing in the direction of
current flow. Nelit to the anowhead is the
name o{ the circuil or comoonent which
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared
wiring, check the operation of a component it
serves. lf that component works, you know
the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and fuse box connectors are
numbered (C725, C416, etc.).
Component connectors are not numbered
but are identiJied by the name of the
component. lf a componenl has more than
one connector, each connector is assigned
a letter (A, B, C, etc.). Below most connector
numbers and comDonent names are
PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The PHOTO
number refers to a Dhoto in the back of the
book that shows lhe conneclor's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an
illustration in the back of the book that
shows the connector face, wire colors,
connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence
begins at the top left corner oJ the connector
as seen from either of the viewooints shown
on page ffl . Disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housino.
Wires
Wires are identilied by the abbreviated
names of their colors; the second color rs the
color of the stripe. Wires are also identified by
their location in a connector. The number '2"
next to the male and female wire terminals at
C416, for example, means those terminals
join in cavity 2 of connector C416.

Connector Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector
View section in the back of the book. Each view includes the color of the connector, where it
is located, and what it connects to.
Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity when you need to probe a
connector. lt can be especially helpful if the connector has more than one wire of the same
cotor.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits
which could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's
how:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit.
2. Make a list of all the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic (include page
numbers).
3. Then, in the Connector View section, look up each connector on your list to see il circuits
related to the other symptoms run through one of them. lf they do, inspect that connector
for the oroblem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all
in-line and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector
View section (sample below). You find that C324 is common to the rear window defogger
circuit and wiper/washer circuit, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

The cavities (and wire terminals) in each
connector are numbered starting from the
upper left, looking at the male terminals trom
the terminal side (or looking at the female
lerminals f rom the wire side. Both views are in
the same direction so the numbers are the
same.) All actual cavities are numbered, even
if they have no wire terminals in them.
