*1: In case of an intermittent failure DTC 9-1, it means there was an internal failure of the SRS unit or a faultv SRS indica-tor light circuit. Do the troubleshooting for intermittent failures {see page 24-28),*2: DTC cannot be read with a Honda PGM Tester; check by jumping the SCS service connector.
NOTE: Before troubleshooting DTCS 5-1 through 8-5, check battery/system voltage. lf voltage is low. repair the chargingsystem before troubleshooting the SRS system.
