The SRS is a safetv device which, when used in coniunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and
front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a cenain set limit. The system consists ot the SRS unit (including safing sen-
sor and imDact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag, and front passenger's airbag
Operation t'Its
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force ot impact and, il necessary, ignites the inflator charges. If bat-
tery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the back-up power circuii will keep voltage at a con-
stant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor and safing sensor must activate and send electric signals to lhe mictop.Goi
{2) The microprocessor must compute the signals and send signals to the airbag inflators'
(3) The inflators must ignite and deploy the airbags sE Lr.r

Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the sRs unit; when the ignition switch is turned oN (ll), the sRS indicator light comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally'
lf the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving. it indicates an abnormal-
ity in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible'
For better servicesbility. the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit passes on the infor-
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be read with the Honda PGM Tester con-
nected to the DLc (16P).

Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
. lf the green light on the tool comes on, the alr-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Specia I
Procedure.
. lfthe red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch The airbag
should deploy (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
. lf the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on, continue with this procedure
. lf an airbag doesn't deploy. yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
!!@ During deployment, the airbag c8n
become hot enough to burn you Wait thirtY min-
ut€s after d€ployment befote touching the assem-
blv.
Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be
reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag, and seal it
securery.
CAUTION:
. wear a lace shield and gloves when handling a
deployed airbag.
. Wash your hands and rinse them well with
water after handling a deployed sirbag
)
Deploying the Airbag: Out-ot-vehicle
NOTE: lf an intact airbag has been removed from a
scraDDed vehicle, or has been found defective or dam-
aged during transit, storage or service, it should be
deoloved as follows:
@@ Position th€ airbag laca up. outdoors on
tlat ground at l€ast thirty leet (10 m) ftom any obstacles
or people.
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly
by tollowing the check procedure on thls page or on
the tool lab€|.
2. Follow steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 ol the in.vehicle deploy'
ment orocedure.
Damaged Airbag Sp€citl Procedurc
!@ [ an airbag cannot be d.ploytd, h 3hoold
not be lreated as normal scrap; it should 3till b. corlrkl
ered a polentially sxplosive device that can clura tari
ous iniury.
1. lf installed in a vehicle, follow the removal proce-
dure on page 23-317.
2. ln all cases, make sure a short connector is properly
installed on the airbag connector.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging
that the new replacement part came In.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with
your Parts stock.
5. Contact your Acura District Technical lvanager for
how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Ch€ck Ptocedure
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector
handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery
2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is
OK; red means the tool is faultv.
3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips

Power Distribution Schematics
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and
Components." This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. lf
Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a
component in the other circuit. lf it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to
the inooerative circuil.

Circuit ldentification for In'Line and Fuse Box Connectors
tuse the chart (on page 204, sample below) to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate
circuits which could be caused by a single problem in a connect,oishared by those circuits'
Here's how that chart could help you find such a problem:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit'
2. Make a list of all in-lrne and fuse box connectors in that schematic (include page numbers).
3. Then, in the chart, look up each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other
symptoms run through one of them. lf they do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The horn, A,/C, and the right headlight don't work. List all in-line and fuse box
connectors in the horn circuit and then check the chart (sample below). You find that C211 is
common to the A,/C circuit and the headlight circuit, so you inspect c211 and find the problem:
bent terminals.
