Description

'\' '\, ili \.-.-1 i^\\,,; i \
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).

Component Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
Component Location section in the back of the book. The photo will also tell you the color of
the connector. and how manv cavities it has.

lf there is no photo number below or beside a connector, ground, or terminal number, look up
that connector, ground, or terminal number in the appropriate Connector ldentification Chart.
The chart will tell you the color of a connector, how many cavities it has, where it's located,
and what component or harness it connects to. On the page opposite that chart you'll find an
illustration of the related harness.

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.
