Troubleshooting
Self-diagnostic Procedures
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it to locate the causes of system problems and to store this informa-
tion in memorv. For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via 8 dats link circuit.
o When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS indicator will come on. lf it goes off after six seconds, the system is
normat.
. lf there is 8n abnormality, the system locstes and defines the problem, stores this information in memory, and turns
th€ SRS indicator light on. The data will remain In the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off or if the bat-
terv is disconnected.
. When you connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P), and turn the ignition switch ON {ll),
the sRs indicator light will indicate the diagnostic trouble code (DTCI by th€ number of blinks.
. After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with the troubleshooting for this code
Pr6crution!
. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system, lf it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A)
or less when switched to the smallest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could damsge the
airbag circuit or cause sccidental airbag deployment and possible injury.

. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged (s6e psge 23-67). lf the battsry is dead or low, msasuring values won't be
correct,
a Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the SRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect the terminals
with a jumper wire. Use only the backprobe set and the SCS service connector.
For backprobing spring-loaded lock type connectors, refer to psge 23-283.
