Precautions
To perform system diagnosis, use self-diagnosis function and
CONSULT.
Do not use electrical test equipment such as a circuit tester
because
any wrong operation caused by a weak electric cur-
rent
of a tester must be prevented.

Preliminary Check
Check battery voltage and specific gravity.
When battery voltage drops to less than approx. 9V, the
"AIR BAG" warning lamp starts flashing (indicating a mal-
function).
Gj
Check the connections of component connectors.
Check that the fuse is not blown.

Trouble Diagnoses with CONSULT
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Connect CONSULT to data link connector on the vehicle.
Turn ignition switch "ON".
83
Touch "AIR BAG" on the CONSULT screen.
Touch an appropriate mode key on "SELECT DlAG MODE"
screen.
gL
The self-diagnostic result for the selected mode is displayed.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the
self-
diagnostic result.

Touch "PRINT, if printout is required.
After
repairing the malfunction, touch "SELF-DIAG
[CURRENT]", and after checking that "NO SELF DIAGNOSTIC
FAILURE INDICATED" is shown on the display, touch
"ERASE.
For seat belt pre-tensioner system, the diagnostic proce-
dure
is completed when "NO SELF DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE
INDICATED"
is displayed.

a The screens for "SELF-DIAG [CURRENTJ", "SELF-DIAG [PAST]" and "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" share the same message. Follow the repair procedures in numerical order. Check whether a malfunction is eliminated each time a repair item is
finished, and when the malfunction is eliminated, further repair work is not required.
After repairing the system, touch "ERASE" to clear the memory and check with CONSULT again.
If both seat belt pre-tensioner systems on the driver seat and passenger seat have failed at the same time, only one of
the two failures is displayed first. The other failure is displayed after the first failure is repaired. For seat belt pre-tensioner
systems,
only
"SELF-DIAG [CURRENTJ" is displayed; "SELF-DIAG
[PASTJ"
and "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" are not dis-
played.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS RECORD
If a malfunction has occurred but is not recorded on seif-diagnosis,
it may be caused by some past malfunction. In such a case, past
malfunctions can be found
by selecting "TROUBLE DlAG
RECORD" in Diagnosis mode.
The "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" can be selected for SRS air
bag system only.

SRS AIR BAG SYSTEM
Self-diagnosis
The diagnosis modes are User mode and Diagnosis mode.
Switching between the two modes is accomplished by using
ignition switch
and driver door switch.
When lamp is not flashing (indicating no malfunction) in User mode, operating the door switch cannot change
the mode to Diagnosis mode.
When no malfunction is detected in Diagnosis mode, turning the ignition switch from "OFF" to "ON" changes
the mode to User mode. SRB0395D

age (less than 9V), the display changes from flashing to nor-
mal operation when the battery voltage has returned to normal
(more than
9V).
