Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use
the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a
fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may
be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those
requiring thread locking compound will be called
out. The correct torque value must be used when
installing fasteners that require it. If the above
conditions are not followed, parts or system damage
could result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS REPAIRS.
The SDM in Driver–Passenger SRS can maintain
sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for up to 15
seconds after the ignition switch is turned “OFF,” the
battery is disconnected, or the fuse powering the SDM is
removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“C–21” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected from
the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling the SRS”
procedure that follows, service can begin immediately
without waiting for the 15 second time period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle’s wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove SRS fuse “C–21” from left dash side lower
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow 2–pin connector at the base of
steering column.
3 . R e m o v e g l o v e b o x a s s e m b l y ; R e f e r t o “ P a s s e n g e r a i r

connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: W i t h t h e “ C – 2 1 ” f u s e r e m o v e d a n d
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does not
indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow 2–pin connector passenger air bag
assembly.2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger Air
Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.
3. Connect yellow 2–pin connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “C–21” to left dash side lower
fuse block or connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR BAG”
warning lamp turn on 3.5 seconds and then turns “OFF.” If
it does not operate as described, perform the “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” in this section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 93
C (200F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SDM should not be used if they
have been dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the
arrow on the SDM pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. It is very important for the SDM to be located
flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SDM mounting
surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it, as
this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacements.
Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: C e r t a i n S R S c o m p o n e n t s m u s t b e

SRS Diagnostic System Check
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to find and repair SRS malfunctions. To get the
best results, it is important to use the diagnostic charts
and follow the sequence listed below:
A. Perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check.”
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” checks for proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation, the ability of the SDM
to communicate through the “Serial Data” line and
whether SRS diagnostic trouble codes exist.
B. Refer to the proper diagnostic chart as directed by the
“SRS Diagnostic System Check.”
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect
parts replacement.
C. Repeat the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” after any
repair or diagnostic procedures have been
preformed.
Performing the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” after
all repair or diagnostic procedures will ensure that the
repair has been made correctly and that no other
malfunctions exist
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1”
voltage is applied from the “C–21” fuse to the SDM at the
“Ignition 1” input terminals “12”. The SDM responds by
flashing the “AIR BAG” warning lamp turn on 3.5 seconds,
while performing tests on the SRS.
Notes On System Check Chart:
1. The “AIR BAG” warning lamp should turn on 3.5
seconds after ignition is first turned “ON”.
2. After the “AIR BAG” warning lamp turn on 3.5
seconds, it should turn “OFF”
3. This test checks for the proper operation of the
“Serial Data” line. This test will also determine
whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored
and, if so, identify them.
4. Improper operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
is indicated. This test differentiates a warning lamp
stays “ON” condition from a warning lamp does not
come “ON” condition.
5. This test checks for proper operation of the “Serial
Data” line. This test will also identify the stored
diagnostic trouble codes and whether they are
current or history.
