1.Remove the driver's kick panel.
Disconnect the 18P connector from the control unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contacl.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make rhe following input tests at the connector.
- lf anv test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck ihe system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it

Wiring Precautions
. Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring'
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow
outer Protective covering.
8e sure to install the harness wires so that they are not
oinched or interfering with other parts.
t
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.

. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the flrst time, it is necessary to remove lne
retainer to insert tester probes from the wire side.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to reinstall the removed
retainer; the terminals wi I stay locked in the connec-
tor housrng.
To remove the retainer, insert a flat tip screwdriver
between connector body and retainer, and carefully
pry out the retainer.
NOTE: Take care not to break the connector.
