Precautions/Procedures
Spring-loaded Lock Connectors
Some SRS system connectors have a spring-loaded lock.
Disconnecting
To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve toward
the stop while holding the opposite halt of the connector.
Then pull the connector halves apart. Be sure to pull on
the sleeve and not on the connector half.
SPRING-LOADEDSLEEVE
Connecting
1. Hold the pawl-side connector hall and press on the
back of the sleeve-side connector half in the direction
shown. As the two connector halves are Dressed
together, the sleeve is pushed back by the pawl. Do
not touch the sleeve.
When the connec-tor halves are completely connected,
the pawl is released. and the spring-loaded sleeve
locks the connector.

Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock
Connectors
. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the first time, it is necessary to remove the
retainer to insert the tester probe from the wire side.
It is not necessary to reinstall the removed retainer;
the terminals will stay locked in the connector hous-
inq.
To remove the retainer, insert a tlat-tip screwdriver
between the connector body and the retainer. then
carefully pry out the retainer. Take care not to break
the connector.
RETAINER*Discard after removal.

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 memory, For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit.
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll). the SRS indicator will come on. lf it goes off after six seconds, the system is
normal.
. lf there is 8n abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem. stores this information in memory, and turns
the 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 (DTC) by the number of blinks.
. After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with the troubleshooting forthis code.
Precsutions
. 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 damage the
airbag circuit or cause accidental airbag deployment and possible injury.
. Whenever the ignition switch isON (ll). or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful nottobumpthe
SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
. Before you remove the SRS main harness, disconnect the airbag and tensioner connectors (see page 24-23).
. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged (see section 23). lf the battery is dead or low, measuring values won't be
correct.
. 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 con nectors, .efet to page 24-22.
Reading the DTC
When the SRS indicator light is on, read the DTC using one of these methods;
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector {DLC), and follow the tester's prompts. lf the tester
indicates no DTC, DTC 9-1 and DTC 9-2, double-check by jumping the service check connector (2P) and watching the
SRS indicator light (see next page).
