*: Vehicles with front passenger’s air bag
6. SRS components should not be subjected to hear over 93C, so remove the SRS-ECU, air bag
module and clock spring before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
7. Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly. (Refer to P.52B-14.)
8. Make certain that the ignition switch is LOCK (OFF) position when the MUT-II is connected or
disconnected.
9. If you have any questions about the SRS, please contact your local distributor.
NOTE
SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT FROM UNINTENDED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, SO USE ONLY
THE PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.

displayed, check the battery.
SRS – Troubleshooting52B-8
Code No.21, 22, 61 or 62 Driver’s side air bag module
(squib) systemProbable cause
These diagnosis codes are output if there is abnormal resistance between the input
terminals of the driver’s side air bag module (squib).
The trouble causes for each diagnosis code No. are as follows.Malfunction of clock spring
Partial disconnection due to incorrect clock spring
neutral position
Malfunction of wiring harnesses or connectors
Malfunction of driver’s side air bag module (squib)
Malfunction of SRS-ECU
Code No.Trouble symptom
21Short in driver’s side air bag module (squib) or harness short
Short in clock spring
Malfunction of connector*
22Open circuit in driver’s side air bag module (squib) or open harness
Open circuit in clock spring
Malfunction of connector contact
61Short in driver’s side air bag module (squib) harness leading to the power supply
62Short in driver’s side air bag module (squib) harness leading to the earth
NOTE
*: The connector in the squib circuit has a built-in short bar which short-circuits between plus (+) lead and minus
(–) lead of the squib circuit when the connector is not being connected to prevent an accidental air bag deployment
possibly caused by static electricity, etc. Therefore, malfunction of the connector can also be caused by this
short bar which fails to be released even when the connector is reconnected if it is damaged.

Code No.35 SRS-ECU (deployed air bag) systemProbable cause
This diagnosis code is output after the air bag deploys. If this code is output before
the air bag has deployed, the cause is probably a malfunction inside the SRS-ECU.Malfunction of SRS-ECU
Replace the SRS-ECU.
Code No.41 IG1 (A) power circuit systemProbable cause
This diagnosis code is output if the voltage between the IG1 (A) terminal and the
earth is lower than the specified value for a continuous period of 5 seconds or more.
However, if the vehicle condition returns to normal, diagnosis code No.41 will be
automatically erased, and the SRS warning lamp will switch off.Malfunction of wiring harnesses or connectors

SRS – SRS Maintenance52B-16
SRS COMPONENT VISUAL CHECK
Turn the ignition key to the LOCK (OFF) position, disconnect
the negative battery cable and tape the terminal.
Caution
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cable before doing any further work. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
SRS CONTROL UNIT (SRS-ECU)
1. Check SRS-ECU case and brackets for dents, cracks,
deformation or rust.
Caution
The SRS may not activate if the SRS-ECU is not
installed properly, which could result in serious injury
or death to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
2. Check connector for damage, and terminals for
deformation or rust.
Replace SRS-ECU if it fails visual check.
(Refer to P.52B-24.)
AIR BAG MODULES, STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCK
SPRING
1. Remove the air bag modules, steering wheel and clock
spring. (Refer to P.52B-25.)
Caution
The removed air bag modules should be stored in
a clean, dry place with the pad cover face up.
2. Check pad cover for dents, cracks or deformation.

SRS – SRS Maintenance52B-17
3. Check connector for damage, terminals deformities, and
harness for binds.
4. Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals
for deformation.
6. Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformation.
7. Visually check the clock spring case for damage.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring and, after
turning the vehicle’s front wheels to straight-ahead
position, install the clock spring to the column switch.
Mating Mark Alignment
Turn the clock spring clockwise fully, and then turn back
it approx. 3 4/5 turns counterclockwise to align the mating
marks.
Caution
If the clock spring’s mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be completely
rotational during a turn, or the flat cable within the
clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal
operation of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and
the air bag module.
10. Check steering wheel for noise, binds of difficult operation.
11. Check steering wheel for excessive free play.
REPLACE ANY VISUALLY INSPECTED PART IF IT
FAILS THAT INSPECTION. (Refer to P.52B-25.)
Caution
The SRS may not activate if any of the above
components is not installed properly, which could
result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s driver
or front passenger.
