WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) The service personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
(2) When removing or installing the components indicated in the table of contents by an astarisk (*), use utmost care so
as not to apply any strong shock to SRS components.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are
indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

MUT-II is impossible.
Even if driver’s side door is opened, key hole
illumination lamp does not illuminate.254-7
While key hole illumination lamp is illuminated,
ignition key is turned to the ON position but key hole
illumination lamp does not switch off. (However, it
switch off after 10 seconds.)354-8
Key reminder warning

the ignition key is turned to the ON position but the
sound dose not stop. (However, it stops when the
driver’s side door is closed.)354-8
The key reminder warning buzzer dose not stop
sounding even if the key is removed. (However, it
stops when the driver’s side door is closed.)454-9
The key reminder warning buzzer does not sound
ever if the driver’s side door is opened while the key
is still inserted. (However, the ignition key should be
in the OFF position.)554-10
NOTE
If every input signal can not be checked with the MUT-II, a diagnosis circuit system failure is probably
the cause.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES
Code No. 11 Transponder communication systemProbable cause

The ID code of the transponder is not sent to the immobilizer-ECU immediately
after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

When starting the engine, one ignition key’s ID code interferes with another ignition
key’s code.
Radio interference of ID codes

Inspection Procedure 3
Engine does not start (cranking but no initial combustion).
Probable cause
If the fuel injectors are not operating, there might be a problem with the MPI system
in addition to a malfunction of the immobilizer system.
It is normal for this to occur if an attempt is made to start the engine using a key
that has not been properly registered.
