bump the SRS unit; the airbag{sl could accidentally deploy and cause damage or iniuries
Try to reproduce lhe SRS indicator light:
1. Erase the DTC memory (see page 24'15).
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten seconds.
3- Turn the ignition switch ON {ll), and check that the SRS indi
cator light comes on for about six seconds and goes off
Does the SRS indicEtor light stay on?
[*NO
