NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected, switch from Diagnosis mode to
user mode by turning the ignition switch as follows:
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) After ªAIR BAGº warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch ªOFFº within 1 second.
3) Wait more than 3 seconds.

Collision Diagnosis=NJRS0033FOR FRONTAL COLLISIONNJRS0033S07To repair the SRS, perform the following steps.
When SRS (except the side air bag) is activated in a collision:
1) Replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
2) Remove the air bag modules (except the side air bag module) and front seat belt pre-tensioner assem-
blies.
3) Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
+Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
4) Install new air bag modules (except the side air bag module) and front seat belt pre-tensioner assemblies.
5) Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or ªAIR BAGº warning lamp. Refer to ªSRS Operation Checkº
for details (RS-49). Ensure entire SRS operation properly.
When SRS is not activated in a collision:
1) Check the SRS components using the table shown below:
+Replace any SRS components showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks and deformation).
2) Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II or ªAIR BAGº warning lamp. Refer to ªSRS Operation Checkº
for details (RS-49). Ensure entire SRS operation properly.
