DTC Normal Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assembly in
case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the
voltage of the SRS to normal voltage.
The diagnosis system malfunction display for this circuit is different from other circuits that is when the SRS
warning light remains lit up and the DTC is a normal code, source voltage drop is indicated.
Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag sensor assembly, and the source voltage returns to
normal, the SRS warning light automatically goes off.
DTC No.Diagnosis

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Prepare for inspection.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect negative (-) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least for 90 seconds.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR-12).
(c) Disconnect the connector of the front passenger airbag
assembly (See page RS-28).
(d) Disconnect the connector of the side airbag assembly RH
and LH (See page RS-42 and RS-56).
(e) Disconnect the connector of the seat belt pretensioner
RH and LH (See page BO-128).
(f) Disconnect the connectors of the airbag sensor assembly
(See page RS-63 and RS-68).
(g) Disconnect the connector of the front airbag sensor RH
and LH (See page RS-73).
(h) Disconnect the connector of the side airbag sensor as-
sembly RH and LH (See page RS-78).
CAUTION:
Store the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag as-
sembly and side airbag assemlby with the front surface
facing upward.

2 Check source voltage.
PREPARATION:
Connect negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure the voltage between body ground and each of
IG2 and ACC on the sensor and operate electric system
(defogger, wiper, headlight, heater blower, etc.).
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14 V
NG Check harness between battery and airbag sen-
sor assembly, and check battery and charging
system.
OK
3 Does SRS warning light turn off?
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(b) Connect the steering wheel pad connector.
(c) Connect the front passenger airbag assembly connector.
(d) Connect the side airbag assembly connectors.
(e) Connect the seat belt pretensioner connectors.
(f) Connect the airbag sensor assembly connectors.
(g) Connect the front airbag sensor connectors.
(h) Connect the side airbag sensor assembly connectors.
(i) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
CHECK:
Operate electric system (defogger, wiper, headlight, heater
blower, etc.) and check that SRS warning light goes off.
NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, perform trou-
bleshooting for the DTC. If a normal code is out-
put, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES
From the results of the above inspection, the malfunctioning part can now be considered normal.
To make sure of this, use the simulation method to check.

SRS Warning Light Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 are connected, the DTC is displayed by blinking the SRS warning
light.
