6. SRS WARNING LIGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the accessory meter. It
goes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly self-diagno-
sis. In normal operation conditions when the ignition switch is
turned to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about 6
seconds and then goes off.
7. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control, drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag sen-
sor, front airbag sensor, side airbag sensor assembly and door
side airbag assembly and judges whether the SRS must be ac-
tivated or not. The airbag sensor assembly cannot be disas-
sembled.
8. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
The front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the side
members. The sensor unit is a mechanical type. When the sen-
sor detects deceleration force above a predetermined limit,
contact is made in the sensor, sending a signal to the airbag
sensor assembly. The front airbag sensor cannot be disas-
sembled.
9. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillars. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of a lat-
eral deceleration sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, etc.
It sends signals to the airbag sensor assembly to judge whether
the SRS side airbag must be activated or not. The side airbag
sensor assembly cannot be disassembled.
