SOURCE VOLTAGE DROP
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assy center
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.
A malfunction in this circuit is displayed differently from other codes. The source voltage drop is indicated
when the SRS warning light comes on without showing any DTCs.
A malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag sensor assy center. The SRS warning light automati-
cally goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.
DTC No.Diagnosis

SRS WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (ALWAYS LIGHT
UP, WHEN DTC IS NOT OUTPUT.)
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 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 CG of the DLC3 are connected, the DTC is displayed by blinking the SRS warning
light.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
(a) The tire pressure warning system informs the driver if it detects a low tire pressure. When the tire pres-
sure warning system detects low tire pressure in any of the 4 wheels, which affects safe driving the
tire pressure warning lamp comes on.
Specified Value
Front210 kpa (2.1 kgf/cm2, 30 psi)
Rear210 kpa (2.1 kgf/cm2, 30 psi)
(b) Tire pressure warning system is controlled by the skid control ECU.
HINT:
When the tire pressure reset switch is push, the tire pressure warning lamp goes off.
2. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING DISPLAY FUNCTION
(a) The tire pressure warning lamp comes on, according to
the condition of the tire pressure warning system, as
shown in the DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (see page 05-744).
