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 (DOES NOT LIGHT
UP, WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED TO ON)
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 is 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.

5 INSPECT POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR ASSY LH (DRIVER SIDE)
(a) Inspect the power window regulator motor assy LH (Driver side) operation.
NOTICE:
Do not apply the battery voltage, because the pulse sensor and limit switch could be damaged
if the battery voltage is applied to terminals 2, 3 and 6 of the power window regulator motor con-
nector.
Be sure to reset the power window regulator motor (initial position setting of limit switch) when
the driver's side power window regulator motor is installed to the regulator.
(1) Check that the motor operates smoothly when the
battery positive voltage is applied to each terminal
of the connector.
Standard:
Measuring ConditionOperational Direction
Battery positive - Terminal 5
Battery negative - Terminal 4Clockwise
Battery positive - Terminal 4
Battery negative - Terminal 5Counterclockwise
(b) Inspect the PTC operation inside the power window regulator motor.
NOTICE:
The inspection should be performed with the power window regulator and door glass installed to the
vehicle.
(1) Set a DC 400 A probe of the electrical tester in the wire harness of terminal 4 or 5.
NOTICE:
Match the arrow mark of the probe with the current direction.
(2) Set the door glass in the fully closed position.
(3) When 60 seconds have elapsed after the door glass is fully closed, check now long the current
takes to charge, from approximately 16 - 34 A into 1 A or less, when the power window switch
is turned UP once again.
Standard: Approximately 4 - 90 seconds
(4) When approximately 60 seconds have elapsed after the inspection of the current cut-off, check
that the door glass goes down when the power window regulator switch is turned DOWN.

SYSTEM NORMAL CONDITION CHECK
(f) If the symptom is applicable to any of the following, it is intended behavior, and not a malfunction.
SymptomAnswer
A longer route than expected is chosen.Depending on the road conditions, the navigation ECU may determine that a longer
route is quicker.
Even when distance priority is high, the shortest route is not
shown.Some paths may not be advised due to safety concerns.
When the vehicle is put into motion immediately after the
engine starts, the navigation system deviates from the actu-
al position.If the vehicle starts before the navigation system activates, the system may not
react.
When running on certain types of roads, especially new
roads, the vehicle position deviates from the actual position.When the vehicle is driving on new roads not available on the map disc, the system
attempts to match it to another nearby road, causing the position mark to deviate.
(g) The following symptoms are not a malfunction, but are
caused by errors inherent in the GPS, gyro sensor, speed
sensor, and navigation ECU.
(1) The current position mark may be displayed on a
nearby parallel road the vehicle actually runs on.
(2) Immediately after a fork in the road, the current ve-
hicle position mark may be displayed on the wrong
road.
(3) When the vehicle turns right or left at an intersec-
tion, the current vehicle position mark may be dis-
played on a nearby parallel road.
