2 Prepare for inspection (See step 1 on page DI±629).
3 Check SRS warning light circuit.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the airbag sensor assembly connector.
(b) Connect negative (±) terminal cable to the battery.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
CHECK:

Driver Buckle Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the buckle switch of the driver's seat is ON with the ignition switch ON, the body ECU sends a signal
to make the seat belt warning light for the driver's seat light up and to sound a buzzer.
When the buckle switch of the passenger seat is ON and the passenger seat belt occupant detecting sensor
is ON with the ignition switch ON, the body ECU sends a signal to make the seat belt warning light for the
passenger seat light up.
