Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS uniU when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator comes onand goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally.
lf the indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds. or if il comes on while driving, it indicates anabnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the malfunction, and the unit isconnected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to thedata link connector (DLc) (see page 23-23).

NO Go to step 45.
45. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (8P) fromtheSRS
unit (see step 7 on page 23-221.
46. Connect the Honda PGM Tester {A) to the Data Link
Connector (B), and follow the Tester's prompts in

1. Place the new side airbag on the seat-back frame(A). Tighten the side airbag mounting nuts (B).
2. Installthe seat-back cover {see page 20-75).
3. Installthe seat assembly (see page 20-71), then
connect the side airbag harness 2P connector.
4. Move the front seat and the seat-back through their
full ranges of movement, making sure the harness
wires are not pinched or interfering with other parts.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
6. After installing the side airbag, confirm proper
system operation;Turn the ignition switch ON (ll);
the SRS indicator should come on for about 6
seconds and then go off.
