SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM9J±3
System Description
The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module
(SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the SRS coil
assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the ªAIR
BAGª warning lamp in the instrument cluster. The SDM,
SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag
assembly, passenger air bag assembly and connector
wire make up the deployment loops. The function of the
deployment loops is to supply current through air bag
assembly, which will cause deployment of the air bags in
the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle. The air bagassemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy
when the SDM detects vehicle velocity changes severe
enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts
vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal. The
electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and
then compared to a value stored in memory. When the
generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will
cause current to flow through the air bag assembly
deploying the air bags.

RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM 9J1±10
Chart C ªAIR BAGº Warning Lamp Does Not Comes ªONº Steady
D09R200001
Circuit Description:
When the ignition switch is first turned ªONº, ªignition 1º
voltage is applied from the ªMA01º meter fuse to the ªAIR
BAGº warning lamp which is connected to ªSRS warning
lampº, terminal ª7º. The ªSRS±1º fuse apply system
voltage to the ªignition 1º inputs, terminals ª12º. The SDM
responds by flashing the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp seven
times. If ªignition 1º voltage is more than 16 volts, the
ªAIR BAGº warning lamp will be still ªOFFº solid with no
DTCs set.
Chart Test Description:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:1. This test decides whether power is available to SDM
warning lamp power feed circuit.
2. This test determines whether the voltage is present
in the warning lamp circuit.
3. This test determines if the malfunction is in the
instrument cluster.
4. This test checks for open in the warning lamp
circuitry.
5. This test isolates the IB04±GRN circuit and checks
for a short in the IB04±GRN circuit to B+.
8. This test checks for a short from the SDM warning
lamp power feed circuit to ground.
9. This test determines whether the short to ground is
due to a short in the wiring.
