5-8840-2421-0 SRS Driver/Passenger Load
Tool
901RS146
The SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool 5-8840-2421-0
is used only when called for in this section. It is used
as a diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent
inadvertent air bag assembly deployment.
The load tool has three yellow connectors attached to
its case.
The three small connectors are electrically functional
and serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of the small connectors is used to substitute for
the load of the driver air bag assembly when it is
connected at the top of the column to the SRS coil
assembly. Another small connector is used to
substitute for the load of the driver air bag assembly
and the SRS coil assembly when it is connected at the
base of the column to the SRS wiring harness. The
third small connector is used to substitute for the load
of the passenger air bag assembly when connected to
the passenger air bag assembly harness connector.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when
called for, a determination can be made as to whether
an inflator circuit component is causing system
malfunction and which component is causing the
malfunction. The load tool should be used only when
specifically called for in the diagnostic procedures.

5-8840-0285-0 DVM
901RS163
The 5-8840-0285-0 DVM is the preferred DVM for use
in SRS diagnosis and repair. However, 5-8840-0366-
0 may be used if 5-8840-0285-0 is not available. No
other DVMs are approved for SRS diagnosis and
repair.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.

CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.

RESTRAINT CONTROL 9A1-3

Diagnostic Information
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced,
use the correct part number fastener for that
application. if the correct part number fastener is
not available, a fastener of equal size and strength
(or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not
reused, and those requiring thread locking
compound will be called out. the correct torque
value must be used when installing fasteners that
require it. if the above conditions are not followed,
parts or system damage could result.


Diagnostic Procedures
WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A
BATTERY-POWERED OR AC-POWERED
VOLTMETER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON
POWERED, PROBE-TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY RESULT.
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to aid in finding and repairing SRS problems.
Outlined below are the steps to find and repair SRS
problems quickly and effectively. Failure to carefully
follow these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect parts
replacement.
1. Perform The “SRS Diagnostic System Check”.
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” should always
be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
“SRS Diagnostic System Check” checks for prope
r
“AIR BAG” warning lamp operation and checks for
SRS trouble codes using both “Flash Code” and
“Scan Tool” Methods.
2. Refer To The Proper Diagnostic Chart As
Directed By The “SRS Diagnostic System
Check”.
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS problems.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect
parts replacement.

3. Repeat The “SRS Diagnostic System Check”
After Any Repair Or Diagnostic Procedures Have
Been Performed.
Preforming the “SRS Diagnostic System Check”
after all repair or diagnostic procedures will assure
that the repair has been made correctly and that no
other conditions exist.

Diagnostic Codes
The SRS control unit maintains a history record of all
diagnostic codes that have been detected since the
SRS codes were last cleared during service.
1. Active Codes - Faults that are presently detected this
ignition cycle. Active codes are stored in RAM
(Random Access Memory).
2. History Codes - All faults detected since the last time
the history fault memory was cleared. History codes
are stored in EEPROM. (Electronically Erasable
Programmable Read only Memory)

How To Read Trouble Codes
All codes (Active and history) can be read (or cleared)
by using a scan tool or equivalent.
If a PDT is not available, have the vehicle serviced by
HOLDEN dealer.

How To Clear Trouble Codes
Trouble codes can only be cleared by using a Scan
Tool. If a “scan tool” is not available then inform the
owner of the stored codes and suggest that the codes
are cleared upon the next visit to an Isuzu dealership.

Scan Tool Diagnostics
A scan tool can be used to read current and history
codes and to clear all history codes after a repair is
complete. The scan tool must be updated to
communicate with the SRS through a replaceable
cartridge or a manufacturer's update before it can be
used for SRS diagnostics. To use the scan tool,
connect it to the DLC connector and turn the ignition
switch “ON”. Then follow the manufacturer's directions
for communication with the SRS. The scan tool reads
serial data from the SRS control unitSRS control unit
“Serial Data” output (terminal 21) to the DLC connector
(terminal 2).

Basic Knowledge Required
Before using this section of the Service Manual, there is
some basic knowledge which will be required. Without
this knowledge, you will have trouble using the
diagnostic procedures in this section. Use care to
prevent harm or unwanted deployment. Read all

9A1-4 RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM

cautions in the service manual and on warning labels
attached to SRS components.

Basic Electrical Circuits
You should understand the basic theory of electricity
including series and parallel circuits, and understand
the voltage drops across series resistors. You should
know the meaning of voltage (volts), current (amps),
and resistance (ohms). You should understand what
happens in a circuit with an open or a shorted wire. You
should be able to read and understand a wiring
diagram.

“Flash Code” Diagnostics
Flash code diagnostics can be used to read active
codes and to determine if history codes are present but
cannot be used to clear codes or read history codes.
Flash code diagnostics is enabled by grounding by
terminal 4 shorting to terminal 13 of the DLC connector
with the ignition switch “ON”. Grounding terminal 4 of
the DLC connector pulls the “Diagnostics Request”
input (Terminal 1) of the SRS control unit low and
signals the SRS control unit to enter the flash code
diagnostic display mode.
