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, REFE
R
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, o
r
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.
General Description
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 fo
r
that application. If the correct part numbe
r
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.


Restraint Devices

Legent
(1) Deployed Air Bag
(2) Knee Bolster
(3) Seat Belt


The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps
supplement the protection offered by the driver and
front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag
from the center of the steering wheel and from the
front of the passenger side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a
frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the
centerline of the vehicle. To further absorb the crash
energy there is a knee bolster located beneath the
instrument panel for both the driver and passenger,
and the steering column is collapsible.

9A-8 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

The SRS control unit is connected to the SRS wiring
harness by a 52–pin connector. This harness
connector uses a shorting clip across certain terminals
in the contact area. This shorting clip connects the
“AIR BAG” warning lamp to ground when the SRS
control unit harness connector is disconnected or CPA
(Connector Position Assurance) is not inserted even if
completely connected. This will cause the “AIR BAG”
warning lamp to come “ON” steady whenever the
ignition switch is at the ON or START positions with
the SRS control unit disconnected.

Component Description
SRS Control Unit
WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES, BE
VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SRS
CONTROL UNIT NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SRS
CONTORL UNIT. NEVER POWER UP THE SRS
WHEN THE SRS CONTROL UNIT IS NOT RIGIDLY
ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SRS
CONTROL UNIT AND MOUNTING BRACKET
FASTENERS MUST BE CAREFULLY TORQUED
AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTED TOWARD
THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE
PROPER OPERATION OF THE SRS. THE SRS
CONTROL UNIT COULD BE ACTIVATED WHEN
POWERED WHILE NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO
THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE
DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
The SRS control unit is designed to perform the
following functions in the SRS:
1. Energy Reserve — The SRS control unit maintains
24–
Volt Loop Reserve (24VLR) energy supply to
provide deployment energy when ignition voltage is
lost in a frontal crash.
2. Frontal Crash Detection — The SRS control uni
t
monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal
crashes which are severe enough to warran
t
deployment.
3. Air Bag Deployment — When a frontal crash o
f
sufficient force is detected, the SRS control unit
will cause enough current to flow through the air
bag assembly to deploy the air bag.
4. Malfunction Detection —The SRS control uni
t
performs diagnostic monitoring of SRS electrical
components and sets a diagnostic trouble code
when a malfunction is detected.
5. Frontal Crash Recording — The SRS control uni
t
records information regarding SRS status during
frontal crash.
6. Malfunction Diagnosis —The SRS control uni
t
displays SRS diagnostic trouble codes and system
status information through the use of a scan tool.
7. Driver Notification — The SRS control unit warns
the vehicle driver of SRS malfunctions b
y
controlling the “Air Bag” warning lamp.




“Air Bag” Warning Lamp
Ignition voltage is applied to the “AIR BAG” warning
lamp when the ignition switch is at the ON or START
positions. The SRS control unit controls the lamp by
providing ground with a lamp driver. The “AIR BAG”
warning lamp is used in the SRS to do the following:
1.
Verify lamp and SRS control unit operation by
flashing SEVEN (7) times when the ignition switch
is first turned “ON”.
2. Warn the vehicle driver of SRS electrical system
malfunctions which could potentially affect the
operation of the SRS. These malfunctions could
result in nondeployment in case of a frontal crash
or deployment for conditions less severe than
intended.
The “AIR BAG “ warning lamp is the key to driver
notification of SRS malfunctions. For proper lamp
operation, refer to the “SRS Diagnostic System Check”
in this section.

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
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 fo
r
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.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O
R
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.

Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight
ahead.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS” from left dash side lowe
r
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenge
r
air bag assembly replacement” in this section.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of the
steering column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side
lower fuse block or connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.

Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65

C (150

F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.

Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following
components and replace as required:

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

9A1-8 RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1”
voltage is applied from the “SRS” fuse to the SRS
control unit at the “Ignition 1” input terminals “35”. The
SRS control unit responds by flashing the “AIR BAG”
warning lamp seven times, while performing tests on
the SRS.

Notes On System Check Chart
1.
The “AIR BAG” warning lamp should flash seven
times after ignition is first turned “ON”.
2.
After the “AIR BAG” warning lamp flashes seven
times, it should turn “OFF”
3.
This test checks for the proper operation of the
“Serial Data” line. This test will also determine
whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored
and, if so, identify them.
4.
Improper operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
is indicated. This test differentiates a warning lamp
stays “ON” condition from a warning lamp does not
come “ON” condition.
5.
This test checks for proper operation of the “Serial
Data” line. This test will also identify the stored
diagnostic trouble codes and whether they are
current or history.
Diagnostic Aids
The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are
diagnosed is very important. Failure to diagnose the
diagnostic trouble codes in the order specified may
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis
and incorrect parts replacement.

Bag Low” or a malfunctioning shorting clip on the
passenger air bag assembly which would require
replacement of the air bag assembly. The test for this
diagnostic trouble code is only run while “AIR BAG”
warning lamp is performing the bulb check. When a
scan tool “Clear Codes” command is issued and the
malfunction is still present, the DTC will not reappear
until the next ignition cycle.
