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.

Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock
exceeding a specified level, the controller lets current
flow to the inflation circuit. The current ignites the
cylinder of the seat belt, producing gas. The gas helps
tighten the seat belt to restrain firmly the driver’s upper
half in his seat.
RTW49JSH000201
Steering Column
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed
to compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance
of injury to the driver.
060R300038
Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy to
protect knees and control the forward movement of
the vehicle's front seat occupants during a frontal
crash, by limiting leg movement.
