Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
NOTE: Under the following conditions, the passenger’s
airbag cutoff indicator stays on or comes on suddenly.
No one is sitting the front passenger’s seat, but there is an object on the seat more than 5 kg (11 lbs).
The seat belt is buckled, but no one is sitting on the front passenger’s seat.
Someone who is less than 30 kg (66 lbs) is sitting on the front passenger’s seat.
Someone who is more than 30 kg (66 lbs) but is supporting some of their body weight on their legs,
feet, arms, or hands.
1. Check for these items, then recheck the passenger’s airbag cutoff indicator.
The front passenger’s seat is/was installed correctly.
Nothing is/was on the front passenger’s seat.
Nothing is/was under the front passenger’s seat.
Nothing is/was in the front passenger’s seat-back pocket.
Whoever was sitting on the passenger’s seat was sitting in the proper sitting position.
Go to step 2.
Troubleshooting is complete.
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (see page 24-22).
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).5. Select the INSPECTION menu on the HDS, then
select AFTER REPLACING FRONT PASSENGER’S
SEAT COMPONENT(S), and follow the prompts.
Go to step 6.
Troubleshooting is complete.
6. Select the INSPECTION menu on the HDS, then select AFTER A VEHICLE COLLISION, and follow
the prompts.
Replace the SRS unit (see page 24-203). If the
problem is still present, replace the ODS unit
(see page 24-209), and then if the problem is still
present, replace the passenger’s weight sensors
(see page 24-207).
Troubleshooting is complete.

Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment
NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs, check the SRS DTCs (see page 24-22) for the less obvious deployed
components (seat belt tensioners, front impact
sensors, side airbag sensors, etc.).
After a vehicle collision, do the ODS unit operation check (see page 24-28).
Do not replace the ODS unit unless it is physically damaged or a specific fault was found during DTC
troubleshooting.
After a vehicle collision, inspect the front seat active head restraints (see page 20-117).
After a collision where the seat belt tensioners
deployed, replace these items: SRS unit
Seat belt tensioners
Seat belt buckle tensioners
Front impact sensors
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed,
replace these items: SRS unit
Deployed airbag(s)
Seat belt tensioners
Seat belt buckle tensioners
Front impact sensors
After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed,
replace these items: SRS unit
Side impact sensor(s) (first)
Side impact sensor(s) (second)
B-pillar lower trim
Front seat assembly (Impact side) After a collision where a side curtain airbag deployed,
replace the items for the side(s) that deployed:
SRS unit
Deployed side curtain airbag(s)
Seatbelttensioner(s)
Side impact sensor(s) (first)
Side impact sensor(s) (second)
Rear safing sensor
Roof trim
A-pillar trim
B-pillar lower trim
C-pillar trim
Front grab handle
Rear grab handle
All related trim clips
Sunvisor
After a moderate to severe side or rear collision, inspect
for any damage on the side curtain airbag or other
related components. Replace the components as
needed.

Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment (cont’d)
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, do not repair, any damaged harnesses.
Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If the SRS indicator comes on
for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS is OK. If
the indicator does not function properly, use the HDS to
read the DTC (see page 24-22). If you cannot retrieve a
code, Do the SRS Symptom Troubleshooting.
Always replace.
Always replace.

Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar
Trim Overlap

EDGE OF HEADLINER
LESS THAN
15 mm (0.6 in.)
MASKING TAPE
To prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying and
damaging the pillar trim, the overlap between the
headliner and pillar trim must be less then 15 mm
(0.6 in.). To check the overlap, do this:
1. Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trims (B).
2. Apply masking tape to the headliner to mark the upper edge of each p illar trim. 3. Remove the pillar trim, and measure the headliner
overlap.
If the overlap is less than 15 mm (0.6 in.), remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
If the overlap is more than 15 mm (0.6 in.), go to step 4.
4. Carefully trim the headliner with a utility knife, reducing the overlap to less than 15 mm (0.6 in.).
5. Remove the tape, and install the pillar trim.
