Impact-vehicle diagnosis
Test SRS-ECU diagnostic signals
1. Connect the (X-431 diagnostic test’s) diagnostic joint
2. Read the diagnostic results with X-431 diagnostic tester
Repairing procedure
1.When safety airbag is released.
The following parts should be replaced with new ones
a. Passengers’ side safety airbag module
b. SRS-ECU
c. Driver’s side safety airbag module
2 Check the following parts; replace them with new ones providing something wrong with them.
a. Clock spring
b. Steering-wheel, steering column, bottom steering shaft module
3.Driver’s side safety airbag module’s installation status towards the steering wheel.
a. Check whether abnormal knocking is with the steering wheel, its activity is in good condition and its clearance is normal.
b. Check whether the wiring harness joint is broken and its terminal is deformed.
Caution: Due to the impact, the diagnostic instrument cannot communicate with SRS-ECU when accumulator is lack of
power, in this case, check and maintain the instrument panel wiring harness or utilize the extension power supply.

1. Check whether depression, crack or deformation is with the SRS-ECU bracket.
2. Check whether the joint is broken and terminal is deformed
3. Check SRS-ECU bracket’s installation status
a. Check whether depression, crack or deformation is with the shroud
b. Check whether the joint is broken, terminal is deformed and wiring harness is meshed.
c. Check whether depression, crack or deformation is with the gas generator shield.

Removal methods for all the parts
Safety airbag electronic-control unit
Caution
Continue the operation 60 seconds after the removal of accumulator negative. Wrap the removed negative with
insulating tape for insulation.
2. The SRS-ECU must not be separated nor repaired replace the failed SRS-ECU with a new one.
3. Prevent the SRS-ECU from shock and vibration, replace the SRS-ECU with depression, crack or deformation with a
new one.
4. Do replace the SRS-ECU with a new one after the safety airbag is released.
5. Do not damage the SRS-ECU when removing or maintaining the parts next to it.

b. Install the connector clip connecting with the safety airbag ECU
c. Central channel’s side panel (or remove the co instrument panel)
d. Connect the grounding jumper.
4. Some points for installation
a. SRS-ECU installation
b. Post-installation test
Place the ignition switch in ON position
SRS alarm lamp flashes in 6 seconds and extinguishes.
c. If not extinguishes, the failure test and troubleshooting must be done.
