SRS Coil Assembly
The SRS coil assembly consists of two current
carrying coils. This is attached to the steering column
and allows rotation of the steering wheel while
maintaining continuous contact of the drive
r
deployment loop to the driver air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the yellow connector nea
r
the base of steering column which connects the SRS
coil to the SRS wiring harness.
The shorting clip shorts to the SRS coil and driver ai
r
bag assembly when the yellow connector is
disconnected. The circuit to the driver air bag
assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing
the steering column or other SRS components.

Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consists of an inflatable air bag
assembly and an inflator. W hen the vehicle is in a
frontal crash of sufficient force the SRS control unit
causes current flow through the deployment loops.
Current passing through the inflator ignites the
material in the air bag assembly. The gas produced
from this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembl
y
connector which connects the SRS coil assembly. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembl
y
circuits when the driver air bag assembly connector is
disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in
this way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the
air bag when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the
steering column or other SRS components.
RTW 79ASH001001
There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly connector which connects to the SRS
harness. The shorting clip shorts across the
passenger air bag assembly circuit when the
passenger air bag assembly connector is
disconnected. The circuit to the passenger air bag
assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing
the passenger air bag assembly, the instrument panel
or other SRS components.

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 fo
r
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 assembl
y
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 whethe

DTC B0015 (Flash Code 15) Passenger Air Bag Squib Circuit High Resistance
RTW 79ALF000301
Circuit Description
W hen the ignition switch is turned to “ON”, the SRS
control unit will perform tests to diagnose critical
malfunctions within itself. Upon passing these tests,
“Ignition 1”, and deployment loop voltages are
measured to ensure they are within their respective
normal voltage ranges. The SRS control unit then
proceeds with the “Resistance Measurement Test”.
The “Passenger Bag Low” terminal “16” is grounded
through a resister and the passenger current source
connected to the “Passenger Bag High” terminal “17”
and allows a known amount of current to flow. B
y
monitoring the voltage difference between the
“Passenger Bag High” and “Passenger Bag Low” the
SRS control unit calculates the combined resistance o
f
the passenger air bag assembly, harness wiring circuits
“Passenger Bag High” and “Passenger Bag Low”
connector terminal contact.
DTC Will Set When
The combined resistance of the passenger air bag
assembly, harness wiring circuits “Passenger Bag High”
and “Passenger Bag Low”, and connector terminal
contact is above a specified value. This test is run once
for each ignition cycle during the “Resistance
Measurement Test” when:
1. No “higher priority faults” are detected during “Turn–
ON”,
2. “Ignition 1” voltage is in the specified value.
Action Taken
The SRS control unit turns “ON” the “SRS” warning
lamp and sets a diagnostic trouble code.
