9A1-8 RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM
Circuit Description
W hen 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 “1”. The
SRS control unit responds by flashing the “SRS”
warning lamp seven times, while performing tests on
the SRS.
Notes On System Check Chart
1. The “SRS” warning lamp should flash seven times after the ignition is first turned “ON”.
2.
After the “SRS” warning lamp flashes seven times, it
should turn to “LOCK”
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 “SRS” warning lamp is indicated. This test differentiates between ‘a
warning lamp stays “ON” condition’ and ‘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 ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis
and incorrect parts replacement.
SRS Diagnostic System Check
Step Action Yes No
1 Note the “SRS” warning lamp as the ignition switch is turned
“ON”.
Does the “SRS” warning lamp flash seven (7) times? Go to Step 2 Go to Step 3

Ignition switch
“LOCK”.
W hen DTC B0071 is set, go to DTC B0071 Chart.
For all other history codes refer to
“Diagnostic Aids” For that specific DTC.
A history DTC indicates the
malfunction has
been repaired or is intermittent. SRS is functional
and free of
malfunctions, no
further diagnosis is required.
If scan tool
indicated “NO DATA
RECEIVED,” refer to chassis
electrical section 8.

Chart A SRS Control Unit Integrity Check
RTW 79ALF000301
Circuit Description
W hen the SRS control unit recognizes that “Ignition 1”
voltage, applied to terminals “1”, is greater than 9 volts,
the “SRS” warning lamp is flashed 7 times to verif
y
operation. At this time the SRS control unit performs
“Turn–ON” tests followed by “Continuous Monitoring”
tests. W hen a malfunction is detected, the SRS control
unit sets a current diagnostic trouble code and
illuminates the “SRS” warning lamp. The SRS control
unit will clear current diagnostic trouble codes and move
them to a history file when the malfunction is no longe
r
detected and/or the ignition switch is cycled, except for
DTCs B0051 and B0055.
Chart Test Description
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
1. This test confirms a current malfunction. If no current malfunction is occurring (history DTC set)
the “Diagnostic Aids” for the appropriate diagnostic
trouble code should be referenced. The SRS control
unit should not be replaced for a history diagnostic
trouble code.
2. This test checks for a malfunction introduced into the SRS during the diagnostic process. It is extremel
y
unlikely that a malfunctioning SRS control unit would
cause a new malfunction to occur during the
diagnostic process.
