5-8840-2421-0 SRS Driver/Passenger Load
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
r
an inflator circuit component is causing system
malfunction and which component is causing the
malfunction. The load tool should be used only when
specifically called for in the diagnostic procedures.
5-8840-0366-0 DMM

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING A SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING A SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY SRS
SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU/GM will call out those fasteners that require
a replacement after removal. ISUZU/GM will also
call out the fasteners that require thread lockers o
r
thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,
do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases,
or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners
or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such
coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and
the joint clamping force, and may damage the
fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications.
Following these instructions can help you avoid
damage to parts and systems.

Diagnostic Information
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced,
use the correct part number fastener for that
application. If the correct part number fastener is
not available, a fastener of equal size and strength
(or stronger) may be used. Fasteners that are not
reused, and those requiring thread locking
compound, will be called out. The correct torque
value must be used when installing fasteners that
require it. If the above conditions are not followed,
parts or system damage could result.
Diagnostic Procedures
WARNING: TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SRS, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT SUCH AS
A
BATTERY-POWERED OR AC-POWERED
VOLTMETER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON-
POWERED, PROBE-TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY RESULT.
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are
designed to aid in finding and repairing SRS problems.
Outlined below are the steps to find and repair SRS
problems quickly and effectively. Failure to carefull
y
follow these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect parts
replacement.
1. Perform The “SRS Diagnostic System Check”.
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” should always be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
“SRS Diagnostic System Check” checks for prope
r
“SRS” warning lamp operation and checks for SRS
trouble codes using both “Flash Code” and “Scan
Tool” Methods.
2. Refer To The Proper Diagnostic Chart As Directed By The “SRS Diagnostic System
Check”.
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS problems.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis and incorrect
parts replacement.
3. Repeat The “SRS Diagnostic System Check”
After Any Repair Or Diagnostic Procedures Has
Been Performed.
Performing the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” after all repairs or diagnostic procedures, will assure
that the repair has been made correctly and that no
other conditions exist.
Diagnostic Codes
The SRS control unit maintains a history record of all
diagnostic codes that have been detected since the
SRS codes were last cleared during service.
1. Active Codes - Faults that are presently detected in this ignition cycle. Active codes are stored in RAM
(Random Access Memory).
2. History Codes - All faults detected since the last time the history fault memory was cleared. History codes
are stored in the EEPROM. (Electronically Erasable
Programmable Read only Memory)
How To Read Trouble Codes
All codes (Active and history) can be read (or cleared)
by using a scan tool or equivalent.
If a PDT is not available, have the vehicle serviced by a
HOLDEN dealer.
How To Clear Trouble Codes
Trouble codes can only be cleared by using a Scan
Tool. If a “scan tool” is not available then inform the
owner of the stored codes and suggest that the codes
are cleared upon the next visit to a ISUZU/GM
dealership.
Scan Tool Diagnostics
A scan tool can be used to read current and history
codes and to clear all history codes after a repair is
complete. The scan tool must be updated to
communicate with the SRS through a replaceable
cartridge or a manufacturer's update before it can be
used for SRS diagnostics. To use the scan tool,
connect it to the DLC and turn the ignition switch “ON”.
Then follow the manufacturer's directions fo
r
communication with the SRS. The scan tool reads
serial data from the SRS control unit’s “Serial Data”
output (terminal 21) to the DLC (terminal 2).

ISUZU KB P190 2007
RESTRAINT CONTROL SYSTEM 9A1-5
The SRS control unit displays the trouble codes b
y
flashing the warning lamp. Each code that is displayed
will consist of a number of flashes which represents the
tens digit, a 1.2 second pause, followed by a number o
f
flashes which represent the ones digit of the code. Each
code is displayed once before moving on to the next
code. After all the codes have been displayed, the
entire code sequence will be continually repeated until
ground is removed from terminal 4 of the DLC.
Two special codes exist when reading in the flash code
mode (Flash Code 12 and Flash Code 13). “Flash
Code 12” will always be the first code displayed when
the flash code mode is enabled. Code 12 is not an
indication of an SRS problem but an indication that the
flash code mode has been enabled. If there are no
active or history codes present, the SRS control unit will
display code 12 until ground is removed from the DLC
at terminal 4. “Flash Code 13” will be displayed i
f
history codes are present. To read the history codes, a
scan tool must be used.
