CONNECTOR FOR SRS AIR BAG
The SRS air bag system connector is yellow or red.
To enhance system reliability, a connector lock switch is adopted for the SRS-ECU connector, and each
air bag module and clock spring connector, each seat belt with pre-tensioner
following illustration (black)>).

SQUIB CIRCUIT CONNECTOR LOCK SWITCH
Mechanism to automatically short-circuit the power supply terminal and the earth terminal of the air bag squib
circuit when the connector is disconnected. The short spring inside the connector allows to short-circuit the
power supply terminal and the earth terminal of the squib (no difference in voltage occurs between the
terminals) to prevent the squib from getting charged with static electricity.
CAUTION
When the connector is disconnected, it is normal for short-circuiting to occur between the connector
terminals.

Code No.21 Driver’s air bag module (squib) systemPossible Cause
This code is output when short circuit occurs between terminals of the
SRS-ECU driver’s air bag module (squib) circuit.
However, SRS warning lamp goes out when a normal operation is resumed
(diagnosis code is not cleared.)DConnector engagement faulty or short bar faulty*
DShort circuit in the clock spring
DShort circuit between terminals of the driver’s air
bag module (squib) circuit
DFaulty connector
DSRS-ECU inoperable
NOTE:
(1) *: The connector of the squib circuit contains a short bar (short-circuiting the positive (+) cable and
the negative ( - ) cable to avoid an erroneous deployment caused by static electricity when a connector
is not connected). Thus, when a connector is connected, the short bar may not be released due
to improper engagement of the connector or faulty connector as shown in the illustration below.
Disconnect the connector as shown in the illustration below, then reconnect it. Check that a diagnosis
code is output again after erasing the memory. If the diagnosis code is not output, the above-mentioned
code is output due to improper engagement of the connector.
