SRS airbag warning lamp inspection
1. When the ignition switch is set to the ON position, check if the SRS warning lamp remains on for 6-7 s.
2. If the SRS warning lamp shuts off after 6-7 s, this is normal.
3. Except for the items listed above, diagnostic inspection is still needed\
.
System diagnosis
Airbag ECU will initiate a series of diagnostic test cycles to check if the airbag system functions are ready for
use. This diagnostic test can guard against the restraint system's faulty execution and at the same time guarantee
prompt execution in a collision. If a malfunction appears, airbag ECU will store the appropriate trouble code and
light up the warning lamp to point out the malfunction, as to make maint\
enance more convenient.
Diagnostic interface
Troubleshooting
Basic processes of the malfunction diagnostic
There are two SRS-ECU malfunctions types classified by time: current malfunction and history malfunction.
The malfunction types categorized by property are: external malfunction \
and internal malfunction.
Current malfunction trouble codes and history malfunction trouble codes may exist at the same time. External
malfunction trouble codes can be eliminated with a diagnostic instrument, but the internal malfunction trouble
codes cannot be cleared unless the SRS-ECU is changed.
Caution: After installing a new SRS airbag system electronic control unit, the airbag system warning
lamp will remain on for 6-7 s when the ignition switch is set to the ON position. This indicates that
the SRS airbag is operating properly. At this point, the system does not need to be inspected and
repaired. Aside from this case however, the system should be diagnosed and repaired.

Vehicle Collision Diagnostics
Whether the airbag is deployed or not, vehicle collision diagnostic and maintenance must be conducted
according to the following procedures.
1. Check the SRS-ECU diagnostic signal
(a) Connect the diagnostic connector (X-431 diagnostic scanner).
(b) Read the diagnostic result with the X-431 diagnostic.
Caution: Due to impact, and when the battery's power supply is insufficient, the scanner will be unable
to communicate with the SRS-ECU. At this time, use an external power supply, or make sure to
perform inspection and maintenance on the dashboard's wire harness.
2. Maintenance sequence
When the airbag is deployed, the following components should be replaced\
.
(a) Driver side airbag module.
(b) Front passenger side airbag module.
(c) SRS-ECU.
(d) Driver side and front passenger side preload seat belts.
Inspect the following components, if anything is abnormal, replace with \
a new one.
(a) Clock spring.
(b) Steering wheel, steering column, and steering lower shaft components.
Installation status of the driver side airbag module regarding the steer\
ing wheel.
(a) Inspect whether the steering wheel's noise is abnormal, for improper movement, or abnormal cleara\
nce.
(b) Inspect whether the wire harness connectors are broken and whether the terminals are deformed.
3. SRS-ECU
(a) Inspect whether the SRS-ECU housing and bracket are
sunken or depressed, cracked, deformed, etc.
(b) Inspect for broken connectors as well as deformed
terminals.
(c) Inspect the SRS-ECU bracket's installation status.
• Inspect whether the cover is sunken or depressed,
cracked, deformed, etc.
• Inspect for broken connectors as well as deformed
terminals and biting wire harnesses.
• Check whether the gas generator's housing is sunken or
depressed, cracked, deformed, etc.
• Inspect whether the arrow's direction is pointed towards
the front of the vehicle.
(d) Inspect the airbag module's installation status.
4. Inspect the driver side airbag module
5. Clock spring
(a) Inspect for broken connectors and protective tube and deformed terminals.
(b) Inspect for deformed housing.
6. Steering wheel, steering column, and lower shaft components
(a) Inspect the driver side airbag module's installation status.
(b) Inspect the steering wheel for abnormal noise, and whether the clearance is normal.
7. Inspect the wire harness connectors (dashboard wire harness).
8. Inspect whether the wire harnesses are firm. Check for damaged connectors, and deformed terminals.
Warning label
The driver side, clock spring, SRS-ECU, and front passenger side airbag, all have warning labels, with the
caution areas shown by an image. While maintenaning and using the SRS airbag, please work in accordance
with the label.Furthermore, when a label becomes damaged or dirty, please replace it with a new one.
