WARNING:
• Before servicing the SRS, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at
least three minutes.
• Do not use old bolts; replace with new bolts.
• Check diagnosis sensor unit bracket to make sure it is free of deformities, dents, cracks or rust. If it
shows any visible signs of damage, replace with new one.
• Replace diagnosis sensor unit if it has been dropped or sustained an impact.
• Never use air tools or el ectric tools for servicing.
• When replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor unit, always check with the parts department for the lat-
est parts information. Installing an incorrect air bag diagnosis sensor unit may or may not cause the
air bag warning lamp to illuminate and may cause incorrect deployment of the supplemental air bags
and seat belt pre-tensioner in a collision r esulting in serious personal injury or death.
1. Disconnect the both the negative and positive battery terminals, then wait at least three minutes.
2. Disconnect the harness connectors for each air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner. Refer to SR-5,
"Removal and Installation", SR-10, "Removal and Installation", SR-13, "Removal and Installation", SE-69,
"Disassembly and Assembly", SB-4, "Removal and Installation of Front Seat Belt".
3. Remove center console. Refer to IP-20, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Disconnect diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors.
5. Remove bolts from the diagnosis sensor unit.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to check that no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRC-
13, "SRS Operation Check".
CAUTION:
• The diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the arrow mark " ⇐" pointing toward the
front of the vehicle for proper operation.
• Never damage the harness while installing.
• If malfunction is detected by the air bag warnin g lamp, after repair or replacement of the malfunc-
tioning parts, reset the memory using sel f-diagnosis or CONSULT-III. Refer to SRC-15, "
Self-Diagno-
sis Function (Without CONSULT-III)".
• After the work is completed, check that no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.

The air bag deploys if the air bag diagnosis sensor unit is activated while the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS sys-
tems. For example, the driver air bag module, front passenger air bag module, front seat belt pre-tensioners
and seat belt buckle pre-tensioner assemblies are activated in a frontal collision but not in a side collision.

Trouble Diagnosis IntroductionINFOID:0000000005147784
CAUTION:
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circui t related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in
this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be id entified by yellow and/or orange harness con-
nectors.
• Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace it
with a new one.
• Keep ground connections clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by usi ng “AIR BAG” warning lamp and/or CONSULT-III.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system mal-
function through the operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the “AIR BAG” warning lamp and CONSULT-III are as follows:
HOW TO PERFORM TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR QUICK AND ACCURATE REPAIR
A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a malf unction. It is important to fully understand the symp-
toms or conditions for a customer complaint.

NOTE:
SRS will not enter Diagnosis mode if no malfunction is detected in User mode.
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. After “AIR BAG” warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn ignition switch OFF within 1 second.
3. Wait more than 3 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 two more times (3 times total).
5. Turn ignition switch ON.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode. Refer to SRC-84, "

CONSULT-III Function (AIR BAG)INFOID:0000000005147787
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT-III)INFOID:0000000005147788
• The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes — “User mode” and “Diagnosis
mode”.
• After a malfunction is repaired, turn the ignition s witch OFF for at least one second, then back ON. Diagnosis
mode returns to the User mode. At that time, the self-diagnostic result is cleared.
AIR BAG diagnostic mode Description
SELF-DIAG [CURRENT] A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-III screen in real
time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requir-
ing repairs.
SELF-DIAG [PAST] Diagnosis results previously stored in the memo
ry are displayed on the CONSULT-III screen. The
stored results will remain until memory erasing is executed.
TROUBLE DIAG RECORD With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be dis-
played on the CONSULT-III screen.
ECU DISCRIMINATED NO. Air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identification number) is displayed. Air bag
diagnosis sensor unit has individual ECU discriminated number (identification number) based on model
and equipment.
PASSENGER AIR BAG The STATUS (readiness) of the front passenger air bag module is displayed. The STATUS displayed
(ON/OFF) depends on the signals supplied to the occupant classification system control module and
air bag diagnosis sensor unit. Refer to
SRC-10, "
Occupant Classification System (OCS)" for more in-
formation.

HOW TO CHANGE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3
Final Check of SRS Using CONSULT-III—Diagnosis Mode
1. Connect CONSULT-III.
2. If no DTC is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]”, repair of SRS is completed. Go to step 3.
If any DTC is detected on “SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]” , the malfunctioning part has not been repaired com-
pletely or another malfunctioning part is being detect ed. Perform DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2. Refer to
SRC-13, "
SRS Operation Check".
3. Touch “ERASE”. NOTE:
Touch “ERASE” to clear the memory of the malfunction (“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”).
If the memory of the malfunction in “SELF-DIAG [P AST]” is not erased, the User mode shows the system
malfunction by the operation of the warning lamp even if the malfunction is repaired completely.
4. Touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-III. Touch “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”.
5. Check that no malfunction is detected on “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”.
6. Touch “BACK” key of CONSULT-III to return to User mode from Diagnosis mode.
7. Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn off and disconnect CONSULT-III.
8. Go to SRC-13, "
SRS Operation Check".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 4
Check SRS Repair History
1.CONSIDER POSSIBILITY THAT SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS NOT ERASED AFTER REPAIR
Check repair history of the SRS.
Have any previous repairs been made to the SRS?
Yes >> Self-diagnostic result “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” (pre viously stored in the memory) might not be erased
after repair. Perform DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 3. Refer to SRC-15, "
Self-Diagnosis Function
(Without CONSULT-III)".
No >> Perform DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2. Refer to SRC-13, "
