CAUTION:
 Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identifi ed by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
 Never repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harn ess. If the harness is damaged, replace it with a
new one.
 Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
 The SRS self-diagnostic results can be read with 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
malfunction 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 per the following items.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS
There are two self diagnosis functions with air bag warning lamp per the following items.
USER MODE
 DIAGNOSIS MODE
METHOD OF STARTING
 Diagnosis mode changes from user mode to di agnosis mode when changing operation is performed.
 In user mode, when SRS air bag warning lamp is not blinking, changing to diagnosis mode by ignition switch
operation is not possible.
 In diagnosis mode, when repair is complete and system is normal, the mode changes to user mode when
ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON.
Procedure to Change Diagnosis Mode
1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON.
2. SRS air bag lamp turns ON for 7 second and turns OFF, then turn ignition switch OFF within 1second after the lamp turns OFF.
3. After turning ignition switch OFF, wait for 3 seconds or more.
4. Repeat operation 1 to 3 for 2 times so that operation 1 to 3 is repeated for 3times in total.
5. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON. Diagnosis mode changes.
USER MODE
In USER MODE, air bag warning lamp on combination meter blinks when a malfunction is detected and warns
the customer (driver).
How to Read Air Bag Warning Lamp
1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON, and check that the air bag warning lamp blinks.
2. Compare the air bag warning lamp blinking pattern with the examples.

APPLICATION ITEM
CONSULT-III performs the following functions.
HOW TO ERASE SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
 “Self Diagnostic Result”
A current self-diagnostic result is displayed on CONSULT-III screen in real time.
After the malfunction is repaired completely, no malfunction is detected on “Self Diagnostic Result”.
 “SELF-DIAG [PAST]” Return to “Self Diagnostic Result” CONSULT-III scr een by touching the “BACK” key of CONSULT-III and
select “Self Diagnostic Result” in SELECT DIAG MO DE. Touch “Erase” in “Self Diagnostic Result” mode.
NOTE:
If the memory of the malfunction in “SELF-DIAG [P AST]” is not erased, the user mode shows the system

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
The memory of “TROUBLE DIAG RECORD” cannot be erased.
 “SELF-DIAG RESULT [CAN]” Self-diagnosis result other than “SELF-DIAG R ESULT [CAN]” is erased when touching “Erase”.
SPECIAL FUNCTION
CAUSE OF WARNING (AIR BAG)
This item indicates IGN low or high voltage condition.
The air bag warning lamp blink in user mode when the battery voltage is lowered to the voltage value (less
than 9 V or highroad to the voltage value (more than 16V ) at which the SRS cannot be operated normally. The
air bag warning lamp turns OFF after the battery voltage returns to normal status after blinking.
In such a case, the DTC memory is not performed and changing to the self-diagnostic mode by IGN operation
cannot be performed while the air bag warning lamp illumi nates. “NO DTC” is displayed even if the malfunc-
tioning parts are checked by CONSULT-III.
This function records the following items.
CAUSE OF WARNING (OCCUPANT DETSCTION SYSTEM)
Detection status and detection record is displayed w hen air bag warning lamp blinks due to occupant detec-
tion function stop. Change to trouble diagnosis mode by ignition switch is not possible while warning lamp is
blinking due to occupant detection function stop. “NO DT C” is displayed even if the malfunctioning parts are
checked by CONSULT-III.
Display contents of CONSULT-III Description
Air bag IGN VOLT COND
“LOW” is displayed when IGN low or high voltage is detected. If not, “OK” is
displayed.
IGN VOLT TIME Number of times of IGN low or high voltage is detected.
LOW V RECORED Number of times of IGN ON after IGN low or high voltage is detected at first.
Display contents of CONSULT-III Description
Occupant detection
system FUNCTION STATUS
 “ON” or “STOP” is displayed according to occupant detection status that
is recognized by occupant detection system control unit.
 “STOP” is displayed when occupant detection function is stopped, if not, “ON” is displayed.
STOP DETECTION Displays number of times occupant detection function stop which is detect-
ed by occupant detection system control unit is displayed.
DETECTION RECORD Displays number of times of IGN ON since first detection of occupant detec-
tion function stop is displayed.
