REMOVAL
WARNING:
• Before servicing the SRS, turn ig nition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at
least three minutes.
• Before disconnecting the air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness conn ectors, be sure to disconnect
each harness connector of the front shoulder belt pre-tensioners to prevent accidental air bag
deployment by static electricity and seat belt pre-tensioner operation.
• Do not use the air tools or electric tools for servicing.
• When replacing the air bag diagno sis sensor unit, always check with th e parts department for the lat-
est parts information. Installing an incorrect air bag diagnosis sen sor unit may or may not cause the
air bag warning lamp to illuminate and may cause in correct deployment of the supplemental air bags
and seat belt pre-tensioners in a collision r esulting in serious personal injury or death.
1. Always check the air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identification number) or part
number using CONSULT.
2. Disconnect both the negative and positive battery terminal s, then wait at least three minutes. Refer to PG-
73, "Removal and Installation (Battery)".
3. Disconnect the harness connector fo r the following SRS components: SB-8, "Removal and Installation"
(Front shoulder belt pre-tensioner LH/RH).
4. Remove the center console. Refer to IP-18, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Disconnect the harness connector from air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
6. Remove the air bag diagnosis sensor unit bolts , then remove the air bag diagnosis sensor unit.

• Do not reuse the air bag di agnosis sensor unit bolts.
• Replace the air bag diagnosis sensor unit if it has been
dropped or sustained an impact.
• Do not strike the air ba g diagnosis sensor unit.
• Replace the air bag diagnosis sensor unit if any SRS air
bag has been deployed or if any front seat belt pre-ten-
sioner has been deployed.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse the air bag diagnosis sensor unit bolts.
• The air bag diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the label arrow mark " " pointing
toward the front of the vehicle for proper operation.
• Do not damage the air bag diagnosis sensor unit harness connectors during installation.
• Be careful not to damage the diagnosis sensor unit harness.
• After installation is complete, check that no syst em malfunction is detected causing the air bag
warning lamp to illuminate.
• If a malfunction is indicated by the air bag warnin g lamp after repair or replacement of the malfunc-
tioning parts, perform the SRS final check. Refer to SRC-17, "SRS Final Check"
.
• After replacing the air bag diagnosis sensor un it, confirm using CONSULT that the ECU discrimi-
nated number (identification number) or part nu mber of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sen-
sor unit matches the ECU discrimin ated number (identification number) or part number of the
replaced (old) air bag diagnosis sensor unit.
NOTE:
If the ECU discriminated number or pa rt number of the new replacement air bag diagnosis sensor unit differs
from the ECU discriminated number or part number of the replaced air bag diagnosis sensor unit, reconfirm
the parts information and verify that the corre ct air bag diagnosis sensor unit was installed.

COMPONENT PARTS
Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioner
INFOID:0000000009460710
The seat belt pre-tensioner system wi th load limiter is installed for
both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal
collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an im pact exceeding a specified level
occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is
immediately taken up by the shoulder belt pre-tensioner (1) as well
as the lap belt pre-tensioner (2). Vehicle passengers are securely
restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the ches t-area seat belt web tension while maintaining force.
Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor UnitINFOID:0000000009460711
The air bag diagnosis sensor unit is located under the center con-
sole assembly. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit receives signals
from multiple SRS sensors and cont rols the deployment of the air
bags. The deployment of the air bags depends on the type and
severity of the collision. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit has self-
diagnosis capability through the use of the CONSULT as well as
flash codes displayed by the air bag warning lamp.
Crash Zone SensorINFOID:0000000009460712
The crash zone sensor is located behind the radiator and under-
neath the front air duct. The crash zone sensor sends signals to the
air bag diagnosis sensor unit during a frontal collision. This sensor
may be identified by a yellow connector.
Front Side Air B ag Satellite SensorINFOID:0000000009460713
The front side air bag satellite sensors are located on the front center
pillar LH and RH next to the seat belt pretensioners. The front side
air bag satellite sensors send signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor
unit during a side collision. Thes e sensors may be identified by yel-
low connectors.

Trouble Diagnosis without CONSULTINFOID:0000000009460726
DIAGNOSIS MODE
NOTE:
Diagnosis Mode can not be entered if a malfunction is not 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-23, "Flash Code Index"
.
SRS History CheckINFOID:0000000009460727
SRS HISTORY CHECK
1. Check repair history of the SRS. If no repairs have been made, perform SRC-15, "SRS Operation
Check". If repairs have been made, GO TO step 2.
2. Erase "SELF-DIAG [PAST]" after repair. Refer to SRC-17, "SRS Final Check"
.
SRS Final CheckINFOID:0000000009460728
DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Connect CONSULT.
2. Confirm that zero point reset of OCS is complete.
3. If no DTCs are detected on “SELF- DIAG RESULTS [CURRENT]”, repair of SRS is completed. Go to step
4.
If any DTCs are detected on “SEL F-DIAG RESULTS [CURRENT]”, t he malfunction has not been repaired
completely or another malfunction is being detected. Perform SRS Operation Check again. Refer to
SRC-15, "SRS Operation Check"
.
4. Touch “ERASE”. NOTE:
Touching “ERASE” will clear the SRS memory of the malfunction (“SELF-DIAG [PAST]”). If “SELF-
DIAG [PAST]” is not erased, User Mode may s how the previous system malfunction even if the
malfunction has been repaired completely.
5. Check that no malfunction is detected in “SELF-DIAG [PAST]”.
6. Exit Diagnosis Mode and disconnect the CONSULT.
7. Perform SRS Operation Check. Refer to SRC-15, "SRS Operation Check"
.
CONSULT Function (AIR BAG)INFOID:0000000009460729
CAUTION:
After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must
be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go
to ”sleep mode”, potentiall y causing a discharged battery and a no-start condition.
CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Diagnostic Test Mode Diagnostic Item Description
Self Diagnostic Result SEL F-DIAG RESULT [CURRENT]A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of
warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is displayed on the
CONSULT screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part
requiring repairs.
Data Monitor DATA MONITOR Displays air bag diagnosis sensor unit input/output data in real time.
Ecu Identification ECU DISCRIMINATED NO. Air bag diagnosis sensor unit ECU discriminated number (identifica-
tion number) or part number is displayed. Air bag diagnosis sensor
unit has individual ECU discriminated number (identification num-
ber) or part number based on model and equipment.
Trouble Diagnostic Record TROUBLE DIAG RECORD [PAST] With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously
erased by a reset operation can be displayed on the CONSULT
screen.
