Fig. 113: Measuring Resistance Between Terminals Of SRS Simulator Lead 

Is the resistance as specified?  

YES -Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector C (28P) and the SRS unit. Check the 
connection; if the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Short in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness. 

DTC 32-8X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): SHORT TO POWER IN FRONT 
PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR 

Special Tools Required  



SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A  



SRS simulator lead E 07XAZ-S1A0200  

1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).  

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then 

goes off. 

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 32-8x indicated?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see 
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot 

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and 
Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General 
Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING 
INFORMATION ).
