Fig. 125: Measuring Resistance Between SRS Simulator Lead Terminal And Body Ground 

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 to ground in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; 
replace the faulty harness. 

DTC 34-1X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): OPEN IN RIGHT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG 
FIRST 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 34-1 x indicated?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NOTE:

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

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

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.  

4. Disconnect the roof wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side curtain airbag connector (B).

5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connector) and simulator lead E to the roof wire harness.  

6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.  

7. Clear the DTC memory.  

8. Read the DTC (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ). 

Is DTC 34-1 x indicated?  

YES -Go to step 9. 

NO -Open in the right side curtain airbag inflator, replace the right side curtain airbag (see SIDE 
CURTAIN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ). 

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.  

10. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).  

11. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead. Do not disconnect the simulator lead 

from the roof wire harness 2P connector.  

12. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the SRS simulator lead. There should be 1.0 ohms or 

less.

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 -Open in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness. Check the 
connections at C552 and C653; if the connections are OK, replace the faulty harness.
