DTC 32-9X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): SHORT TO GROUND 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 32-9x indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

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

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

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and
Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General
