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 34-3x 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. 

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

5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connector) and simulator lead E to the right side 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 34-3x indicated?  

YES - Go to step 9. 

NO - Short to another wire 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, then wait for 3 minutes. 

10. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 7 ).  

11. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead.  

12. Connect the SRS short canceller (070AZ-SAA0100) to No. 9 and No. 10 terminals of SRS unit 

connector C(28P) (see OPENING THE SRS UNIT SHORTING CONNECTORS FOR
