STEP 2. Check the harness wires between SRS-ECU 
connector C-74 and side impact sensor (RH) connector D-
02.
Q: Are the harness wires between SRS-ECU connector C-

74 and side impact sensor (RH) connector D-02 in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair them. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check for DTC.

Q: Is DTC 94 output?

YES : Replace the SRS-ECU. Refer to 

P.52B-66

.

NO :  This diagnosis is compleate.(If no malfunctions are 

not found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is 
suspected. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

1. Check that the SRS warning light illuminates when the 

ignition switch is in the "ON" position.

2. Check that it illuminates for approximately 7 seconds and 

then goes out.

3. If not, check for DTC.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

•

The SRS-ECU is powered from the ignition 
switch (IG1).

•

The SRS-ECU power is supplied from two 
circuits. Even if one circuit is shut off, the air bag 
can inflate.

•

The SRS system diagnosis can be done by 
connecting scan tool MB991502 to the data link 
connector.

•

The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is 
by detecting signals from the left and right side 
impact sensors and the analog G-sensor. If the 
impact is over a predetermined level, the SRS-
ECU outputs an ignition signal. At this time, if the 
safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air bag will inflate.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

•

If communication is not possible with the SRS 
only, the cause is probably an open circuit in the 
on-board diagnostic output circuit of the SRS or 
in the power circuit (including ground circuit).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

•

Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors

•

Malfunction of the SRS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the ground line at the SRS-ECU connector 
C-72 by backprobing.
(1) Do disconnect the connector C-72.
(2) Check the continuity between terminal 3 and the ground by 

backprobing.

Q: Is the resistance between terminal 3 and ground less 

than 2 ohm?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Go to Step 2.
