STEP 3. Check the connectors between SRS-ECU 
connector C-12 and ignition switch connector 
C-208.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Check the harness wires for open or short 

circuit between SRS-ECU connector C-12 
(terminal No.13) and ignition switch 
connector C-208, and repair if necessary. 

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 4. Check a burned-out fuse.
(1) Replace the fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, wait 

for at least one minute and then turn the ignition 
switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. 

(3) Check the fuse.

Q: Is the fuse in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 7.

NO : 

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Resistance measurement at the junction 
block connector C-214

(1) Disconnect junction block connector C-214, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(2) Resistance measurement between terminal 7 

and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Check the other circuit, which flows through 

fuse number 3.

NO : 

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Resistance measurement at the 
SRS-ECU connector C-12

(1) Disconnect SRS-ECU connector C-12, and 

measure at the wiring harness side.

CAUTION

Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from 
its front side directly as the connector contact 
pressure may be weakened.
(2) Resistance measurement between terminal 13 

and body earth.

OK: Open circuit

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 7.

NO : 

Check the harness wire for short circuit 
between SRS-ECU connector C-12 
(terminal No.13) and junction block 
connector C-214 (terminal No.7), and repair 
if necessary.
