SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

TSB Revision

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-29

WARNING

•

Inspection of the SRS-ECU connector harness 
should be carried out by the following procedure. 
Insert the backprobing tool into connector from 
harness side (rear side), and connect the tester to 
backprobing tool. If any tool other than backprob-
ing tool is used, it may cause damage to the har-
ness and other components. Furthermore, 
measurement should not be carried out by touch-
ing the backprobing tool directly against the termi-
nals from the front of the connector. The terminals 
are plated to increase their conductivity, so if they 
are touched directly by the backprobing tool, the 
plating may break, which will decrease reliability.

•

The SRS components and seat belt with 
pre-tensioner should not be subjected to heat, so 
remove the SRS-ECU, driver’s and front passen-
ger’s air bag modules, clock spring, side-airbag 
modules, and seat belt pre-tensioner before drying 
or baking the vehicle after painting.

•

SRS-ECU, air bag module, clock spring: 93

(200

•

Seat belt with pre-tensioner 90

•

After servicing the SRS system, check the warning 
light operation to make sure that the system func-
tions properly. (Refer to 

P.52B-3

).

•

Make certain that the ignition switch is in the 
"LOCK"(OFF) position when the scan tool is con-
nected or disconnected.

SRS AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO DIAGNOSIS

M1524005000330

The SRS system is controlled by the SRS-ECU. The 
SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detect-
ing signals from the left and right front impact sen-
sors and side impact sensors, front air bag analog 
G-sensor and front air bag safing G-sensor and 
side-airbag safing G-sensor. If the impact is over a 
predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition 
signal. At this time, if the safing G-sensor is on, the 
SRS air bag will inflate. (The passenger's air bag 
may not inflate according to the occupant detection 
data from the occupant classification-ECU.) The 

SRS warning light in the combination meter alerts a 
malfunction of the SRS system. If the following 
symptoms occur even when the vehicle has not been 
in a collision, there may be a malfunction in the SRS 
system.

• The SRS warning light does not go off within 

approximately seven seconds after the ignition 
switch has been turned to the "ON" position.

• The SRS warning light does not illuminate when 

the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position.

Refer to Post-collision Diagnosis when inspecting 
and servicing a vehicle that has been in a collision 
(Refer to 

P.52B-348

).

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1524003100427

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If 
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you 
have exhausted all of the possible ways to find a 
SRS fault.
1. Gather information about the problem from the 

customer.

2. Verify that the condition described by the 

customer exists.

3. Check the vehicle for any SRS diagnostic trouble 

codes (SRS DTC).

4. If you cannot verify the condition but there are no 

SRS DTCs, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer 
to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting 

− 

Inspection Service Points 

− How to Cope with 

Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-6

.

5. If there is a SRS DTC, record the code number, 

then erase the code from vehicle memory using 
scan tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly) MB991958.

6. Recreate the SRS DTC set conditions to see if the 

same SRS DTC will be set again.

• If the same SRS DTC is set again, follow the 

Inspection Chart for the DTC and find the fault.

• If you cannot get the same SRS DTC to be set 

again, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting 

− 

Inspection Service Points 

− How to Cope with 

Intermittent Malfunctions
