SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

GENERAL

00-27

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

M1001009800020

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat 
belt with pre-tensioner is designed to supplement the 
driver's and front passenger's seat belts to help 
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and 
front passenger by activating and deploying both 
front air bags in certain frontal collisions.
The SRS consist of four air bag modules, SRS air 
bag control unit (SRS-ECU), two front impact 
sensors, two side impact sensors, SRS warning 
lamp, clock spring and seat belt pre-tensioner. Front 
air bags are located in the centre of the steering 
wheel and above the glove box. Side air bag are 
located inside the front seatback assemblies. Each 
air bag is made up of a folded air bag and an inflator 
unit. The SRS-ECU under the front floor console 
monitors the system and has a front air bag safing 

G-sensor, front air bag analog G-sensor and a side 
air bag safing G-sensor. The front impact sensor is 
assembled outside the headlamp support panel to 
monitor impact in case of front impact. The side 
impact sensors inside the centre pillars monitor the 
shock incurred by the sides of the vehicle. The 
warning lamp on the instrument panel indicates the 
operational status of the SRS. The clock spring is 
installed in the steering column. The seat belt 
pre-tensioner is built into the driver's and 
passenger's front seat belt retractor.
Only authorized service personnel should do work on 
or around the SRS components. Those service 
personnel should read this manual carefully before 
starting any such work.

SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

M1001006000047

DANGER

In order to avoid injury to yourself or others 
from accidental deployment of the air bag 
during servicing, read and carefully follow all 
the precautions and procedures described in 
this manual.

CAUTION

Do not use any electrical test equipment on or 
near SRS components, except those specified on 

P.52B-9

.

CAUTION

Never Attempt to Repair the Following 
Components:

1. SRS air bag control unit (SRS-ECU)
2. Front impact sensor
3. Clock spring
4. Driver's and front passenger's air bag 

modules

5. Side air bag module
6. Side impact sensor
7. Seat belt with pre-tensioner

NOTE: If any of these components are diagnosed as 
faulty, they should only be replaced, in accordance 
with the INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS SERVICE 
procedures in this manual, starting at page 

P.52B-174

.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to repair the wiring harness 
connectors of the SRS. If a defective wiring 
harness is found, repair or replace it by referring 
to the table below.

SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

00-29

DANGER

After disconnecting the battery cable, wait 60 
seconds or more before proceeding with the 
following work. In addition, insulate the 
negative battery terminal with a tape. The 
condenser inside the SRS-ECU is designed 
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air 
bag for a short time even after the battery 
has been disconnected, so serious injury 
may result from unintended air bag 
deployment if work is done on the SRS 
system immediately after the battery cables 
are disconnected.

SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

00-30

CAUTION

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

SRS-ECU, air bag modules, clock spring, 
impact sensors: 93

°

C or more

Seat belt with pre-tensioner 90

°

C or more

CAUTION

Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, always 
erase the diagnosis code and check warning 
lamp operation to make sure that the system 
functions properly.

CAUTION

If checks are carried out by using the SRS-ECU 
harness connector, observe the following 
procedures: Insert the special tool (probe in the 
harness set) MB991222 into connector from 
harness side (rear side), and connect the tester 
to this probe. If any tool than special tool is used, 
damage to the harness and other components 
will result. Never insert the probe directly to the 
terminals from the front of the connector. The 
terminals are plated to increase their 
conductivity, so that if they are touched directly 
by the probe, the plating may break, which will 
cause drops in reliability.
