SRS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting

The SRS Indicator Doesn't Come On

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check to see if the other indicators come on (brake system, etc).

Do the other indicators come on?

YES - Go to 2.

NO - Go to 8.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect C2 connector (A), and C1 connector (B) from the gauge assembly.

3. Check resistance between the No. 9 terminal of C2 connector and body ground. There should be 0-1.0 W.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to 4.

NO - Open in the BLK wire of the dashboard wire harness or faulty body ground terminal (G401). If the body ground terminal is OK, replace the dashboard wire harness.n

4. Check for voltage between the No. 27 terminal of C1 connector and body ground within the first 6 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (II). There should be 8.5 V or less.

Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS indicator circuit in the gauge assembly; replace the gauge assembly.n

NO - Go to 5.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

6. Disconnect the U1o connector (A) from the SRS unit.

7. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 27 terminal (+) of C1 connector and body ground. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure voltage. There should be 0.5 V or less.

Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS unit; replace the SRS unit.n

NO - Short to power in the PNK wire of the dashboard wire harness or in the floor wire harness; replace the faulty harness.n

8. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Check the No. 16 ( 7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Did fuse No. 16 (7.5A) blow?

YES - Go to 11.

NO - Go to 9.

9. Disconnect C2 connector (A) from the gauge assembly.

10. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 2 terminal of C2 connector and body ground. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure the voltage. There should be battery voltage.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Faulty SRS indicator circuit in the gauge assembly or poor contact at gauge assembly connector B (20P) and gauge assembly; if the connection is OK, replace the gauge assembly.n

NO - Open in the under-dash fuse/relay box No. 16 (7.5A) fuse line, or open in the YEL wire of dashboard wire harness. If the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK, replace the faulty harness.n

11. Replace the No. 16 (7.5A) fuse, and check to see if the SRS indicator comes on.

Does the SRS indicator come on?

YES - The system is OK at this time.n

NO - Repair the short to ground in the under-dash fuse/relay box No. 16 (7.5A) fuse line.n

The SRS Indicator Stays On When In ‘‘SCS'' Menu Method

NOTE:

Inability to retrieve DTCs with the PGM Tester. Retrieve the flash codes with the SCS mode .
A new SRS unit must sense the entire system is OK before completing its initial self-test. The most common cause of an incomplete self-test is the failure to replace all deployed parts after a collision, in particular, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners.
An incomplete self-test prevents the PGM Tester from retrieving DTCs, although flash codes are available in the Tester's SCS mode.

Does the SRS indicator go off when the DTC memory is erased?

YES - Go to 42.

NO - Go to 2.

14. Check the No. 15 (10A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES - Short to ground in the SRS unit; replace the SRS unit.n

NO - Go to 15.

15. Replace the No. 15 (10A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

16. Disconnect the F1o connector (A) from the under-dash fuse/relay box (B).

17. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and wait for 30 seconds. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
