OPERATION CHECK

PRECAUTION FOR OPERATION CHECK

CAUTION:

Use the correct procedure to replace the airbag parts.

CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT

(a) Primary check

(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON and check that the SRS warning light comes on.

(2) Turn the ignition switch off. Wait for at least 2 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to ON. The SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds and diagnosis of the airbag system is performed.

NOTICE:

Turn the ignition switch off when the battery is connected.

HINT:

  • If the warning light remains on for approximately 6 seconds or more after the ignition switch has been turned to ON, there may be a malfunction with the SRS airbag system.
  • If the warning light occasionally turns on approximately 6 seconds or more after the ignition switch has been turned to ON, there may be a short to +B, short to ground or an open in the SRS warning light circuit.
  • If the warning light illuminates after turning the ignition switch off or on (ACC), there may be a malfunction in the power source circuit or combination meter assembly.
  • The SRS warning light turns off, and then turns on. This blinking pattern indicates a source voltage drop. The SRS warning light turns off 10 seconds after the source voltage returns to normal.

FUNCTION OF PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR

(a) Initial check

(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(2) The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then turns off for approximately 2 seconds.

(3) Approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator will indicate ON/OFF depending on the following conditions.

  • *1: The system judges a person of average adult weight or more as an adult. If a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize them as an adult depending on their physique and posture.
  • *2: The system may not recognize a child or a child in a child restrain system as a child depending on factors such as the positioning of the child restraint system or the child's physique or posture.

HINT:

  • The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator illuminates based on the following timing chart in order to check the indicator light circuit.
  • When the occupant classification system is malfunctioning, both the SRS warning light and passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("OFF") come on. In this case, perform troubleshooting for the airbag system DTCs first.

PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR CHECK

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Check that the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("ON" and "OFF") comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then turns off for approximately 2 seconds.

HINT:

Refer to the indicator operation table in Function of Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator for the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator operation when the ignition switch is turned to ON and approximately 6 seconds elapse.
