| Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: SRS Warning Light Remains ON; 2021 - 2022 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [08/2020 - 10/2022] | ||
|
SRS Warning Light Remains ON |
DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located in the combination meter assembly.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from off ON, and then goes off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light comes on to inform the driver of a problem.
When terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 are connected, DTCs are output by the blinking of the SRS warning light.
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag ECU assembly in case the source voltage drops.
When the auxiliary battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the voltage of the SRS to normal voltage.
A malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag ECU assembly. The SRS warning light automatically goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.
The signal to illuminate the SRS warning light is transmitted from the airbag ECU assembly to the combination meter assembly through the CAN communication system.
