Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM: SRS Warning Light does not Come ON; 2023 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [10/2022 -        ]

SRS Warning Light does not Come 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.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK AUXILIARY BATTERY

(a) Measure the auxiliary battery voltage with the ignition switch off.

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

HINT:

It may be possible to tell whether the auxiliary battery is discharged by operating the horn.

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the auxiliary battery before proceeding to the next step.

NG

REPLACE OR RECHARGE AUXILIARY BATTERY

OK

2.

CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Check that the connector is properly connected to the combination meter assembly.

OK:

The connector is properly connected.

HINT:

If the connector is not properly connected, reconnect the connector and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connector from the combination meter assembly.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
