Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: AIRBAG SYSTEM (for TMC Made): OPERATION CHECK; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback Corolla HV GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022]

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 turns on.

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

NOTICE:

Turn the ignition switch off when the auxiliary battery is connected.

HINT:

If the SRS 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 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 to 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 6 to 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, and then goes 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.

Indicator Operation

Front Passenger Seat Condition	Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator		SRS Warning Light
Front Passenger Seat Condition	ON Indicator	OFF Indicator	SRS Warning Light
Vacant	OFF	ON	OFF
Adult*1 is seated	ON	OFF	OFF
Child*2 is seated	ON or OFF*2	OFF or ON*2	OFF
Child restraint system is installed	OFF	ON	OFF
Occupant classification system failure	OFF	ON	ON

*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 restraint 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 timing chart below shows the operation of the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator. Use the chart to check the indicator light circuit.
When the occupant classification system has trouble, both the SRS warning light and passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("OFF") come on. In this case, check for DTCs for "Airbag System" first.
