General Troubleshooting Information
DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codesl
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it
to locate the causes of system problems and then store
this information in memory. For easier troubleshooting,
this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit.
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS
indicator will come on. lf it goes off after 6 seconds,
the system is normal.. lf there is an abnormality, the svstem locates and
defines the problem, stores this information in
memory, and turns the SRS indicator on. The data
will remain in the memory even when the ignition
switch is turned off or if the battery is disconnected.. When you connect the Honda PG lM Tester to the 16P
data link connector (DLC)to short the SCS terminal,
and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). the SRS indicator
will indicate the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by the
number of blinks.. When you connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P
data link Connector (DLC), you can retrieve the DTC in
the Honda Systems "SRS" menu.. After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with
the troubleshooting procedure for th is code.
Precautions. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf
it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is
10 mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range, A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause
accidental airbag deployment and possible injury.. Whenever the ignition switch is ON (ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than 3 minutes, be careful not to
bump the SRS uniU the airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or injuries.. Before you remove the SRS harness, disconnect the
driver's airbag connector. the front passenger's
airbag connector, both side airbag connectors, both
seat belt buckle tensioner connectors, and both seat
belt tensioner connectors.. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged. lf the
battery is dead or low, measuring values won't be
correct.. Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the
SRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect
the terminals with a jumper wire. Use only the
backprobe set and the Honda PGM Tester. Backprobe
spring loaded lock type connectors correctly.
Reading the DTC
When the SRS indicator is on, read the DTC using either
of the following methods:
PGM Tester "SRS" Menu Method:
Connect the Honda PGM Tester {A) to the 16P data link
connector {DLC)(B), and follow the Tester's Drompts in
the "SRS" menu.
lf the Tester indicates no DTC, no communication. DTC
3-6 to 3-'10, DTC 4-6 to 4-10, DTC 9-1, or DTC 9-2,
double-check by using the "SCS" menu method.

Erasing the DTG Memory
Specisl Tool Required
SCS service connector 07PAz-0010100
To erase the DTC(S)from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM Tester {see lhe Honda PGfM Tester SRS Vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the SCS service connector {A) to the MES
2P connector (B). Do not use a jumper wire.
07PAZ-0010100
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
4. The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds,
and then go off. Remove the SCS service connector
from the MES connector within 4 seconds after the
indicator goes off.
5. The SRS indicator will come on again. Reconnect
the SCS service connector to the MES connector
within 4 seconds after the indicator comes on.
6. When the SRS indicator goes off, remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector within 4
seconds.
7. The SRS indicator will bllnk two times indicating
that the memory has been erased.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for '10
seconds.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) again. The SRS js
OK if the SRS indicator comes on for 6 seconds and
then goes off.

Troubleshooting lntermittent Failures
lf there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur. it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator will come on.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see "Reading the DTC").
2. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
3. With the shift lever in neutral, start the engine, and
let it idle.
The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds
and then go off.
Shake the wire harness and the connectors. take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and
right, and hold it there for 5 to '10 seconds. lf the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
lf you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
