On–Vehicle Service 
Service Precaution 
WARNING:  WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR 
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING, 
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO 
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS.  FAILURE TO 
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN 
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL 
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS 
REPAIRS. 
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can 
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for 
up to 15 seconds  after the ignition switch is turned 
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse 
powering the SRS control unit is removed. 
Many of the service procedures require removal of the 
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly 
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental 
deployment.  If the air bag assembly is disconnected 
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling 
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin 
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time 
period to expire. 
 
Disabling The SRS 
Removal 
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key. 
 1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS”, from the side of the
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r
disconnect battery. 
 2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.  
  3. Remove glove box assembly, refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this manual. 
  4. Disconnect yellow connector behind the glove box
assembly. 
CAUTION:   With  the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON”, the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON”.  This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction. 
  
Enabling The SRS 
Installation 
CAUTION:  Never use the air bag assembly from 
another vehicle and difference model year air bag 
assembly. 
Use only new air bag assembly proper to the 
TFR/S which is being repaired. 
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key. 
 1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag 
assembly. 
  2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger ai
r 
bag assembly  replacement” in this manual. 
  3. Connect yellow connector at the base of steering 
column. 
 4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the side of the 
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r 
connect battery. 
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR 
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then 
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described, 
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this 
manual. 
 
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis 
 1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to 
temperatures above 65
C (150F). 
 2. 
Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not 
be used if they have been dropped from a height 
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more. 
  3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be 
oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing 
toward the front of the vehicle.   It is very important 
for the SRS control unit to be located flat on the 
mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum 
line.   It is important that the SRS control unit 
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign 
material. 
 4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all 
components are connected or a diagnostic chart 
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble 
code. 
 5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the 
starting point of any SRS diagnostics.   The “SRS 
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR 
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to 
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS 
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y 
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect 
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure 
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain 
situations may arise which will necessitate the disposal 
of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly.   This 
information covers proper procedures for disposing of 
a live air bag assembly. 
Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it 
must be deployed.   A live air bag assembly must not 
be disposed of through normal refuse channels. 
WARNING:  FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPE
R
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL PROCEDURES CAN
RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.  AN UNDEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED
OF THROUGH NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.
THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
CONTAINS SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE
SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE
SEALED CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING
DISPOSAL.  DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNE
R
INCONSISTENT WITH PROPER PROCEDURES
MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND 
/
OR LOCAL LAW. 
In situations which require deployment of a live air bag 
assembly, deployment may be accomplished inside or 
outside the vehicle.   The method employed depends 
upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as 
noted in “Deployment Outside Vehicle” and 
“Deployment Inside Vehicle” in this section. 
 
Deployment Outside Vehicle (Driver Air 
Bag Assembly) 
Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the 
vehicle is to be returned to service.   This includes, for 
example, situations in which the vehicle will be 
returned to useful service after a functionally or 
cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced.  
Deployment and disposal of a malfunctioning air bag 
assembly is, of course, subject to any required 
retention period. 
For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag 
assembly outside the vehicle, the deployment 
procedure must be followed exactly.   Always wear 
safety glasses during this deployment procedure until 
a deployed air bag assembly is scrapped or until an 
undeployed air bag assembly is shipped.  Before 
performing the procedures you should be familiar with 
servicing the SRS and with proper handling of the air 
bag assembly.   Procedures should be read fully 
before they are performed. 
The following procedure requires use of 5-8840-2468-
06 SRS deployment harness with appropriate pigtail 
adapter.   Do not attempt procedure without 5-8840-
2468-0 adapter.  WARNING:  FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES 
IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN 
PERSONAL INJURY.  NEVER CONNECT 
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWE
R 
SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT 
HARNESS TO THE DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. 
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN 
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A 
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE 
DEPLOYED.   THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL 
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A 
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.   WEA
R 
SAFETY GLASSES THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE 
DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURE. 
NOTE: This information applies only to driver air bag 
assembly.   Refer to “Deployment Outside Vehicle 
(Passenger Air Bag assembly)” in this section fo
r 
information on passenger air bag assembly scrapping.
  1. Turn ignition switch to “LOCK”, remove key and 
put on safety glasses. 
  2. Inspect 5-8840-2468-0 SRS Deployment Harness
and appropriate pigtail adapter for damage.   I
f 
harness or pigtail adapter is damaged, discard and 
obtain a replacement. 
 3. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads 
together by fully seating one banana plug into the 
other.  SRS deployment harness shall remain 
shorted and not be connected to  a power source 
until the air bag is to be deployed. 
827RS004
  4. Connect the appropriate pigtail adapter to the SRS 
deployment harness. 
  5. Remove the driver air bag assembly from vehicle. 
Refer to “Inflator Module Removal” in this manual.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM  9A-19
 
NOTE:  When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot) vertically.
This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag. 
 
NOTE:  When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise.  Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y 
the driver air bag. 
 
WARNING:  DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED.  THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.  FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. 
 16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the
power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag.  Recommended application: 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum.  A vehicle battery is
suggested. 
 17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the
power source. 
 18. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads 
together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other. 
 19. In the unlikely event that the driver air bag
assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 24
through 26.  If  19.  the driver air bag assembly did 
deploy, proceed with Steps 20 through 23. 
 20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to
protect your hands and  eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed
driver air bag assembly. After the air bag assembl
y
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue.  This power consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by products of the chemical
reaction.   Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda).  Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present after 
deployment. 
  WARNING:  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE 
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AI
R 
BAG ASSEMBLY.   AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE 
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY 
WILL BE VERY HOT.  ALLOW THE INFLATOR 
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY 
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE 
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY 
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW 
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE O
R 
PERSONAL INJURY. 
AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN 
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND 
SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG 
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH 
THE METAL AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG 
ASSEMBLY  FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER 
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED DRIVER AI
R 
BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS 
COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AI
R 
BAG OR TRIM COVER. 
 21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r 
bag assembly as soon after deployment as 
possible.  This will prevent damage to the pigtail 
adapter or SRS deployment harness due to 
possible contact with the hot driver air bag 
assembly canister.  The pigtail adapter can be
reused.  They should, however, be inspected fo
r 
damage after each deployment and replaced i
f 
necessary. 
 22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembl
y 
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled 
for at least 30 minutes. 
 23. Wash your hands with mild soap and wate
r 
afterward. 
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the 
unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not 
deploy after following these procedures. 
 24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has 
been disconnected from the power source and that 
its two banana plugs have been shorted togethe
r 
by fully seating one banana plug into the other. 
 25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r 
bag assembly. 
WARNING:  WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE 
INFLATOR MODULE UNATTENDED ON A BENCH 
OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG 
AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE 
SURFACE.   THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A 
FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AI

Service Precautions for SRS 
Component Service 
CAUTION:  When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed.  If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application.  If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used.  fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out.  The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed,  parts or system damage could
result. 
WARNING:  WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O
R
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED  BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS.  FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS. 
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can 
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for 
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned 
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse 
powering the SRS control unit is removed. 
Many of the service procedures require removal of the 
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly 
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental 
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected 
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling 
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin 
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time 
period to expire. 
 
Disabling The SRS 
Removal 
Turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and turn the steering 
wheel so that the vehicle's wheels are pointing straight 
ahead. 
  1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS” from left dash side lowe
r
fuse block or disconnect battery. 
 2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.  
  3. Remove glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenge
r
air bag assembly replacement” in this section. 
 4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly. 
CAUTION:   With  the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.”  This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.  
Enabling The SRS 
Installation 
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key. 
 1. Connect yellow connector  passenger air bag 
assembly. 
  2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r 
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section. 
 3. Connect yellow connector at the base of the 
steering column. 
 4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side 
lower fuse block or connect battery. 
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR 
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then 
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described, 
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this 
section. 
 
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis 
 1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to 
temperatures above 65
C (150
F). 
  2. Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not 
be used if they have been dropped from a height 
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more. 
  3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be 
oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit 
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y 
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat 
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle 
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit 
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign 
material. 
 4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all 
components are connected or a diagnostic  chart 
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble 
code. 
 5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the 
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS 
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR 
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to 
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS 
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y 
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect 
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements. 
 
Inspections Required After An Accident 
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be 
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag 
deployment. 
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag” 
deployment, visually inspect all of the following 
components and replace as required:

Circuit Description 
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1” 
voltage is applied from the “SRS” fuse to the SRS 
control unit at the “Ignition 1” input terminals “35”.  The 
SRS control unit responds by flashing the “AIR BAG” 
warning lamp seven times, while performing tests on 
the SRS. 
 
Notes On System Check Chart 
1. 
The “AIR BAG” warning lamp should flash seven 
times after ignition is first turned “ON”. 
2. 
After the “AIR BAG” warning lamp flashes seven 
times, it should turn “OFF”  
3. 
This test checks for the proper operation of the
“Serial Data” line.  This test will also determine
whether history diagnostic trouble codes are stored
and, if so, identify them.  
4. 
Improper operation of the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
is indicated.  This test differentiates a warning lamp
stays “ON” condition from a warning lamp does not
come “ON” condition.  
5. 
This test checks for proper operation of the “Serial
Data” line.  This test will also identify the stored
diagnostic trouble codes and whether they are
current or history.  
Diagnostic Aids 
The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are 
diagnosed is very important.  Failure to diagnose the 
diagnostic trouble codes in the order specified may 
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis 
and incorrect parts replacement.

Chart B “AIR BAG” Warning Lamp Comes “ON” Steady 
 
  
  RTW49JLF000101 
 
Circuit Description 
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1”
voltage is  applied from the “METER”  fuse to “AIR
BAG”, warning lamp which is connected to “SRS
Warning  Lamp”, terminal “39”.  The  “SRS” fuses appl
y
system voltage to the “Ignition 1”  inputs, terminals “35”.
The SRS control unit  responds by flashing the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp 7 times.   If “Ignition 1” is less than
9 volts, the “AIR BAG” warning lamp  will come “ON”
solid with no DTCs set.  
Chart Test Description 
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the 
diagnostic chart:

Circuit Description 
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “Ignition 1”
voltage is  applied from the “METER”  fuse to the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp which is connected to “SRS
Warning Lamp”, terminal “39”.   The “SRS” fuse appl
y
system voltage to the “Ignition 1”  inputs, terminals “35”.
The SRS control unit  responds by flashing the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp seven  times.  If “Ignition 1” is more
than 16 volts, the “AIR BAG” warning  lamp will be still
“OFF” solid with no DTCs set. 
 
Chart Test Description 
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart: 
  1. 
This test decides whether power is  available to SRS 
control unit warning lamp  power feed circuit. 
2. 
This test determines whether the voltage  is present 
in the warning  lamp circuit. 
3. 
This test determines if the malfunction is  in the 
instrument  cluster. 
4. 
This test checks for open in the warning  lamp 
circuitry. 
5. 
This test isolates the SRS warning lamp circuit and 
checks for a short in the SRS warning lamp circuit to 
B+. 
8. 
This test checks for a short from the SRS control 
unit warning lamp power feed circuit to ground. 
9. 
This test determines whether the short to ground is 
due to a short  in the wiring.
