PRE-CHECK
1. SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON and check that the
SRS warning light lights up.
(b) Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx.
6 seconds.
HINT:

When the ignition switch is at ACC or ON and the SRS
warning light remains on or flashes, the airbag sensor as-
sembly has detected a malfunction code.

If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warn-
ing light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light
lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short in
the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely.
Proceed to ºSRS warning light system malfunctionº on
page DI-180, DI-182.
2. DTC CHECK (Using diagnosis check wire)
(a) Output the DTC.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position
and wait approx. 20 seconds.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
NOTICE:
Never make a mistake with the terminal connection posi-
tion as this will cause a malfunction.
(b) Read the DTC.
Read the 2-digit DTC as indicated by the number of times
the SRS warning light blinks. As an example, the blinking
patterns, normal, 11 and 31 are as shown on the illustra-
tion.

Normal code indication.
The light will blink 2 times per second.

Malfunction code indication.
The first blinking output indicates the first digit
of a 2-digit DTC. After a 1.5 second pause,
the second blinking output will indicate the
second digit.

If there are 2 or more codes, there will be a 2.5 second pause
between each code. After all the codes have been output, there
will be a 4.0 second pause and they will all be repeated.
HINT:

In the event of a number of trouble codes, indication will
start from the smallest numbered code.

If it does not output a DTC or outputs a DTC without termi-
nal connection, proceed to the Tc terminal circuit inspec-
tion on page DI-185.
3. DTC CHECK (Using TOYOTA hand-held tester)
(a) Hook up the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC1.
(b) Read the DTCs by following the prompts on the tester
screen.
HINT:
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester operator's manu-
al, for further details.

4. DTC CLEARANCE (Using diagnosis check wire)
(a) Connect the 2 service wires to terminals Tc and AB of
DLC1.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON and wait approx. 6
seconds.
(c) Starting with the Tc terminal, apply body ground alternate-
ly to terminal Tc and terminal AB twice each in cycles of
1.0 seconds. Confirm that body ground is absolute. Final-
ly, keep applying body ground to terminal Tc.
HINT:
When alternately grounding terminals Tc and AB, release
ground from one terminal and immediately apply it to the other
terminal within an interval of 0.2 seconds. If DTCs do not clear,
repeat the above procedure until the codes are cleared.
(d) Several seconds after doing the clearing procedure, the
SRS warning light will blink in a 50 m sec. cycle to indicate
the codes have been cleared.
5. DTC CLEARANCE (Using TOYOTA hand-held tester)
(a) Hook up the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC1.
(b) Clear the DTCs by following the prompts on the tester
screen.
HINT:
Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester operator's manu-
al for further details.

HINT:

When the SRS warning light remains lit up and the DTC is the normal code, this means a source voltage
drops.
This malfunction is not stored in memory by the airbag sensor assembly and if the power source volt-
age returns to normal, the SRS warning light will automatically go out.

When 2 or more codes are indicated, the codes will be displayed in numeral order starting from the
lowest numbered code.

If a code not listed on the chart is displayed, the airbag sensor assembly is faulty.
