The basic failure diagnosis process
The failure code DTC of both present and history-accumulated failures may co-exist.
Caution
The safety airbag alarm lamp flashes for 6 times and then extinguishes when the ignition switch is in ON
position after the installation of new safety airbag system electronic control unit, which demonstrates the
normal function of SRS safety airbag system. In this case the system does not need to be tested, otherwise it
should be diagnosed and repaired.
If the alarm lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is in ON position, repair the alarm lamp relevant
circuit and, then further operate to get it into work.
Scan the ECU by connecting
the scanner with k-lineFailure detection
The test for SRS safety airbag alarm lamp
SRS-ECU will execute a series of diagnosis and test to check whether the function of airbag system is prepares. The check can
prevent the restriction system from mis-explosion and ensure the necessary explosion during collision. If found the failure,
SRS-ECU will save a proper failure code and light the alarm lamp to indicate a failure status for the convenience of maintenance.
If connect the pin 2# wire 488# (diagnosis request wire) on the diagnosis port to the ground (wire 50#) for more than 2s, the
safety airbag alarm lamp will flash the code. For detailed position refer to following figure.safety airbag system alarm lamp

Description of flash code
The failure code transmission is completed by SRS-ECU’s input to the defined diagnostic scanner through the maintenance system’s
serial data interface. (X-431 diagnostic scanner) Failure code of diagnosis

3. Interior failure
The micro controller can test the following items not only in starting detection but also in cyclic diagnosis detection.
a. Ignition circuit triggers the transistor: The high-side transistor is detected not only in the starting detection but also in the
circulation diagnosis. But for the low-side transistor is opened when is connected to power supply directly, so the low-side
transistor only can be detected in the starting detection to avoid the misexplosion.
b. The ignition voltage is provided by the booster transformer.
c. The acceleration sensor is detected by itself when start the detection.
d. Allowable deviation scope of acceleration sensor in circulation diagnosis.
e. Micro controller includes (AD converter, ROM, RAM etc.)
f. Status of safety sensor
Cautions:
Connector of explosion tube circuit has the short-circuit bar. When the connector is not connected, the end (+) of
explosion tube is connected to end (-) directly to prevent the failure outspread caused by static. When the connector
is bas and short-circuit bar is connected, the failure may not be eliminated.
An external watch dog can detect the operating status of micro controller. It can trigger the watchdog when the micro con
troller has failure. The watch dog will reset the micro-controller and light the alarm lamp.

Tes t co n d it i o n Warning
If not correctly handled, the safety airbag module as well as pretension safety belt may possibly be
trigged, released and tensioned, thus make serene damage to people. Therefore, please carefully read the
repairing warning before trouble handling. Please take references in safety airbag system repairing warning
If with passengers’ side safety airbag failure
The resistance between SRS safety airbag system unit connector clip stitch 13 and stitch 14 not within the
designated scope.
The wiring harness shorting between safety airbag system unit stitch 13 and stitch 14

Possible causes Passengers’ side safety airbag module failure
The failure of connector clip between passengers’ side safety airbag module and SRS safety airbag system
electronic-control unit
The failure of connector clip between SRS safety airbag system unit and grounding jumper.
The circuit shutoff or shorting between passengers’ side safety airbag module and SRS safety airbag system
