B. The SRS indicator light can also indicate the DTC by the number of blinks when the SCS service connector is connect-ed to the service check connector (2P).
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten seconds. Then connect the SCS service connector to the service checkconnector (2P). lf you do not wait ten seconds, the SRS unit will not be completely reset and will not output DTCS.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The SRS indicator light comes on for about six seconds and goes off. Then it will indi,cate the DTC:- The DTC consists of a main code and a sub-code.- Including the most recent problem, up to three different malfunctions can be indicated.- In case of a continuous failure, the DTC will be indicated repeatedly (see example 1 below).- In case of an intermittent failure, the SRS indicator light will indicate the DTC one time, then it will stay on (see exam-ple 2 below).
lf both a continuous and an intermittent failure occur, both DTCS will be indicated as continuous failures.- In case the system is normal (no DTC), the SRS indicator light will stay on (see example 3).3. Read the DTC.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten seconds. Then disconnect the SCS service connector from the servicecheck connector (2P).

)Erasing the DTC Memory
To erase the DTC(s) from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM Tester (see the Honda PGM Tester SRS vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the MES con-
nector (2P). Do not use a jumper wlre.

The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connec-
tor from the MES connector (2P) within four seconds
after the SRS indicator light went off.
The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect
the SCS service connector to the lvlES connector
(2P) within the four seconds after the SRS indicator
light comes on.
The SRS indicator light goes off. Remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector (2P)
within four seconds.
The SRS indicator light indicates that the memory is
erased by blinking two times.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten sec-

Troubleshooting Intermittent
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 light comes on.
Afte. checking the DTC, troubleshoot as lollows:
1. Read rhe DTC {see "Reading the DTC"}.
Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
With the shifi lever in neutral, turn the ignition switch
ON (ll), and lei the engine idle.
The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and goes off.

tl-- -l
Shake the wire harness and the connector, take a test
drive (quick acceleration, quick braking, cornering),
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right, and
hold it there for five lo ten seconds to find the cause
of the intermittent failure.
lf the problem recurs, the SRS indicator light will
stay on.

Airbag
Disposal
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a wholevehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. lfthe vehicle is still within the warranty period, before youdeploy the airbags, the Honda District Service Managermust give approval and/or special instructions. Onlv afterthe airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehiclecollision, for example), can they be scrapped.lf the airbags appear intact (not deployed). treat themwith extreme caution.
Follow this p.ocedure:
Deploying the Airbags: In.vehiclo
NOTE: lf an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, itsairbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. Theairbags should not be considered as salvageable partsand should never be installed in another veh;cle.
!@ confirm thst oach airbag assembty issecurely mounted; otharwiso. sev€re personal iniurycould result lrom deployment.
1. Disconnect the baftery negative cable, then discon_nect the positive cable.
2. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properlyby following the check procedure on the tool labelor on page 24-'l'l .

Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
. lf the green light on the tool comes on, the aar-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special
Procedure.
. lf the red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.
Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag
should deploY (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
. lf the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on. continue with this procedure.
. l{ an airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
!!@ During doployment, the airbag sssom'
bly can become hot enough to buln you. Wait thir'
ty minutes aftsr deployment belore touching tho
assembly.
Dispose of the complete airbag assembly. No part
of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag,
and seal it securelY,

Doploying th6 Airbag: Out-of-vehicle
NOTE: lf an intact airbag has been removed from a
scrapped vehicle. or has been found defective or dam-
aged during transit, storage or service, it should be
deployed as follows:
@ Po3ition the airbag laca up, outdoors on
flat ground at lsast thirty f€€t (t0 ml from any obstacles
or people.
1. Confirm that the special tool is tunctioning properly
by following the check procedure on this page or on
the tool label.
2. Follow steps 5, 6, 7, and I of the in-vehicle deploy-
menl Drocequre.
Damaged Airbag Spacial Procedure
!@ r an airb.g cannot be deployed, it should
iiiTi-treatcd as normal scrap; il should still be consid-
srsd a potontially oxplosive device that can cau3o ssti-
ous iniury.
1. lf installed in a vehicle, lollow the removal proce-
dure on page 24-67.
2. In all cases. make a short circuit by twisting together
the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging
that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG
NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with
your Parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for
how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool: Check Procedur€
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector
handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery.
2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is
OK: red means the tool is faulty
3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips.

Replacement (cont'd)
11.
NOTE:
. Before installing the steering wheel, the front
wheels should be aligned straight ahead.. Be sure to install the harness wires so that theyare not pinched or interfering with other parts.. After reassembly. confirm that the wheels arestill turned straight ahead and that the steeringwheel spoke angle is correct (road test). lf minor
spoke angle adjustment is necessary, do so onlyby adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing andrepositioning the steering wheel.
Set the cancel sleeve so that the projections arealigned venically.
PROJECTIONS
12. Carefully install the cable reel on the steering column shaft. Then connect the 3p connector to thecable reel sub-harness, and connect the 2p connec-tor to the SRS main harness.
. 24-74
Install the steering column covers.
lf necessary, center the cable reel. {New replacementcable reels come centered.) Do this by first rotating thecable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate tt counterclockwise (approximately two and a half turns) untilthe arrow mark on the cable reel label points straightup.
