Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work inthe area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exDosureof the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding. orsprayang equipment.
Disconnect the airbag connector(s) before discon-necting SRS harness connectors (see page24-1|1J.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after acollision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRSunit for physical damage. lf it is dented. cracked, ordeformed, replace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104.F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture)place. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, andkeep it away from dust.
During installation or replacement, be careful not tobump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area aroundthe SRS unit. The airbag(s) could accidentally deptoyand cause damage or injury.
24-8
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision ln which the airbag(s) was (were)
deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace. don,trepair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is anydamage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn theignition switch on. lf the SRS indicator light comeson for about six seconds and then goes off. the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator light does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.

Self-diagnostic Procedures
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it to locate the causes of system problems and to store this informa' I
tion in memory. For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit l
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS indicator will come on. ll it goes off after six seconds. the system is
norma l.
. lf there is an abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem, stores this information in memory, and turns
the sRS indicator light on. The data will remain in the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off or if the bat-
tery is disconnected.
o when you connect the scs service connector to the service check connector (2P), and turn the ignition switch oN (ll),

. Before you ,"n1ou" th" SRS main harness, disconnect the driver's airbag connector (and the front passenger's airbag
connector).
. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged {see section 23}. lf the battery is dead or low, measuring valLles 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 or the special tools'
For backprobing spring-loaded lock type connectors, refer to page 24-9'
Reading the DTC
when the SRS indicator light is on, read the DTC using one of these methods:
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector {DLC), and follow the tester's prompts lf the tester

)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.

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.

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.
