Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
. lf the terminals are bent, loose. or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.

Turn Signal/Hazard Relay Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section {24} before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
Remove the turn signal/hazard relay from the under-
dash fuse/relay box.
Inspect the relay and fuse/relay box socket terminals
to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded,
repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following
input tests at the fuse/relay box socket.- lf any test indicates a problem, find and cor-
rect the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the turn signal/
hazard relay must be faulty; replace it.

Description
)
The sRS is a safety device which, when used in coniunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver land
front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the sRS unit {including safing
sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag (and front passenger's airbag)
FRONT PASSENGEB'SAIRAAG
DRIVER'S AIRBAG
CABLE REEL
SRS UNtT
t
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the inflator charge(s) lf
battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power clrcult
resoectivelv will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor must activate. and send electric signals to the mlcroprocessor'
(2) The microprocessor must compute the signals' and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s)'
{3) The inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s)'

Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator light comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally
lf the liglt does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormal-
ity in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunctlon, and the data link circuit passes on the infor-
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This intormation can be read with the Honda PGM Tesler con-
nected to the DLC (16P).

)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.

Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
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-
onos.

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.
