NOTE:
SRS will not enter Diagnosis mode if no malfunction is
detected in User mode.
1. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2. After ªAIR BAGº warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch ªOFFº within 1 second.
3. Wait more than 3 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 three times.
5. Turn ignition switch ªONº.
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.
6. ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operates in Diagnosis mode as fol-
lows:
NOTE:
If SRS does not enter Diagnosis mode even though malfunction is
detected in User mode, check the battery voltage.
If the battery voltage is less than 9V, charge the battery. Then go
to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 7, page RS-53.
If the battery voltage is OK, replace the diagnosis sensor unit.
