Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock
exceeding a specified level, the controller lets current
flow to the inflation circuit. The current ignites the
cylinder of the seat belt, producing gas. The gas helps
tighten the seat belt to restrain firmly the driver’s upper
half in his seat.
RTW49JSH000201
Steering Column
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed
to compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance
of injury to the driver.
060R300038
Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy to
protect knees and control the forward movement of
the vehicle's front seat occupants during a frontal
crash, by limiting leg movement.
Definitions
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in
certain frontal crashes. It supplements the protection
offered by the seat belts by distributing the impact load
more evenly over the vehicle occupant's head and
torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i.e., no defined
time or interval).
B+
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the
battery at the time of the indicated measurement.
With the key “ON” and the engine not running, the
system voltage will likely be between 12 and 12.5
volts. At idle, the voltage may be 14 to 16 volts. The
voltage could be as low as 10 volts during engine
cranking.
Bulb Check
The SRS control unit will cause the “AIR BAG” warning
lamp to flash seven times and then go “OFF”
whenever the ignition switch transitions to the ON
position from any other ignition switch position and no
malfunctions are detected.

INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must always be
the starting point of any SRS diagnosis. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” checks for proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and checks for SRS
diagnostic trouble codes using the scan tool.
1. Current diagnostic trouble codes – Malfunctions
that are presently being detected. Curren
t
diagnostic trouble codes are stored in RAM
(Random Access Memory).
2. History diagnostic trouble codes – All malfunctions
detected since the last time the history memor
y
was cleared. History diagnostic trouble codes are
stored in EEPROM.
Scan Tool Diagnostics
A scan tool is used to read current and history
diagnostic trouble codes and to clear all diagnostic
trouble codes after a repair is completed. The scan
tool must be updated to communicate with the SRS
through a replaceable cartridge before it can be used
for SRS diagnostics. To use the scan tool, connect it
to the data link connector and turn the ignition switch
“ON”. The scan tool reads serial data from the SRS
control unit “Serial Data” line terminal “21” to the data
link connector terminal “2”.

On–Vehicle Service
Service Precaution
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS
REPAIRS.
The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Remove SRS fuse “SRS”, from the side of the
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r
disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly, refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this manual.
4. Disconnect yellow connector behind the glove box
assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON”, the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON”. This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle and difference model year air bag
assembly.
Use only new air bag assembly proper to the
TFR/S which is being repaired.
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenger ai
r
bag assembly replacement” in this manual.
3. Connect yellow connector at the base of steering
column.
4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to the side of the
driver side of instrument panel fuse block o
r
connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
manual.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65
C (150F).
2.
Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing
toward the front of the vehicle. It is very important
for the SRS control unit to be located flat on the
mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum
line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH O
R
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE AIR BAG
AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE
SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO
EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY.
6. Place the driver air bag assembly on a work bench
or other surface away from all loose or flammable
objects with its trim cover facing up, away from the
surface.
060R300028
7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six
feet) in diameter where the driver air bag assembl
y
is to be deployed. A paved, outdoor location
where there is no activity is preferred. If an
outdoor location is not available, a space on the
shop floor where there is no activity and sufficien
t
ventilation is recommended. Ensure no loose or
flammable objects are within the deployment area.
060R300029
8. Place the driver air bag assembly, with its trim
cover facing up, on the ground in the space just
cleared.
9. Stretch the SRS deployment harness and pigtail
adapter from the driver air bag assembly to its full
length.
10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the
SRS deployment harness. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.
11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail
adapter on the SRS deployment harness.
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not
be connected to a power source until the air bag is
to be deployed. The driver air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a powe
r
source is connected to it.
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated
into the driver air bag assembly connector. Failure to
fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting ba
r
located in the driver air bag assembly connecto
r
functioning (shorted) and may result in nondeployment
of the driver air bag assembly.
12.
Verify that the area around the driver air bag
assembly is clear of all people and loose o
r
flammable objects.
13.
Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting
with its trim cover facing up.
14. Notify all people in the immediate area that you
intend to deploy the driver air bag. The
deployment will be accompanied by a substantial
noise which may startle the uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS
deployment harness.
Page 39 of 4264
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9A-19
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag
assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot) vertically.
This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the driver air bag.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL
REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO
THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the
power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag. Recommended application: 12 volts
minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is
suggested.
17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the
power source.
18. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads
together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other.
19. In the unlikely event that the driver air bag
assembly did not deploy after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Steps 24
through 26. If 19. the driver air bag assembly did
deploy, proceed with Steps 20 through 23.
20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to
protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed
driver air bag assembly. After the air bag assembl
y
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain a powdery residue. This power consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by products of the chemical
reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by product of the
deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR
MODULE TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN FIRE O
R
PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND
SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH
THE METAL AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER
DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED DRIVER AI
R
BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS
COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE BY THE AI
R
BAG OR TRIM COVER.
21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly as soon after deployment as
possible. This will prevent damage to the pigtail
adapter or SRS deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot driver air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter can be
reused. They should, however, be inspected fo
r
damage after each deployment and replaced i
f
necessary.
22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembl
y
through normal refuse channels after it has cooled
for at least 30 minutes.
23. Wash your hands with mild soap and wate
r
afterward.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the
unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not
deploy after following these procedures.
24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has
been disconnected from the power source and that
its two banana plugs have been shorted togethe
r
by fully seating one banana plug into the other.
25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver ai
r
bag assembly.
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE
INFLATOR MODULE UNATTENDED ON A BENCH
OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG
AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A
FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AI

Service Precautions for SRS
Component Service
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. If a fastener needs to be
replaced, use the correct part number fastener fo
r
that application. If the correct part number
fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size
and strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners
that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. The correct
torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. If the above conditions
are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON O

The SRS control unit in Driver–Passenger SRS can
maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for
up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
“OFF,” the battery is disconnected, or the fuse
powering the SRS control unit is removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
“SRS” fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected
from the deployment loop as noted in the “Disabling
the SRS” procedure that follows, service can begin
immediately without waiting for the 15 second time
period to expire.
Disabling The SRS

2. Disconnect yellow connector at the base o
f
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly; Refer to “Passenge
r
air bag assembly replacement” in this section.
4. Disconnect passenger air bag assembly yello
w
connector behind the glove box assembly.
CAUTION: With the “SRS” fuse removed and
ignition switch “ON,” the “AIR BAG” warning lamp
will be “ON.” This is normal operation and does
not indicate an SRS malfunction.
Enabling The SRS
Installation
Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
1. Connect yellow connector passenger air bag
assembly.
2. Install glove box assembly. Refer to “Passenge
r
Air Bag Assembly Replacement” in this section.

4. Install “AIR BAG” fuse “SRS” to left dash side
lower fuse block or connect battery.
Turn ignition switch to “ON” and verify that the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp flashes seven times and then
turns “OFF.” If it does not operate as described,
perform the “SRS Diagnostic System Check” in this
section.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 65
C (150
F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SRS control unit should not
be used if they have been dropped from a height
of 100 centimeters (3.28 feet) or more.
3. When a SRS control unit is replaced, it must be
oriented with the arrow on the SRS control unit
pointing toward the front of the vehicle. It is ver
y
important for the SRS control unit to be located flat
on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SRS control unit
mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign
material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble
code.
5. The “SRS Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The “SRS
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning lamp operation and will lead you to
the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures ma
y
result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.
Inspections Required After An Accident
CAUTION: Certain SRS components must be
replaced after a frontal crash involving air bag
deployment.
In all types of accidents regardless of “Air Bag”
deployment, visually inspect all of the following

Tool
901RS146
The SRS Driver/Passenger Load Tool 5-8840-2421-0
is used only when called for in this section. It is used
as a diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent
inadvertent air bag assembly deployment.
The load tool has three yellow connectors attached to
its case.
The three small connectors are electrically functional
and serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of the small connectors is used to substitute for
the load of the driver air bag assembly when it is
connected at the top of the column to the SRS coil
assembly. Another small connector is used to
substitute for the load of the driver air bag assembly
and the SRS coil assembly when it is connected at the
