WIRING DIAGRAM
SRS Warning Light System (Always Lit Up, when ignition switch in
LOCK position)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the supplemental restraint system is normal, the SRS warning light ligh\
ts up for approx. 6 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and\
then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system, the SRS wa\
rning light lights up to inform the driver
of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E
1 of the DLC2 are connected, the diagnostic trouble code is displayed by \
the blinking
of the SRS warning light.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LEXUS SC400/300 is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System\
) such as the driver
airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in \
the correct sequence
could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during servicing, possibly leadin\
g to a serious acci-
dent. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental restraint system, i\
t is possible the
SRS may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing (inc\
luding removal or installa-
tion of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the followin\
g items carefully, then follow
the correct procedure described in the repair manual.
1. Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic trouble codes become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system, always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page RS±59).
2. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch turn\
ed to the LOCK position
and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The supplemental restraint
system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is sta\
rted within 90 seconds of
disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio sys-
tems will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memo\
rized by the audio
memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio systems as before and ad\
just the clock. When the
vehicle has power tilt and power telescopic steering, power seat, power outside rear view mirror and power
shoulder belt anchorage, which are all equipped with memory function, it is not \
possible to make a record
of the memory contents. So when the work is finished, it will be necessary\
to explain this fact to the custom-
er, and ask the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back±up\
power supply from outside
the vehicle.
3. Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger
airbag assembly, front airbag sensors and center airbag sensor assembly should be inspe\
cted (See pages
RS±16 , 28 , 41 and 44).
4. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace \
them with new parts.
5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensors during r\
epairs.
6. Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag a\
ssembly, front airbag sensors or center airbag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.
7. If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, front airbag sensors or center airbag sensor assembly have been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or dents or ot\
her defects in the case, bracket
or connector, replace them with new ones.
8. Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, front airbag sensors and center airbag sensor assembly directly to hot air or flames.
9. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k
/V minimum) of troubleshooting of the system's electrical
circuit.
10. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. \
Follow the instructions on the
notices.
11. After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, perform the SRS\
warning light check (See page RS±59 ).
12. If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to \
the precaution in the IN section. RS±2

FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
RS00N±07
1. Never reuse the front airbag sensor involved in a collision when the airbag h\
as deployed. (Replace boththe left and right airbag sensors.)
2. Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor facing towa\
rd the front of the vehicle.
3. The front airbag sensor set bolts have been anti±rust treated. When the \
sensor is removed, always replace
the set bolts with new ones.
4. The front airbag sensors is equipped with an electrical connection check me\
chanism. Be sure to lock this mechanism securely when connecting the connector. If the connector is not securely locked, a malfunction
code will be detected by the diagnosis system (See page RS±12).
CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
RSOOR±0A
1. Never reuse the center airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the airbag has
deployed.
2. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is t\
urned to LOCK position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the batter\
y even just loosing the set bolts
of center airbag sensor assembly.
WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
RSO41±01
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire harness assembly. The wires for the SRS wire har-
ness are encased in a yellow corrugated tube. All the connectors for the sys\
tem are also a standard yellow
color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector becomes broken du\
e to an accident
etc., repair or replace it as shown on page RS±48.
