WIRING DIAGRAM
Airbag Warning Light System (Always Lit Up)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The airbag warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the airbag system is normal, the airbag warning light lights 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 airbag system, the airbag warning light\
lights up to inform the driver of
the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E of the TDCL are connected, the diagnostic code is displayed by t\
he blinking
of the airbag warning light.

11. DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHECKAfter repeating ignition switch ON±OFF operation (ON: wait 20 secs., OFF: wait 20 secs.) 5 times, check
the diagnostic codes. If only code 41 is displayed, proceed to step [ 12 ]. If a code other than code 41 is
displayed, return to step [ 7 ] and troubleshoot the displayed malfuncti\
on code.
NOTICE: When connecting the battery after clearing the malfunction code,\
always do it with the ignition
switch in LOCK position. When the battery has been reconnected, turn the ignition \
switch to ACC or ON
position after at least 2 seconds have elapsed.
If the battery is reconnected with the ignition switch in ACC or ON positi\
on, or the ignition switch is turned
ACC or ON within 2 seconds of connecting the battery, it is possible that the diagnosis system will not oper-
ate normally.
12. CLEARING OF MALFUNCTION CODE 41 STORED IN MEMORY Clear malfunction code 41 stored in memory. This operation is not necessary only in case that the power
source voltage returns to normal.
13. CONFIRMATION TEST Check the warning light again and confirm that all the malfunctions have been\
repaired. If the warning light
indicates an abnormality, repeat the operation again from step [ 2 ]. If code 41 is output at st\
ep [ 3 ], skip
steps [ 4 ] and [ 5 ] and proceed to step [ 7 ]. AB±27

paired.

Circuit Inspection
Diag. Code (Normal)Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The airbag system is equipped with a voltage±increase circuit (DC±DC\
converter) in the center airbag
sensor assembly in case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage±increase circuit (DC±DC c\
onverter) functions to increase
the voltage of the airbag system to normal voltage.
The diagnosis system malfunction display for this circuit is different to other circuits±when the airbag
warning light remains lit up and the diagnostic code is a normal code, source voltage d\
rop is indicated.
Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the center airbag sensor assembly, and approx. 10 se-
conds after the source voltage returns to normal, the airbag warning lig\
ht automatically goes off.
Code No.
Diagnosis
(Normal)Source voltage drop.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Preparation.
Does airbag warning light turn on after
approx. 10 seconds?
Check battery and charging system
(See page CH±1). Check diagnostic code, and if a
malfunction code is output,
perform troubleshooting according
to malfunction code.
If a normal code is output,
replace center airbag sensor
assembly.

4. Read the diagnostic trouble code indicated by thenumber of times the O/D OFF indicator light blinks.
HINT: If the system is operating normally, the light will blink
2 times per second.
The malfunction code is indicated as shown in the illustration
at left (Diagnostic trouble code ª42º is shown as an example).
HINT: When 2 or more trouble codes are stored in memory,
the lower±numbered code is displayed first.
If no diagnostic trouble code is output, or if a diagnostic
trouble code is output even though no diagnostic trouble
code output operation is performed, check the TE1 terminal
circuit on page AT±118.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
BY USING LEXUS HAND±HELD TESTER
AT0RD±01
1. Hook up the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC2.
2. Read the diagnostic trouble codes by following theprompts on the tester screen.
Please refer to the LEXUS hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
CANCELING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE
AT09T±07
After repair of the trouble area, the diagnostic trouble code
retained in the ECM memory must be canceled out by remov-
ing the EFI fuse for 10 seconds or more, with the ignition
switch off.
Check that the normal code is output after connecting the
fuse.
