52B-2SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - General informationGENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTIONThe Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is de-
signed to supplement the driver’s seat belt to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver by
activating and deploying a driver’s-side air bag in
certain frontal collisions.
The SRS consists of: left front and right front impact
sensors located, one each, on the right and left front
upper frame lowers; an air bag module located in
the center of the steering wheel, which contains the
folded air bag and an inflator unit; the SRS diagnosis
unit located under the rear console assembly, which
monitors the system, and which contains a safing
impact sensor; an SRS warning light located on the
instrument panel, which indicates the operational
status of the SRS; a clock spring interconnection
located within the steering column; system wiring
and wiring connectors; and a knee bolster located
SRS warning light
M52BAAFunder the steering column.
The SRS is designed so that the air bag will deploy
when the safing sensor, plus either or both of the
left front and right front impact sensors simul-
taneously activate while the ignition switches
“ON”.
That is designed to occur in frontal or near-frontal
impacts of moderate to severe force.
Only authorized service personnel should do work
on or around the SRS components. Those service
personnel should read this manual carefully before
starting any such work. Extreme care must be used
whenservicing the SRS, to avoid injury to the
service personnel (by inadvertent deployment of the
air bag) or the driver (by rendering the SRS inopera-
tive).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS/SRS WARNING LIGHT FUNCTION
The diagnosis unit monitors the SRS system and stores data
concerning any detected faults in the system. When the
ignition key is in “ON” or “START” position, the SRS warning
light should illuminate for about 7 seconds and then turn off.
That indicates that the SRS system is in operational order. If the
SRS warning light does any of the following, immediate
inspection by an authorized dealer is needed.
(1) The SRS warning light does not illuminate as described
above.
(2) The SRS warning light stays on for more than 7 seconds.
(3) The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.
If a vehicle’s SRS warning light is in any of these three
conditions when brought in for inspection, the SRS system
must be inspected, diagnosed and serviced
In accordance wrth
this manual.
