SRS -General InformationSRS -General Information52B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
To improve safety, the SRS and seat belts with
pre-tensioner. These systems enhance collision
safety by restraining the front passengers in case
of an accident. The SRS works with the
pre-tensioner simultaneously when a collision is
detected.
The SRS consists of two air bag modules, SRS
air bag control unit (SRS-ECU), SRS warning lamp
and clock spring. The air bags are located in the
center of the steering wheel, above the glove box.
Each air bag has a folded air bag and an inflator
unit. The SRS-ECU under the floor console monitors
the system and has a safing G-sensor and an
analog G-sensor. The warning lamp on theinstrument panel indicates the operational status
of the SRS. The clock spring is installed in the
steering column. The seat belt pre-tensioner is built
into the front seat belt retractor. Only authorized
service personnel should do work on or around
the SRS components and seat belt with
pre-tensioner. Those service personnel should read
this manual carefully before starting any such work.
Extreme care must be used when servicing the
SRS to avoid injury to the service personnel (by
inadvertent deployment of the air bags or
inadvertent operation of the seat belt with
pre-tensioner) or the driver (by rendering the SRS
or the seat belt with pre-tensioner inoperative).

Code No.21 Driver’s air bag module (squib) systemPossible Cause
This code is output when short circuit occurs between terminals of the
SRS-ECU driver’s air bag module (squib) circuit.
However, SRS warning lamp goes out when a normal operation is resumed
(diagnosis code is not cleared.)DConnector engagement faulty or short bar faulty*
DShort circuit in the clock spring
DShort circuit between terminals of the driver’s air
bag module (squib) circuit
DFaulty connector
DSRS-ECU inoperable
NOTE:
(1) *: The connector of the squib circuit contains a short bar (short-circuiting the positive (+) cable and
the negative ( - ) cable to avoid an erroneous deployment caused by static electricity when a connector
is not connected). Thus, when a connector is connected, the short bar may not be released due
to improper engagement of the connector or faulty connector as shown in the illustration below.
Disconnect the connector as shown in the illustration below, then reconnect it. Check that a diagnosis
code is output again after erasing the memory. If the diagnosis code is not output, the above-mentioned
code is output due to improper engagement of the connector.

SRS - SRS Maintenance52B-43
AIR BAG MODULES, STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCK
SPRING AND SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
1. Remove the air bag modules, steering wheel and clock
spring. (Refer to P.52B-52.)
Caution
The removed air bag modules should be stored in
a clean, dry place with the cover face up.
2. Check cover for dents, cracks or deformation.
3. Check connector for damage, terminals deformities, and
harness for binds.
4. Check air bag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5. Check harness and connectors for damage, and terminals
for deformation.
6. Check clock spring connectors and protective tube for
damage, and terminals for deformation.
7. Visually check the clock spring case for damage.
8. Align the mating marks of the clock spring and, after
turning the vehicle’s front wheels to straight-ahead
position, install the clock spring to the column switch.
Mating Mark Alignment
Turn the clock spring clockwise fully, and then turn back
it approx. 3 times counterclockwise to align the mating
marks.
Caution
If the clock spring’s mating mark is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be completely
rotational during a turn, or the flat cable within the
clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal
operation of the SRS and possibly leading to serious
injury to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
9. Install the steering column covers, steering wheel and
the air bag module.
10. Check steering wheel for noise, binds of difficult operation.
11. Check steering wheel for excessive free play.Inflator
