NOTE
(1) *: If the vehicle condition returns to normal, the diagnosis code will be automatically erased, and the SRS warning
lamp will return to normal.
(2) If the vehicle has a discharged battery it will store the fault codes 41 or 42. When these diagnosis codes are
displayed, check the battery.

SRS – Post-collision Diagnosis52B-19
POST-COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
To inspect and service the SRS after a collision (whether
or not the air bags have deployed), perform the following
steps.
SRS-ECU MEMORY CHECK
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
Caution
Make certain that the ignition switch is OFF when
the MUT-II is connected or disconnected.
2. Read (and write down) all displayed diagnosis codes.
(Refer to P.52B-6.)
NOTE
If the battery power supply has been disconnected or
disrupted by the collision, the MUT-II cannot communicate
with the SRS-ECU. Inspect and, if necessary, repair the
body wiring harness before proceeding further.
3. Read the data list (fault duration and how many times
memories are erased) using the MUT-II.

4. Erase the diagnosis codes and after waiting 5 seconds
or more read (and write down) all displayed diagnosis
codes. (Refer to P.52B-6.)

SRS – Post-collision Diagnosis52B-20
REPAIR PROCEDURE
WHEN AIR BAG DEPLOYS IN A COLLISION.
1. Replace the following parts with new ones.

SRS-ECU (Refer to P.52B-24.)

Air bag module (Refer to P.52B-25.)
2. Check the following parts and replace if there are any
malfunctions.

Clock spring (Refer to P.52B-25.)

Steering wheel, steering column and intermediate
joint
(1) Check wiring harness (built into steering wheel)
and connectors for damage, and terminals for
deformation.
(2) Install air bag module to check fit or alignment
with steering wheel.
(3) Check steering wheel for noise, binds or difficult
operation and excessive free play.
3. Check harnesses for binding, connectors for damage,
poor connections, and terminals for deformation.
(Refer to P.52B-18.)
WHEN AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IN LOW-SPEED
COLLISION.
Check the SRS components. If the SRS components are
showing any visible damage such as dents, cracks, or
deformation, replace them with new ones. Concerning parts
removed for inspection, replacement with new parts and
cautionary points for working, refer to appropriate INDIVIDUAL
COMPONENT SERVICE, P.52B-22.

SRS – Post-collision Diagnosis / Individual Component Service52B-22
Steering wheel, steering column and intermediate joint
1. Check wiring harness (built into steering wheel) and
connectors for damage, and terminals for deformation.
2. Install air bag module to check fit or alignment with steering
wheel.
3. Check steering wheel for noise, binds or difficult operation
and excessive free play.
Harness connector (body wiring harness)
Check harnesses for binding, connectors for damage, poor
connection, and terminals for deformation. (Refer to P.52B-18.)
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT SERVICE
If the SRS components are to be removed or replaced as a result of maintenance, troubleshooting,
etc., follow each procedure (P.52B-24 – P.52B-31)
Caution
1. SRS components should not be subjected to hear over 93C, so remove the SRS-ECU, air
bag module and clock spring before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
Recheck SRS system operability after re-installing them.
2. If the SRS components are removed for the purpose of check, sheet metal repair, painting,
etc., they should be stored in a clean, dry place until they are reinstalled.

SRS – SRS-ECU / Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring52B-25
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ASRS-ECU INSTALLATION
Caution
The SRS may not activate if SRS-ECU is not installed
properly, which could result in serious injury or death
to the vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
BPOST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
1. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
3. Does the “SRS” warning lamp illuminate for about 7
seconds, and then remain extinguished for at least 5
seconds after turning OFF?
4. If yes, SRS system is functioning properly.
If no, consult page 52B-6.
INSPECTION

Check the SRS-ECU and brackets for dents, cracks or
deformation.

Check connector for damage, and terminals for
deformation.
Caution
If a dent, crack, deformation or rust is discovered,
replace the SRS-ECU with a new one.
NOTE
For checking of the SRS-ECU other than described above,
refer to the section concerning troubleshooting. (Refer
to P.52B-6.)
AIR BAG MODULES AND CLOCK SPRING
Caution
1. Disconnect the battery (–) terminal and wait
for 60 seconds or more before starting work.
Furthermore, the disconnected battery
terminal should be covered with tape to
insulate it. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
2. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
air bag modules or clock spring.
If faulty, replace it.
3. Do not drop the air bag modules or clock
spring or allow contact with water, grease
or oil.
Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or
rust is detected.
4. The air bag modules should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the pad
surface is facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.5. Do not expose the air bag modules to
temperatures over 93C.
6. Both driver’s side and front passenger’s
side air bag modules should be replaced
with new ones once the respective air bags
were deployed. The clock springs should
also be checked and replaced with new ones
if considered abnormal.
7. Wear gloves and safety glasses when
handling air bags that have already
deployed.
8. An undeployed air bag module should only
be disposed of in accordance with the
procedures (Refer to P.52B-32.)

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific
gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1.220–1.290 [20C]
The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the
temperature, so use the following formula to calculate
the specific gravity for 20C. Use the calculated value
to determine whether or not the specific gravity is
satisfactory.
