NOTE
*: Vehicles with front passenger’s air bag
6. 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.
7. Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check warning lamp operation to make sure that the system
functions properly. (Refer to P.52B-14.)
8. Make certain that the ignition switch is LOCK (OFF) position when the MUT-II is connected or
disconnected.
9. If you have any questions about the SRS, please contact your local distributor.
NOTE
SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT FROM UNINTENDED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, SO USE ONLY
THE PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.

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 – Troubleshooting52B-10
Code No.34 Connector lock systemProbable cause
This diagnosis code is output if a poor connection of the SRS-ECU is detected. However,
if the vehicle condition returns to normal, diagnosis code No.34 will be automatically
erased, and the SRS warning lamp will switch off.

SRS – Troubleshooting52B-14
SRS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Check to be sure that the SRS warning lamp illuminates
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
2. Check to be sure that it illuminates for approximately
7 seconds and then switches off.
3. If the above is not the cause, inspect the diagnosis codes.
INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Get an understanding of the trouble symptoms and check according to the inspection procedure chart.
Trouble symptomInspection procedure No.Reference page
Communication with
MUT-II is not possible.Communication with all systems is not
possible.152B-14
Communication is not possible with
SRS only.252B-15
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped), the
SRS warning lamp does not illuminate.Refer to diagnosis code No.43.52B-12
After the ignition switch is turned to ON, the SRS warning lamp
is still on after approximately 7 seconds have passed.Refer to diagnosis code No.43.52B-12
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Inspection Procedure 1
Communication with MUT-II is not possible. (Communica-
tion with all systems is not possible.)
Probable cause
The cause is probably a power supply system (including earth circuit) of the diagnosis
line.
Malfunction of connectors

Malfunction of wiring harness
Refer to GROUP 13A – Troubleshooting.

SRS – Troubleshooting / SRS Maintenance52B-15
Inspection Procedure 2
Communication with MUT-II is not possible.
(Communication is not possible with SRS only.)
Probable cause
If communication is not possible with the SRS only, the cause is probably an open circuit
in the diagnosis output circuit of the SRS or in the power circuit (including earth circuit).

SRS MAINTENANCE
The SRS must be inspected by an authorized dealer 10 years
after the date of vehicle registration.
SRS WARNING LAMP CHECK
Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. Does the SRS
warning lamp illuminate for about 7 seconds, turn off and
then remain extinguished for at least 5 seconds? If yes, SRS
system is functioning properly. If no, consult page 52B-6.

SRS – SRS Maintenance52B-18
BODY WIRING HARNESS
* Body wiring harness
NOTE
*: Vehicles with front passenger’s air bag
1. Check connector for poor connection.
2. Check harnesses for binds, connectors for damage, and
terminals for deformation.
REPLACE ANY CONNECTORS OR HARNESS THAT
FAIL THE VISUAL INSPECTION. (Refer to P.52B-3.)
Caution
The SRS may not activate if SRS harnesses or
connectors are damaged or improperly connected,
which could result in serious injury or death to the
vehicle’s driver or front passenger.
POST-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition
key to the “ON” position. Does the SRS warning lamp illuminate
for about 7 seconds, turn off and then remain extinguished
for at least 5 seconds? If yes, SRS system is functioning
properly. If no, consult page 52B-6.
