Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE
ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–2
General Description
CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always
reinstall them at the same location from which they
were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use
the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a
fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may
be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those
requiring thread locking compound will be called
out. The correct torque value must be used when
installing fasteners that require it. If the above
conditions are not followed, parts or system damage
could result.
Restraint Devices
827RW006
Legend
(1) Deployed Air Bag
(2) Knee Bolster
(3) Seat Belt
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps
supplement the protection offered by the driver and front
passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the
center of the steering wheel and from the top of the right
side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a
frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the
centerline of the vehicle. To further absorb the crash
energy there is a knee bolster located beneath the
instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and
the steering column is collapsible.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM 9J–6
825RS017
Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consist of an inflatable air bag
assembly and an inflator (a canister of gas–generating
material and an initiating device). When the vehicle is in a
frontal crash of sufficient force.
The SDM causes current flow through the deployment
loops. Current passing through the inflator ignites the
material in the air bag assembly. The gas produced from
this reaction rapidly inflates the air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembly
connector which connects the SRS coil assembly. The
shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembly
circuits when driver air bag assembly connector is
disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in this
way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag
when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the steering
column or other SRS components.
827RS008There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag
assembly connector which connects to the SRS harness.The shorting clip shorts across the passenger air bag
assembly circuit when the passenger air bag assembly
connector is disconnected. The circuit to the passenger
air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent
unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the
passenger air bag assembly, the instrument panel or
other SRS components.
827RS001
Seat Belt with Pretensioner (If so
equipped)
The seat belt comprises a seat belt and a cylinder (a
cylinder filled with powder and an ignition device). In
cases of frontal collision which cause a shock exceeding
a specified level, the controller lets current flow to the
inflation circuit. The current ignites the cylinder of the seat
belt, producing gas. The gas helps tighten the seat belt to
restrain firmly the driver’s upper half in his seat.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM9J–7
Steering Column
The steering column absorbs energy and is designed to
compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance of
injury to the driver.
431RW019
Knee Bolster
The knee bolsters are used to absorb energy to protect
knees and control the forward movement of the vehicle’s
front seat occupants during a frontal crash, by limiting leg
movement.
740RT015
Definitions
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in certain
frontal crashes. It supplements the protection offered by
the seat belts by distributing the impact load more evenly
over the vehicle occupant’s head and torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i.e., no defined time
or interval).B+
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery
at the time of the indicated measurement. With the key
“ON” and the engine not running, the system voltage will
likely be between 12 and 12.5 volts. At idle, the voltage
may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10
volts during engine cranking.
Bulb Check
The SDM will cause the “AIR BAG” warning lamp to turn
on 3.5 seconds and then go “OFF” whenever the ignition
switch transitions to the ON position from any other
ignition switch position and no malfunctions are detected.
“Continuous Monitoring”
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100
milliseconds while “Ignition 1” voltage is in the normal
operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly “DLC” a connector which allows communication
with an external computer, such as a scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame
from which all vertical measurements originate.
Deploy
To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops
The circuits which supply current to the air bag
assemblies to deploy the air bag.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Formerly “Code”, a numerical designator used by the
SDM to indicate specific SRS malfunctions.
Driver Current Source
An output of the SDM which applies current into the driver
air bag assembly circuit during the “Initiator Assembly
Resistance Test”.
Driver Air Bag Assembly
An assembly located in the steering wheel hub consisting
of an inflatable bag, an inflator and an initiator.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
Memory which retains its contents when power is
removed from the SDM.
Ignition Cycle
The voltage at the SDM “Ignition 1” inputs, with ignition
switch “ON”, is within the normal operating voltage range
for at least ten seconds before turning ignition switch
“OFF”.
Ignition 1
A battery voltage (B+) circuit which is only powered with
the ignition switch in the ON, or START positions.
Initiator
The electrical component inside the air bag assembly
which, when sufficient current flows, sets off the chemical
reaction that inflates the air bag.
“Initiator Assembly Resistance Test”
Tests performed once each ignition cycle when no
malfunctions are detected during “Turn–ON” or
“Continuous Monitoring”. This test checks for the correct
SDM configuration for the vehicle, shorts to “Ignition 1” in

Repairs And Inspections Required
After An Accident
NOTE: If any SRS components are damaged, they must
be replaced. If SRS component mounting points are
damaged, they must be replaced.
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. This does
not include remanufactured parts purchased from an
a u t h o r i z e d d e a l e r ; t h e y m a y b e u s e d f o r S R S r e p a i r s .
Do not attempt to service the SDM, the SRS coil
assembly, or the air bag assembly. Service of these
items is by replacement only.
Verify the part number of replacement air bag
assembly.CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle. Use only the air bag assembly for
Trooper.
CAUTION: Proper operation of the sensors and
supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires that
any repairs to the vehicle structure return it to the
original production configuration. Deployment
requires, at a minimum, replacement of the SDM, air
bag assembly and dimensional inspection of the
steering column. Any visible damage to the SDM
mounting bracket (s) requires replacement, and the
steering column must be dimensionally inspected,
whether deployment occurred or not.
