DTC 31 Airbag Sensor Assembly Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a airbag sensor, safing sensor, drive circuit, diagnosis circuit and
ignition control, etc.
It receives signals from the airbag sensor, judges whether or not the SRS must be activated, and diagnostic
system malfunction.
DTC 31 is recorded when occurrence of a malfunction in the airbag sensor assembly is detected.

DTC Normal Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assembly in
case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the
voltage of the SRS to normal voltage.
The diagnosis system malfunction display for this circuit is different to other circuits-when the SRS warning
light remains lit up and the DTC is a normal code, source voltage drop is indicated.
Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the airbag sensor assembly and the source voltage returns to
normal, the SRS warning light automatically goes off.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area

NO Check for DTCs. If a DTC is output, perform trou-
bleshooting for the DTC. If a normal code is out-
put, replace airbag sensor assembly.
YES

SRS Warning Light System Malfunction (Always lit up when igni-
tion switch is in LOCK position.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx. 6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 are connected, the DTC is displayed by the blinking of the SRS warn-
ing light.
