PRECAUTION FOR OPERATION CHECK
Use the correct procedure to replace the airbag parts.
CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT
Primary check
Turn the ignition switch to ON and check that the SRS warning light turns on.
Turn the ignition switch off. Wait for at least 2 seconds, and then turn the ignition switch to ON. The SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds and diagnosis of the airbag system (including the seat belt pretensioners) is performed.
Turn the ignition switch off when the auxiliary battery is connected.
If the warning light remains on for approximately 6 seconds or more after the ignition switch has been turned to ON, there may be a malfunction with the SRS airbag system.
If the warning light occasionally turns on approximately 6 seconds or more after the ignition switch has been turned to ON, there may be a short to +B, short to ground or an open in the SRS warning light circuit.
If the warning light illuminates after turning the ignition switch off or to ACC, there may be a malfunction in the power source circuit or combination meter assembly.
The SRS warning light turns off, and then turns on. This blinking pattern indicates a source voltage drop. The SRS warning light turns off 10 seconds after the source voltage returns to normal.
