DTC 3-3: Short To Another Wire Or Decreased Resistance In Driver's Seat Belt Tensioner

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead C 07TAZ-SZ5011A
- SRS simulator lead F 07XAZ-SZ30100

1. Erase the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait for 3 minutes.




4. Disconnect the driver's seat belt tensioner 2P connector (A) from the floor wire harness connector (B).
5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 Ohm connector) and simulator lead C to the floor wire harness connector.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
7. Erase the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 3-3 indicated?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Short in the driver's seat belt tensioner; replace the driver's seat belt.

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait for 3 minutes.




10. Disconnect floor wire harness 4P connector C403 (A) from dashboard wire harness B connector C403.
11. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 Ohm connectors) and simulator lead F to dashboard wire harness B connector C403.
12. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
13. Erase the DTC memory.
14. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 3-3 indicated?

YES - Go to step 15.

16. Disconnect the driver's airbag connector, front passenger's airbag connector, and front passenger's seat belt tensioner connector.
17. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (18P) from the SRS unit.
18. Disconnect the simulator lead from dashboard wire harness B connector C403.




19. Check resistance between the No. 8 terminal and the No. 17 terminal of SRS unit connector A (18P). There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhm.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS unit; replace the SRS unit.

NO - Short in dashboard wire harness B; replace dashboard wire harness B.
