SRS Warning Light Remains On

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: AIRBAG SYSTEM: SRS Warning Light Remains ON
- SRS Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter.

When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON.

If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light comes on to inform the driver of a problem.

When terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 are connected, the DTC is displayed blinking the SRS warning light.

The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the center airbag sensor 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.

A malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the center airbag sensor. The SRS warning light automatically goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.

The signal to illuminate the SRS warning light is transmitted from the center airbag sensor to the combination meter through the multiplex communication system.

INSEPCTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK BATTERY

(a) Measure the voltage of the battery.

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

NG -- CHECK AND REPLACE BATTERY OR CHARGING SYSTEM
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CONNECTOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and combination meter.

OK:

The connectors are connected.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.





(b) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(c) Operate all components of the electrical system (defogger, wipers, headlights, heater blower, etc.).

(d) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(e) Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

Standard voltage:





(f) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.





(b) Disconnect the connector from the combination meter.

(c) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(d) Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard voltage:





(e) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT

(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

(c) Connect the connector to the combination meter.

(d) Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

(e) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(f) Check the SRS warning light condition.

OK:

After the primary check period, the SRS warning light goes off for approximately 10 seconds, and then turns on and remains on.

HINT
The primary check period continues for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON.

NG -- GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM

OK -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
