Introduction to SRS Diagnosis

Introduction to Diagnosis
The SRS system is controlled by the SRS-ECU. The SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detecting signals from the analog G-sensor. If the impact is over a predetermined level, the SRS-ECU sends an ignition signal.

At this time, if the safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air bag will inflate. The SRS warning light in the combination meter alerts a malfunction of the SRS system.

If the following symptoms occur even when the vehicle has not collided, there may be a malfunction.
- The SRS warning light does not go off within approximately seven seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the "ON" position.
- The SRS warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position.

Refer to the Post-collision Diagnosis when inspecting and servicing the vehicle that has been in a collision.
