Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking the wires








- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the 2 pin connector under the left seat.

Warning! Never use an ohmmeter or any other charged measuring instrument on a disconnected, undeployed explosive air bag. There is a risk that the air bag could be deployed!

Caution! Avoid touching the contact pins in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit. There is a risk of an electrostatic discharge which can cause damage to the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit.

Check the wire between the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit 4A (4) and the 2 pin connector 1 for a short circuit to voltage supply as described in Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the wire between the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit 3A (3) and the 2 pin connector 2 for a short circuit to voltage supply as described in Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.

Additional information:
- To access/replace the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit and connector, Service and Repair.
- To connect the test box, see Connecting the breakout box Connecting the Breakout Box, Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS).
- With ignition off and the 2 pin connector disconnected, the resistance between the 2 pin connector 1, 2 (to the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit) and the disconnected battery positive lead should be infinite.
- For more information on removal of battery cables, see Battery, disconnecting Battery Disconnecting.
- With ignition off and the 2 pin connector disconnected, the resistance between the 2 pin connector 1 and 2 (to the supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit) should be approximately 22 k(.

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
