OPERATION
  • The SRS-ECU is powered from the ignition switch (IG1).
  • The SRS-ECU power is supplied from two circuits. Even if one circuit is shut off, the air bag can inflate.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set if the voltage between the IG1 terminals (fuse No.2 circuit) and earth is lower than a predetermined value for a continuous period of 5 second or more. However, if the vehicle condition returns to normal, diagnosis code number 41 will be automatically erased, and the SRS warning lamp will switch off.
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Damaged wiring harnesses or connectors
  • Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
   
     CAUTION
    Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front side directly as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
  1. Measure the voltage between C-115 harness side connector terminal 16 and body earth.
  2. OK: 9 V or more.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Erase the diagnosis code memory, and check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code 41 sets, replace the SRS-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 10 .
NO:  Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check the harness for open circuit between SRS-ECU connector C-115 (terminal No.16) and the ignition switch connector C-303 (terminal No.2).
Q: Is harness between SRS-ECU connector C-115 (terminal No.16) and the ignition switch connector C-303 (terminal No.2) in good condition?
YES:  Go to Step 10.
NO:  Repair the harness wire between SRS-ECU connector C-115 and the ignition switch connector C-303. Then go to Step 10.
   
     CAUTION
    Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front side directly as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
  1. Check for continuity between terminal 24 and body earth.
  2. OK: Open circuit
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 6.
NO:  Go to Step 8.
   
     CAUTION
    Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front side directly as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
  1. Check for continuity between terminal 25 and body earth.
  2. OK: Open circuit
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Check the other circuit, which flows through fuse number 2.
NO:  Go to Step 7.
   
     CAUTION
    Do not insert a test probe into the terminal from its front side directly as the connector contact pressure may be weakened.
  1. Check for continuity between terminal 16 and body earth.
  2. OK: Open circuit
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Erase the diagnosis code memory, and check the diagnosis code. If diagnosis code 41 sets, replace the SRS-ECU. (Refer to ). Then go to Step 10 .
NO:  Go to Step 9.
STEP 10. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
Q: Is diagnosis code 41 set?
YES:  Return to Step 1
.
NO:  The procedure is complete (If no malfunctions are found in all steps, an intermittent malfunction is suspected). Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points .
