Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures

If there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur, it will be stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the SRS indicator light will come on.

After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:

1. Read the DTC (see "Reading DTCs").
2. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC Memory").
3. With the shift lever in Park or neutral, start the engine, and let the engine idle.
4. The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds and then go off.
5. Shake the wire harness and the connectors, take a test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking, cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and right, and hold it there for 5 to 10 seconds. If the problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
6. If you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.
