DTC 11-3x

DTC 11-3x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Short to Another Wire or Decreased Resistance in Driver's Airbag First Inflator

DTC 11-6x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Short to Another Wire or Decreased Resistance in Driver's Airbag Second Inflator

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead F 07XAZ-SZ30100
- SRS short canceller 070AZ-SAA0100

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

1. Clear the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
4. Disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector (A) from the cable reel.






5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and simulator lead F to the cable reel.
6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
7. Clear the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Short in the driver's airbag first or second inflator; replace the driver's airbag.

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
10. Disconnect the dashboard wire harness 4P connector (A) from the cable reel.






11. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and the simulator lead to the dashboard wire harness.
12. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
13. Clear the DTC memory.
14. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?

YES - Go to step 15.

NO - Short in the cable reel; replace the cable reel.

15. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
16. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit.
17. Disconnect the SRS inflator simulator from the SRS simulator lead. Do not disconnect the simulator lead from the dashboard wire harness 4P connector.
18. Connect SRS short cancellers (070AZ-SAA0100) to the No. 7 and No. 8 terminals and No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the SRS unit connector A (28P).
19. Measure the resistance between the terminals of both SRS simulator leads. There should be an open circuit (ohmmeter reads OL) or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector A (28P) and the SRS unit. Check the connection between the connector and the SRS unit. If the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit.

NO - Short in the dashboard wire harness; replace the dashboard wire harness.
