How to Display and Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)The SRS indicator light indicates the DTC by the number of blinks when the SCS service connector is connected to the service check connector.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). The SRS indicator light comes on for about six to thirty seconds and goes off. Shortly after (the time depends on which DTC is confirmed by the self-diagnosis system), it will indicate the DTC. If the DTC is not indicated within one minute, do the troubleshooting for DTC 9-1 ("no code").
- In case of continuous failure(s), the DTC(s) will be indicated repeatedly (see example 1 below).
- In case of intermittent failure(s), the SRS indicator light will indicate (each of) the DTC(s) one time, then it will stay on (see example 2 below).
- In case of both continuous and intermittent failures, the DTC of the continuous failure only will be indicated repeatedly. After troubleshooting it, first recheck to make sure that the problem has disappeared and that there are no other codes. Then, erase the memory.
- In case the system is normal (no DTC), the SRS indicator light will start to blink (see example 3 below).
