SRS Warning Light Check

NOTE: If the ignition switch is turned ON with the airbag sensor assembly connectors disconnected, or if a vehicle battery is removed with the ignition switch ON, the system will determine this condition as a failure and it will automatically call the call center. When an accidental call is made automatically, access to the call center and ask them to cut off the line.

To prevent this, perform the following when working on operation related to the airbag sensor assembly or battery:
- Disconnect the connectors of the mayday ECU and the back-up battery before disconnecting the airbag sensor assembly connector.
- Be sure that the ignition switch is OFF when removing a vehicle battery.
- If not signal has been received from the airbag sensor assembly since the ignition switch was turned ON, a service call will be made.
- If good signal reception from the airbag sensor assembly after the ignition switch ON is interrupted, an emergency call will be made.

SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK




a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and check that the SRS warning light lights up.

b. Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx. 6 seconds.

HINT:
- When the ignition switch is at ON and the SRS warning light remains on or flashes, the airbag sensor assembly has detected a malfunction code.
- If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warning light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short in the SRS warning light circuit can be considered likely. Proceed to "SRS warning light circuit malfunction".
