The basic failure diagnosis process
The failure code DTC of both present and history-accumulated failures may co-exist.
Caution
The safety airbag alarm lamp flashes for 6 times and then extinguishes when the ignition switch is in ON
position after the installation of new safety airbag system electronic control unit, which demonstrates the
normal function of SRS safety airbag system. In this case the system does not need to be tested, otherwise it
should be diagnosed and repaired.
If the alarm lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is in ON position, repair the alarm lamp relevant
circuit and, then further operate to get it into work.
Scan the ECU by connecting
the scanner with k-line
Failure detection
The test for SRS safety airbag alarm lamp
SRS-ECU will execute a series of diagnosis and test to check whether the function of airbag system is prepares. The check can
prevent the restriction system from mis-explosion and ensure the necessary explosion during collision. If found the failure,
SRS-ECU will save a proper failure code and light the alarm lamp to indicate a failure status for the convenience of maintenance.
If connect the pin 2# wire 488# (diagnosis request wire) on the diagnosis port to the ground (wire 50#) for more than 2s, the
safety airbag alarm lamp will flash the code. For detailed position refer to following figure.
