Notice:
Connect the terminals to the correct
positions to avoid a malfunction.
- Turn the ignition switch on, and wait for
approximately 60 seconds.

- Read the dtcs.
- Read the blinking patterns of the dtcs. As
examples, the blinking patterns for the normal
system code and dtcs 11 and 31 are shown in
the illustration to the left.
- Normal system code indication (without past
trouble code):
the light blinks twice per second.
- Normal system code indication (with past
trouble code):
when the past trouble code is stored in the
center airbag sensor, the light blinks only
once per second.
- Trouble code indication:
the first blinking indicates the first dtc. The
second blinking occurs after a 1.5 Second
pause.
If there is more than 1 code, there will be a 2.5
Second pause between each code. After all
codes are shown, there will be a 4.0 Second
pause, and then they all will be repeated.
Hint:
- If 2 or more malfunctions are found, the
indication begins with the smaller numbered
code.
- If dtcs are indicated without connecting the
terminals, proceed to the "tc and cg
terminal circuit" procedures (see page rs-
233).
- Clear dtc (using sst (check wire))
- Clear the dtcs.
- When the ignition switch is turned off, the
dtcs are cleared.
Hint:
Depending on the dtc, the code may not be
cleared by turning off the ignition switch. In this
case, proceed to the next procedure.
- Using sst, connect terminals 13(13(tc)) and
4(cg) of the dlc3, and then turn the ignition
switch on.

- Disconnect terminal 13(tc) of the dlc3 within 3
to 10 seconds after the dtcs are output, and
check if the srs warning light comes on after 3
seconds.
- Within 2 to 4 seconds after the srs warning
light comes on, connect terminals 13(tc) and
4(cg) of the dlc3.
- The srs warning light should go off within 2 to 4
seconds after connecting terminals 13(tc) and
4(cg) of the dlc3. Then, disconnect terminal
13(tc) within 2 to 4 seconds after the srs
warning light goes off.
- The srs warning light comes on again within 2
to 4 seconds after disconnecting terminal
13(tc). Then, reconnect terminals 13(tc) and
4(cg) within 2 to 4 seconds after the srs
warning light comes on.
- Check if the srs warning light goes off within 2
to 4 seconds after connecting terminals 13(tc)
and 4(cg) of the dlc3. Also check if the normal
system code is output within 1 second after the
srs warning light goes off.
If dtcs are not cleared, repeat this procedure
until the codes are cleared.
