Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures
If there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur, it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator will come on.
After checking the OTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the OTC (see "Reading the OTC").
2. Erase the OTC memory (see "Erasing the OTC
Memory").
3. With the shift lever in neutral, start the engine, and
let it idle.
4. The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds
and then go off.
5. Shake the wire harness and the connectors, take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and
right, and hold itthere for 5 to 10 seconds. If the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
6. If you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
