Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures
If there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur, it w i l l be
stored in the m e m o r y as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator may c o m e on depending on the
malfunction detected.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as f o l l o w s :
1. Read the DTC (see " R e a d i n g the DTC").
2. Erase the DTC m e m o r y (see "Erasing the DTC
M e m o r y " ) .
3. Set the parking brake, then start the engine, and let
it idle.
4. The SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds
and then goes off.
Connect the HDS to the DLC (A). 5. Shake the w i r e harness and the connectors, take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering w h e e l fully left and
right, and hold it there for 5 to 10 seconds. If the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator w i l l come on.
6. If you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this t i m e .
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. From the HDS Main M e n u , select SRS, then Misc
Test, then Adjustments. In the A d j u s t m e n t M e n u ,
select OPDS I NIT. Follow the screen prompts to
initialize the OPDS.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Disconnect the HDS f r o m the DLC.
NOTE: If the OPDS system fails to initialize after
several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-
back (see page 20-89) and retry. If the OPDS system
continues to fail to initialize, replace the OPDS unit
(see page 24-156).
