Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures
If there was a malfunction that sets a DTC, but it does
not recur, it will be stored in the memory as an
intermittent failure, and the SRS indicator may come on
depending on the malfunction detected.
NOTE:
• Check the condition of the battery (see page 22-88),
and the charging system (see page 4-28). Low battery
voltage may cause some intermittent failures.
• A faulty cable reel can cause intermittent connections
related to the driver's airbag inflator DTCs.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see Reading the DTC).
2. Clear the DTC memory (see Clear the DTC Memory).
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.
5. Shake the related wire harnesses and the
connectors, and look for loose connections, poor
pinfits, and poor grounds.
6. Take a test-drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
and cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left
and right, and hold it there for 5 to 10 seconds. If
the problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
7. If you cannot duplicate the concern, ask the
customer about the conditions when it occured, or
ask the customer to demonstrate the concern.
8. If you cannot duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
Checking Seat Weight Sensors After a
Vehicle Collision
1. Position the front passenger's seat to the rear most
position, adjust the seat-back to the forward most
position. Do not move the seat from this position.
2. Drive the vehicle, accelerate to 20 mph (36 km/h),
then stop on level ground.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC)
(A).
A
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle
and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-208).
7. From the SRS inspection menu, select Seat Weight
Sensor, then Misc test, then SEAT OUTPUT CHK
and follow the prompts until the ODS operation
check has been completed.
