lf 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.

2. Erase the DTC memory (see
"Erasing the DTC
Memory").
3. With the shift lever in neutral, start the engine, and

and then go off.
Shake the wire harness and the connectors. take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and

'10
seconds. lf the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
lf you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
