During the repair process, inspect these areas:
. lnspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't

ignition switch ON(ll). lf the SRS indicator comes on for
about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS airbag
system is OK. lf the indicator does not function properly,
use the PGM Tester SRS Menu Method to read the DTC
