DTC 91-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Short to Ground in the SRS Indicator Circuit

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES  ) and General Troubleshooting Information (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES)  ).
  1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS  ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

    Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 91-1x indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 3.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES  . If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

  3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
  4. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step  7 ).
  5. Remove the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ). Disconnect the gauge control module connector B (18P) from the gauge control module.
