DTC A2-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Faulty Power Supply (VB Line)

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. Check the No. 22 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 2.

    NO  -Replace the fuse, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the fuse blows again, check for a short to ground in the under-dash fuse/relay box No. 22 (10 A) fuse line, in dashboard wire harness; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.

  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
  3. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step  7 ).
  4. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
  5. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 18 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P) and body ground. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure the voltage. There should be battery voltage.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Faulty SRS unit or poor contact at SRS unit connector A (28P) and the SRS unit; check the connection. If the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT  ).

    Is the resistance as specified? 

    YES  -Open in the under-dash fuse/relay box or poor contact between connector S (2P) and the under-dash fuse/relay box; check the connection. If the connection is OK, replace the under-dash fuse/ relay box (see REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).

    NO  -Open in the dashboard wire harness; replace the dashboard wire harness.
