- 1. Do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function.
Self diagnostic function
Does the SRS indicator blink?
YES
Replace the SRS unit - Refer to: SRS Unit Removal and Installation (2015-17) .
NO
- Fuse check
- 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Check the following fuse.

Go to step 7.
NO
Replace the fuse, then turn the vehicle to the ON mode. If the fuse blows again, check for a short to ground in the under-dash fuse/relay box No. B24 (10 A) fuse circuit (dashboard wire harness); replace the dashboard wire harness, and retest. If the problem is still present, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box .
- Connector connection check
- 1. Check the following connector connections.
SRS unit connector A (39P) Under-dash fuse/relay box connector G (4P) Are the connectors OK?
YES
Go to step 9.
NO
Go to step 8.
- System check 2

- 2. Disconnect the following connector.
SRS unit connector A (39P) - 3. Reconnect the negative cable to the 12 volt battery.
- 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle ON mode SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 39 - Refer to: SRS Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2015-17) Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
The VB wire is OK. Go to step 10.
