SRS Warning Light Remains ON: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are output A
      DTC is not output B

    A → See step   9 

    B: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK BATTERY 
    1. Measure the voltage of the battery.

      Standard voltage

      11 to 14 V

    NG → REPLACE OR RECHARGE BATTERY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK CONNECTORS 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and combination meter.

      OK

      The connectors are properly connected.

    NG → CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOURCE VOLTAGE OF CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.

    2. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Operate all the components of the electrical system (defogger, wipers, headlights, heater blower, etc.).
    5. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    NG → REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOURCE VOLTAGE OF COMBINATION METER) 
    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

    2. Disconnect the C50 connector from the combination meter.
    3. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      C50-6 (IG+) - C50-7 (ET) Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V
      C50-5 (B) - C50-7 (ET) Always 11 to 14 V

      (to Combination Meter)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT (SHORT TO GROUND) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
    3. Connect the connector to the combination meter.
    4. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    6. Check the SRS warning light condition.
      NOTE:

      Make sure that nobody is in the vehicle.

      OK

      After the primary check period, the SRS warning light goes off for approximately 10 seconds and then remains on.

      HINT: 

      The primary check period is approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK → See step   7 

  7. REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  8. GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  9. REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS. Refer to  DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
