OPERATION
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the initialization of the occupant classi-
fication ECU if any of the following conditions occur (see
page DI-1829). If the initialization is not performed, the SRS
may not operate properly.
S The occupant classification ECU is replaced.
S Accessories (seatback tray, seat cover, etc.) are
installed to the vehicle.
S The passenger seat is removed from the vehicle, and
then reinstalled or replaced.
S The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator light ("OFF")
comes on when the passenger seat is not occupied.
S The vehicle is brought to the workshop for repair due
to an accident or collision.
NOTICE:
The sensitivity check method differs according to the front
seat type (separate seat and bench seat, split seat).
1. STEERING WHEEL PAD
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the steering wheel
pad and cannot be disassembled. The inflator contains a squib,
igniter charge, and gas generator, etc., and inflates the bag
when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly. The steering
wheel pad cannot be disassembled.

2. SPIRAL CABLE
A spiral cable is used as an electrical joint from the vehicle body
side to the steering wheel. The spiral cable cannot be disas-
sembled.

3. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the front passen-
ger airbag assembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflator
contains a squib, igniter charge, gas generator, etc., and in-
flates the bag when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly cannot be disassembled.

4. SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the side airbag as-
sembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflator contains a
squib, igniter charge and gas generator, etc., and inflates the
bag when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly. The side
airbag assembly cannot be disassembled.

5. CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
The inflator and bag of the SRS are stored in the curtain shield
airbag assembly and cannot be disassembled. The inflator con-
tains a squib, igniter charge, gas generator, etc., and inflates
the bag when instructed by the airbag sensor assembly. The
curtain shield airbag assembly cannot be disassembled.

w/ Tachometer: 7. SRS WARNING IGHT
The SRS warning light is located on the combination meter. It
comes on to alert the driver of trouble in the system when a mal-
function is detected in the airbag sensor assembly. In normal
operation conditions when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the light comes on for approximately 6 seconds
and then goes off.

H24683
8. AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the floor inside the
lower center finish panel. The airbag sensor assembly consists
of an airbag sensor, safing sensor, diagnosis circuit, ignition
control, drive circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag sen-
sor, front airbag sensor, side and curtain shield airbag sensor
and curtain shield airbag sensor, and judges whether the SRS
must be activated or not. The airbag sensor assembly cannot
H16187 be disassembled.
9. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
The front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the radiator
support. The front airbag sensor consists of an airbag sensor,
diagnosis circuit, etc. It sends signals to the airbag sensor as-
sembly to judge whether the SRS must be activated or not. The
front airbag sensor cannot be disassembled.
H23921
10. SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The side airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH and RH
center pillars. The side airbag sensor assembly consists of an
airbag sensor, diagnosis circuit, etc. It sends signals to the air-
bag sensor assembly to judge whether the SRS must be acti-
vated or not. The side airbag sensor assembly cannot be disas-
sembled.
H20065
RS-6
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM - SRS AIRBAG
11. CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The curtain shield airbag sensor assembly is mounted in the LH
and RH quarter panels. The curtain shield airbag sensor as-
sembly consists of an airbag sensor, diagnosis circuit, etc. It
sends signals to the airbag sensor assembly to judge whether
the SRS must be activated or not. The curtain shield airbag sen-
sor assembly cannot be disassembled.
H24678
12. SEAT POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The seat position sensor assembly is mounted in the front seat
(for driver seat and front passenger seat). The sensor unit con-
sists of a magnet sensor, etc. It judges the seat sliding position
and sends the signal to the airbag sensor assembly. The seat
position sensor assembly cannot be disassembled.
H23923
13. OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ECU
The occupant classification ECU is mounted in the passenger
seat. Based on the information sent from the occupant classifi-
cation ECU, the airbag sensor assembly determines whether
the SRS should be activated or not. The occupant classification
ECU cannot be disassembled.

14. PASSENGER AIRBAG MANUAL AUTO-OFF SWITCH
The passenger airbag manual AUTO-OFF switch is mounted
on the lower center cover or front console box. By turning the
passenger airbag manual AUTO-OFF switch to OFF with the
ignition key, the passenger airbag system can be disabled.
Also, in order to inform the passenger that the front passenger
airbag is disabled, the OFF indicator inside the switch illumi-
nates.

The RSCA OFF switch is located on the switch base. The cur-
tain shield airbag can be switched ON and OFF by pushing the
RCSA OFF switch. Also, the RCSA OFF indicator lamp comes
on to inform the passenger that the curtain shield airbag is dis-
abled.

(a) All connectors in the SRS, except the seat position airbag
sensor connector and occupant classification ECU con-
nectors, are colored yellow to distinguish them from other
connectors. These connectors have special functions,
and are specially designed for the SRS. All SRS connec-
tors use durable gold-plated terminals, and are placed in
the locations shown on the previous page to ensure high
reliability.
Spacer
(1) Terminal Twin-Lock Mechanism
Each connector has a two-piece component con-
sisting of a housing and a spacer. This design al-

lows the terminal to be locked securely by two lock-
ing devices (the retainer and the lance) to prevent
terminals from coming out.
(2) Activation Prevention Mechanism
Each connector contains a short spring plate. When
Female Male Z05953 the connector is disconnected, the short spring
plate automatically connects the positive (+) termi-
nal and negative (-) terminal of the squib.
