Input Test

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service.

  1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and knee bolster (see DASHBOARD COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Disconnect the 10P connector from the integrated control unit.
  3. Remove the integrated control unit from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector and the fuse/relay box socket.
      • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
      • If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
