With Hard DTCs/ Lamp Fault Codes
DIAGNOSING CUSTOMER CONCERNS WITH HARD DTC'SWARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
Most air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require the use of the deactivation and reactivation procedures.
The deactivation and reactivation require the installation and removal of restraint system diagnostic tools. These procedures require removal of driver air bag module, and the disconnection of the passenger air bag module. This reduces the risk of deployment of air bag modules and safety belt pretensioners while diagnostics are being carried out.
Restraint system diagnostic tools are required to carry out diagnosis and testing of the supplemental restraint system (SRS). It is not acceptable to short-circuit the air bag module connections with a jumper wire. If a jumper wire is used to short-circuit the air bag module connections, a lamp fault code (LFC) will be displayed.
WARNING: The restraint system diagnostic tool is for restraint system service only. Remove from vehicle prior to road use. Failure to remove could result in injury and possible violation of vehicle safety standards.
The reactivation procedure requires the removal of any restraint system diagnostic tools installed and the reconnection of any air bag modules disconnected.
