With Manufacturer's Scan Tool
Reading the DTCWhen the SRS indicator is on, read the DTC using either of the following methods:
HDS "SRS" Menu Method
Connect the HDS to the 16Pdata link connector (DLC)(A), and follow the HDS prompts in the "SRS" menu. If the HDS indicates no DTC, DTC 9-1, or DTC 9-2, double-check by using the "SCS" menu method.
HDS "SCS" Menu Method (Retrieving the flash codes)
The SRS indicator indicates the DTC by the number of blinks when the HDS is connected to the DLC (data link connector) (16P).
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (16P) (A), and follow the HDS prompts in the "SCS" menu -to ground the SCS line.
3. Make sure the SCS line is grounded, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). The SRS indicator (B) should come on for about 6 seconds, and then go off. Then it will blink to indicate the DTC.
- Including the most recent problem, up to three different DTCs can be displayed.
- In case of a continuous failure, the DTC will be indicated repeatedly.
- In case of an intermittent failure, the SRS indicator will indicate the DTC one time, then it will stay on.
- If a continuous and an intermittent failure occur, both DTCs will be indicated as continuous failures.
- In case the system is normal (no DTC), the SRS indicator will stay on.
