Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead J 070AZ-SNAA100
- SRS short canceller 070AZ-SAA0100

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
4. Disconnect the driver's airbag 4P connector (A) from the cable reel.






5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 ohms connectors) and SRS simulator lead J to the cable reel.
6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
7. Clear the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 11-3x or 11-6x indicated?
