AIRBAG SYSTEM SRS Warning Light Remains ON
| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| SRS Warning Light Remains ON |
DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located in the combination meter assembly.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from off to ON, and then goes off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light comes on to inform the driver of a problem.
When terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 are connected, DTCs are displayed by blinking of the SRS warning light.
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assembly in case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the voltage of the SRS to normal voltage. In addition, when the voltage drops, the SRS warning light will illuminate.
A malfunction in this circuit is not stored in the airbag sensor assembly. The SRS warning light automatically goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.
The signal to illuminate the SRS warning light is transmitted from the airbag sensor assembly to the combination meter assembly via the CAN communication system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
