General Precautions

Please read the following precautions carefully before servicing the airbag system. Observe the instructions described in this manual, or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.

Scheme 3

1. Except when doing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), ground the SCS line with the HDS to take the PCM out of active status, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes before starting work. NOTE: The SRS memory is not cleared even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
2. Use replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards and quality as the original parts. Do not install used SRS parts. Use only new parts when making SRS repairs.
3. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
4. Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always disconnect the SRS connector.
5. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
6. Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
7. The original audio system and navigation system have a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the anti-theft codes and write down the XM audio presets (if equipped) before disconnecting the negative cable from the battery.
8. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter the audio system and the navigation system code (if equipped). Set the clock (on vehicles without navigation).

Cable Reel Alignment

1. Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in the wiring, making the SRS system, remote steering wheel controls, and the horn inoperative. Center the cable reel whenever the following is performed (see step 6 ). Installation of the steering wheel Installation of the cable reel Installation of the steering column Other steering-related adjustment or installation
2. Do not disassemble the cable reel.
3. Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
4. If the cable reel shows any signs of damage, replace it with a new one. For example, if it does not rotate smoothly, replace the cable reel.

DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)

The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it to locate the causes of system problems and then store this information in memory. For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit.

1. When you turn the ignition switch ON (II), the SRS indicator comes on. If it goes off after 6 seconds, the system is normal, and is not currently detecting any abnormality.
2. If there is an abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem, stores this information in memory, and turns the SRS indicator on. The data remains in the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off or if the battery is disconnected.
3. The data is stored in memory as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
4. The "x" at the end of each DTC denotes a numeric character (0 thru 9) or an alpha character (A thru F) that is displayed on the HDS.
5. DTCs are either latching or resetting depending on the malfunction. With resetting DTCs, the SRS indicator goes off the next time the ignition switch is turned ON and the system is normal, but the DTC is still stored. With latching DTCs, the SRS indicator does not turn OFF until the malfunction is repaired and the DTC is cleared.
6. When you connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), you can retrieve a more detailed DTC in the Honda Systems "SRS" menu.
7. After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with the troubleshooting procedure for that code.

Precautions

1. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output could damage the airbag circuit or cause accidental airbag deployment and possible injury.
2. Whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or has been turned OFF for less than 3 minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
3. Before you remove the dashboard wire harness, floor wire harness, or the side curtain wire harness, disconnect the driver's airbag connector, the front passenger's airbag connector, both side airbag connectors, both side curtain airbag connectors, both seat belt tensioner connectors, and both seat belt buckle tensioner connectors.
4. Make sure the battery is sufficiently fully charged. If the battery is dead or low, measuring values may not be correct.
5. Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the SRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect the SRS unit terminals or the sensor terminals with a jumper wire. Use only the backprobe set and the multimeter. Backprobe spring-loaded lock type connectors correctly.

Airbags

The SRS is a safety device which, when used with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the SRS unit, including safing sensor and impact sensor (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag (C), the front passenger's airbag (D), side airbags (E), side curtain airbags (F), seat belt tensioners (G), seat belt buckle tensioners (H), side impact sensors (first) (I), front impact sensors (J), roll rate sensor (K) and side impact sensors (second) (L), since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate. This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that the SRS unit determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

Front Passenger's Weight Sensors

The ODS unit (M) is in the front passenger's seat-back. The front passenger's weight sensors (N) are part of the seat. The weight sensors detect the weight on the seat, and sends the information to the ODS unit. If the total weight is about 65 lbs

(30 kg) or less, the ODS unit sends a signal to the SRS unit to prevent the font passenger's airbag from deploying. When the front passenger's airbag is disabled, the passenger airbag cutoff indicator on the center panel comes on to alert the driver that the front passenger's airbag will not deploy in a front-end collision.

Driver's Seat Position Sensor

The driver's seat position sensor (O) is under the driver's seat on the left side. When the driver's seat is moved to its full forward position, the deployment of the driver's airbag is moderated to decrease its force of impact during a front-end collision.

Scheme 35

Roll Rate Sensor

The roll rate sensor is located under the front passenger's seat. It detects the amount of roll of the vehicle and sends the information to the SRS unit. The SRS unit uses this information to determine if a vehicle rollover is imminent. If so, it deploys both side curtain airbags and the front seat belt tensioners.

Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator/ODS Operation

The indicator comes on if the front passenger's seat is occupied by a small adult or child who is leaning into the deployment path, or an object (grocery bag, briefcase, purse, etc.) is in the seat. The OPDS sensor determines the front passenger's size and location, and it sends this information to the ODS unit. When the indicator comes on, the passenger's side airbag is off and will not deploy; there is no problem with the side airbag. If the passenger sits upright or moves to another seat, or you remove the object from the seat, the light should go off. There will be some delay between the occupant's repositioning and when the indicator will turn on or off.

Passenger Airbag Cutoff Indicator

The indicator comes on if the weight of the front passenger is about 65 lbs (30 kg) or less. This indicates the passenger's front airbag is off and will not deploy. The front airbag is shut off to reduce the chance of airbag-caused injuries.

SRS Operation

The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the inflator charges. If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit will keep voltage at a constant level.

Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners

1. A front impact sensor side impact sensor or the roll rate sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor.
2. The microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners.
3. The charges must ignite and deploy the tensioners.

Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)

1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor.
2. The microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that receives the signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.

Side Airbag(s)

1. Aside impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor.
2. The microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However, the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the front passenger's side airbag if the SRS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that receives the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.

Side Curtain Airbag(s)

1. Side impact sensor or the roll rate sensor must activate and send electrical signals to the microprocessor.
2. The microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side curtain airbag and side airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflator that receives the signals must ignite and deploy the side curtain airbag and side airbag at the same time.

Scheme 36

Self-diagnostic System

A self-diagnostic circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the system is operating normally.

If the indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be read with the HDS when it is connected to the DLC (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Note. Before you disconnect the negative cable from the battery for troubleshooting, make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio system and the navigation system (if equipped).

Airbag and Tensioner Disposal

Special Tools Required

Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500

Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioner (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the part(s) must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the Acura District Parts & Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the part(s). Only after the part(s) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the parts appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.

Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle

If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, seat belt tensioners, and seat belt buckle tensioner should be deployed while still in the vehicle. These parts should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.

Place the deployment tool at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle. NOTE: The driver's and front passenger's airbags have dual inflators. Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and clip an alligator clip to each pair.
11. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool. If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the component. Go to «DISPOSAL OF DAMAGED COMPONENTS»(/acura/rdx/i-2006-2009/remont/airbag/#srs-supplemental-restraint-system__disposal-of-damaged-components) . If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
12. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible: A loud noise and rapid inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation). If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure. If a component does not deploy, and the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to «DISPOSAL OF DAMAGED COMPONENTS»(/acura/rdx/i-2006-2009/remont/airbag/#srs-supplemental-restraint-system__disposal-of-damaged-components) . During deployment, the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait for 30 minutes after deployment before touching the airbags.
13. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal it securely. Dispose of the deployed airbag according to your local regulations.
