Component Description
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Air bag diagnosis sensor unit | Refer to " AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT ". |
| Driver air bag module | Refer to " DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE ". |
| Front passenger air bag module | Refer to " FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE ". |
| Front side air bag module | Refer to " FRONT SIDE AIR BAG MODULE ". |
| Side curtain air bag module | Refer to " SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE ". |
| Front seat belt pre-tensioner | Refer to " FRONT SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER ". |
| Occupant classification system | Refer to " OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ". |
| Crash zone sensor | Refer to " CRASH ZONE SENSOR ". |
| Side air bag (satellite) sensor | Refer to " SIDE AIR BAG SATELLITE SENSOR ". |
| Front door (satellite) sensor | Refer to " DOOR SATELLITE SENSOR ". |
| Seat belt buckle switch | The seat belt buckle switches (LH/RH) provide the seat belt buckle signals to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit and the combination meter. |
| Spiral cable | The spiral cable provides a rotating physical connection to the driver air bag module. |
| Combination meter | The combination meter displays the air bag warning lamp and the seat belt warning lamp. The air bag warning lamp is used for diagnosis in User Mode and may be used to display diagnostic trouble codes without the use of the CONSULT. |
SRS AIR BAG SYSTEM: System Description
- The air bag deploys if the air bag diagnosis sensor unit is activated while the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
- The collision modes for which supplemental restraint systems are activated are different among the SRS systems. For example, the driver air bag module, front passenger air bag module and front seat belt pre-tensioners are activated in a frontal collision but not in a side collision.
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM: System Description
The occupant classification system (OCS) identifies different size occupants, out of position occupants, and detects if child seat is present in the front passenger seat. The OCS control unit (2) receives inputs from the occupant classification sensors (1) (located inside the passenger seat cushion assembly). Depending on classification of the passenger, the OCS sends a signal to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit uses this signal and the seat belt buckle switch RH signal to determine deployment or non deployment of the passenger front air bag in the event of a collision. Depending on the signals received, the air bag diagnosis sensor unit can disable the passenger front air bag completely. The OCS (weight sensors) must be set to zero point using CONSULT after servicing the OCS system.
Note. CONSULT can be used to confirm when "zero point reset" for OCS is complete. Always perform zero point reset after the removal and installation of the seat or when disconnecting the OCS control unit harness connector even if zero point reset has been completed in the past. If zero point reset is incomplete, the passenger air bag will be disabled and the passenger air bag off indicator will be ON. In case of customer concern, CONSULT can be used to confirm the passenger air bag status (readiness).

Diagnosis Description
| CAUTION | Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this Service Information. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connectors. Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify SRS wiring harnesses. If a harness is damaged, replace it with a new one. Keep ground connections clean. |
ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING CONTROL UNIT: Description
Always perform zero point reset using CONSULT when removing and installing the passenger seat or servicing the occupant classification system.
ZERO POINT RESET: Description
Zero point reset is an initializing procedure for the OCS (weight) sensors that must be performed using CONSULT when removing and installing passenger seat or servicing the OCS system. If zero point reset is not performed, the initialization is incomplete and OCS may not operate normally.
Note. When reinstalling the passenger seat, the initial value for the OCS sensors may change, and the OCS may not operate normally. When zero point reset is performed after removal and installation of passenger seat, CONSULT displays ""complete"".
