Special Tools Required 

SRS Inflator Simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A 

SRS Simulator Lead L 070AZ-SNAA300 

NOTE: 

• Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, find out if the vehicle was in a collision. If so, verify that all the required components were replaced with new components of the correct part number, and that they were properly installed .
• Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures , General Troubleshooting Information , and 12 Volt Battery Terminal Disconnection and Reconnection .
• Before replacing the SRS unit, check the SRS unit software version with the HDS. If the software version is not the latest, update the SRS unit software , and retest.

DTC (SRS)

• 1. DTC check:

  - 1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS .

  - 2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then wait for 10 seconds.

  - 3. Check for DTCs with the HDS .

  DTC Description	DTC
  B0096-87 No signal from the right side impact sensor (first)
  B0097-87 No signal from the right side impact sensor (second)

  Are DTCs indicated?

  Only DTC B0096-87

  Go to step 2.

  DTC B0096-87 and DTC B0097-87

  Replace the right side impact sensor (first) - Refer to: Side Impact Sensor (First) Removal and InstallationSide Impact Sensor (Second) Removal and Installation , then clear the DTC.

  NO DTC

  Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures . If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

• 2. Shorted wire check (RS1+ line to RS1- line):

  - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

  - 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the 12 volt battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.

  - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

  SRS unit connector B (39P)

  Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness)

  - 4. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
  	SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
  	Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26
  Test point 2	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 27

  Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

  YES 

  The RS1+ and RS1- wires are not shorted. Go to step 3.

  NO 

  Short to another wire in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

• 3. Shorted wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines):

  - 1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
  	SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
  	Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26
  Test point 2	Body ground

  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 27
  Test point 2	Body ground

  Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

  YES 

  The RS1+ and RS1- wires are not shorted. Go to step 4.

  NO 

  Short to ground in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

• 4. Shorted wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines to power):

  - 1. Reconnect the negative cable to the 12 volt battery.

  - 2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

  - 3. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
  	SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
  	Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26
  Test point 2	Body ground

  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 27
  Test point 2	Body ground

  Is there 0.2 V or less?

  YES 

  The RS1+ and RS1- wires are not shorted to power. Go to step 5.

  NO 

  Short to power in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

• 5. Open wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines):

  - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

  - 2. Connect the black terminal (A) of SRS simulator lead L to the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector), then connect SRS simulator lead L to the right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (B) on the floor wire harness.

  - 3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

  Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
  	SRS unit connector B (39P): disconnected
  	Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
  	Right side impact sensor (first) 4P connector (on the floor wire harness): connected to SRS simulator lead L
  Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 26
  Test point 2	SRS unit connector B (39P) No. 27

  Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

  YES 

  The RS1+ and RS1- wires are OK. Replace the right side impact sensor (first) - Refer to: Side Impact Sensor (First) Removal and InstallationSide Impact Sensor (Second) Removal and Installation , then clear the DTC, and retest. If the DTC is still present, replace the SRS unit .

  NO 

  Open in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.
