Connector 

14. Measure the resistance between the No. 15 and No. 16 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There 

should be 1.0 ohms or less.

Is the resistance as specified?  

YES -Faulty right side impact sensor (first) or SRS unit; replace the right side impact sensor (first) (see 
SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST) REPLACEMENT ). If the problem is still present, replace the SRS 
unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Open in the floor wire harness; replace the floor wire harness. 

DTC 43-2X, 43-3X, 43-BX ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE 
LEFT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST)

1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).  

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then 

goes off. 

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 43-2x, 43-3x, or 43-Bx indicated?  

YES -Replace the left side impact sensor (first) (see SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST) 
REPLACEMENT ). If the DTC returns, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see 
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot 
the DTC. 

DTC 44-2X, 44-3X, 44-BX ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE 
RIGHT SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST) 

1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).  

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then 

goes off. 

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 44-2x, 44-3x, or 44-Bx indicated?  

YES -Replace the right side impact sensor (first) (see SIDE IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST) 
REPLACEMENT ). If the DTC returns, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see 
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot 
the DTC. 

DTC 45-1X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): NO SIGNAL FROM THE LEFT SIDE IMPACT 
SENSOR (SECOND) 

Special Tools Required  



SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A  



SRS simulator lead H 07YAZ-S3AA100

1. Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).  

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then 

goes off. 

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 45-1 x indicated?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see 
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot 
the DTC. 

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.  

4. Check the connections at C551, C652, C603, C602 and the floor wire harness 2P connector at the left side 

impact sensor (second). 

Is the connection OK?  

YES -Go to step 5. 

NO -Repair the poor connection and retest. If DTC 45-1x is still present, go to step 5. 

5. Disconnect the floor wire harness 2P connector (A) from the left side impact sensor (second).

6. Disconnect SRS unit connector C(28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).  

7. Measure the resistance between the No. 17 and No. 18 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There 

should be an open circuit or at least 1 M ohms. 

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and 
Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General 
Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING 
INFORMATION ).

Is the resistance as specified?  

YES -Go to step 8. 

NO -Short in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; replace the 
faulty harness. 

8. Measure the resistance between the No. 17 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and 

between the No. 18 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.

Ground 

Is the resistance as specified?  

YES -Go to step 9. 

NO -Short to ground in the floor wire harness, dashboard wire harness A, or the roof wire harness; 
replace the faulty harness. 

9. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.  

10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
