Is the resistance as specified?

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

NO - Short in dashboard wire harness A or engine compartment wire harness; replace the faulty
harness.

DTC 41-2X, 41-8X, 41-9X, 41-BX ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): INTERNAL FAILURE
OF THE LEFT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR; DTC 42-2X, 42-8X, 42-9X, 42-BX ("X" CAN BE 0
THRU 9 OR A THRU F): INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR

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 41-2x, 41-8X, 41-9x, 41-Bx, 42-2x, 42-8x, 42-9x, or 42-Bx
indicated?

YES - Replace the left or right front impact sensor (see FRONT IMPACT SENSOR
REPLACEMENT ). If the DTC returns, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

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

DTC 43-1X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): NO SIGNAL FROM THE LEFT SIDE
IMPACT SENSOR (FIRST)

Special Tools Required

NOTE:

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

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 43-1 x indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

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

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

4. Check the connections between SRS unit connector C (28P) and the SRS unit, between the left side

wire harness 2P connector and the left side impact sensor (first), at left wire harness 16P connector
C604 and right wire harness connector C604 (see LEFT SIDE WIRE HARNESS (FRONT
BRANCH) ).

Are the connections OK?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Repair the poor connections and retest. If the DTC 43-1 x is still present, go to step 5.

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

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Short in the left side wire harness or right side wire harness; replace the faulty harness.

8. Measure the resistance between the No. 11 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground,

and between the No. 12 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least
1Mohms.

9. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

11. Measure the voltage between the No. 11 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground,

and between the No. 12 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.

Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Short to power in the left side wire harness or right side wire harness; replace the faulty harness.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

13. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector) and simulator lead H to the left side wire

harness 2P connector (A).
