Troubleshooting Hints
- Improper engaged connector or defective short spring*
- Short circuit in the clock spring
- Short circuit between the driver's air bag module (squib) circuit terminals
- Damaged connector(s)
- Malfunction of the SRS-ECU
NOTE:
*: The squib circuit connectors integrate a "short" spring (which prevents the air bag from deploying unintentionally due to static electricity by shorting the positive wire to the ground wire in the squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected) (Refer to GENERAL DESCRIPTION
). Therefore, if connector C-12, C-205 or C-201 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short spring may not be released when the connector is connected.
