Special Tool(s)

The symptom chart can be used to help locate supplemental restraint system (SRS) concerns if no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are retrieved and the listed symptoms are observed. Whether or not the listed symptoms are observed, always carry out the following:
1. Retrieve all SRS DTCs stored in the restraints control module (RCM) memory.
2. Run the self-test to determine what on-demand and continuous memory DTCs are being sensed by the RCM.
3. If on-demand DTCs are different than continuous memory DTCs, always repair the on-demand DTCs first.

A DTC can indicate several concerns. The DTCs are to assist in system diagnosis and are not to be considered definitive. Always refer to the pinpoint test corresponding to the DTC to determine where the concern lies and to repair the concern correctly. Pinpoint Tests
