Chart F Tech 1 Cannot Communicate With SRS









CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When system voltage is applied to the center sensor assembly, it will perform the "Primary Check" followed by the "Constant Check." When a fault is detected, the center sensor assembly will Store a DTC and illuminate the "AIR BAG" indicator. When a DTC is stored, the safety circuit (inside the center sensor assembly) will open, preventing [1][2]SRS operation. All faults must be repaired and all DTCs must he cleared before the safety circuit closes, allowing the SRS to function normally.
