DTC 87-3x

DTC 87-3 ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator Stays On/Off

NOTE: Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures and General Troubleshooting Information.

1. Clear the DTC memory.
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 87-32 indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

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

3. Check the side airbag cutoff indicator as the key is turned OFF and back ON.

Does the indicator come on for 6 seconds and go off?

YES - Replace the ODS unit.

NO - Go to step 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat.
5. Disconnect the ODS unit harness 18P connector (A) from the ODS unit.






6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
7. Measure the voltage between the No.18 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be battery voltage.






Is there battery voltage?

YES - Faulty ODS unit or gauge control module; replace the ODS unit. If the problem is still present, replace the gauge control module.

NO - Go to step 8.

8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Remove the gauge control module. Disconnect gauge control module connector A (20P) from the gauge control module.






10. Measure the resistance between the No.18 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Short to ground in the ODS unit harness, SRS wire harness, or dashboard wire harness; replace the faulty harness.

11. Measure the resistance between the No.18 terminal of the ODS unit harness 18P connector and the No.3 terminal of gauge control module connector A (20P). There should be 0-1.0 ohms.






Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Replace the gauge control module.

NO - Open in the ODS unit harness, SRS harness, dashboard wire harness A; replace the faulty harness.
