Plotting Snapshot Graph

This test selects several necessary items from the data list to plot graphs and makes data comparison on a long term basis. It is an effective test particularly in emission related evaluations.

For trouble diagnosis, you can collect graphic data (snap shot) directly from the vehicle.

You can replay the snapshot data as needed. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is possible, even though the vehicle is not available.

The SDM in Driver-Passenger SRS can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for up to 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "OFF," the battery is disconnected, or the fuse powering the SDM is removed.

Many of the service procedures require removal of the "SRS-1" fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected from the deployment loop as noted in the "Disabling the SRS" procedure that follows, service can begin immediately without waiting for the 15 second time period to expire.
