  5. Is DTC present?

    YES 

    NO 

    • Displaying nothing (no DTC) or DTC with label "H" (historical) shows that the fault is intermittent, caused by poor contact in the part's connector and/or SRSCM connector, or was repaired and SRSCM memory was not cleared.

      Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

    • Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
