CLEARING FAULT CODES 

Connect Hand-Held Tester (965 589 00 01) to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located in right rear corner 
of engine compartment. It may be necessary to use Adapter (965 589 00 40 or 965 589 00 50) to connect HHT 
to DLC. After HHT displays module number and version, press return key to start sequence. Using HHT, 
follow HHT prompts to clear SRS fault codes. SRS codes are clear when ignition is turned on and SRS warning 
light functions normally. See SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK . 

UNDERSTANDING DIAGNOSTIC CHART INFORMATION 

SRS & ETR Diagnosis Chart Column Identification 

First column of chart identifies TEST STEP (1.0 for example). See Fig. 10 . Second column of chart identifies 
HHT fault code (017, 003 for example). First code in column is for vehicles without side air bags. Second code 
in column (when listed) is for vehicles with side air bags only. Other 5 columns are self-explanatory. 

Using SRS & ETR Diagnosis Chart 

For reading and understanding fault code diagnosis chart, use the following example: Read test step 3.0 (first 
column), HHT fault Code 002, 004 (second column). See Fig. 10 . Read TEST SCOPE-HHT ACTUAL 
VALUE NO.-TEXT column (third column). Driver-side air bag squib connector R12-3 is being tested. HHT 
will identify if problem is with too much resistance or not enough resistance in driver-side air bag squib circuit. 
Read TEST CONDITION column (fifth column). Test circuit with HHT connected to DLC, with ignition in 
position "2". Read NOMINAL VALUE-HHT DISPLAY column (sixth column). HHT will display a check or 
an "F". If HHT displays a check, circuit is okay. If HHT displays an "F", go to step 3.1. 

Read TEST CONNECTION (NOT FOR HHT) column (forth column). Driver-Side air bag squib connector 
R12-3, terminals No. 1 and 2 are identified. Read TEST CONDITION column. Test circuit with HHT 
connected to DLC and ignition key removed. Remove driver-side air bag module. Disconnect driver-side air 
bag module squib connector R12-3. Connect Resistance Substitution Unit (124 589 09 63) to driver-side air bag 
module squib connector (harness side). Set resistance substitution unit to 2 ohms. Turn ignition key to position 
"2". Read NOMINAL VALUE-HHT DISPLAY column. If HHT displays a check, replace driver-side air bag 

NOTE:

Refer to table to properly identify components or connectors being tested. See 
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION table.

module. If HHT displays an "F", go to step 3.2.

Read TEST CONNECTION (NOT FOR HHT) column. Horn-air bag clockspring connector A45x1, terminals 
No. 1 and 2 are identified. Read TEST CONDITION column. Test circuit with HHT connected to DLC. 
Remove ignition key. Connect Resistance Substitution Unit (124 589 09 63 00) to horn-air bag clockspring 
connector A45x1. Set resistance substitution unit to 2 ohms. Read NOMINAL VALUE-HHT DISPLAY 
column. If HHT displays a check, check horn-air bag clockspring for continuity. Replace horn-air bag 
clockspring as necessary. If HHT displays an "F", go to step 3.4.
