SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM – GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1994 CAMRY is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the
driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct
sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deployed during servicing, possibly leading
to a serious accident. Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental restraint
system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate when required. Before performing servicing
(including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the
following items carefully, then follow the correct procedure described in the repair manual.
1. Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint system are difficult to confirm, so the
diagnostic trouble codes become the most important source of information when troubleshoot–
ing. When troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system, always inspect the diagnostic
trouble codes before disconnecting the battery (See page RS–61).
2. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch turned to the ”LOCK”
position and the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The supple–
mental restraint system is equipped with a back–up power source so that if work is started
within 90 seconds of disconnecting the negative (–) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS
may be deployed.) When the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery,
memory of the clock and audio systems will be canceled. So before starting work, make a
record of the contents memorized by the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset
the audio systems as before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory of each
memory system, never use a back–up power supply from outside the vehicle.
3. Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, and the front airbag sensors,
the steering wheel pad and front passenger airbag assembly should be inspected (See page RS–
17, 29, 43 and 46).
4. Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts.
5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the sensors during
repairs.
6. Never disassemble and repair the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or steering
wheel pad or front passenger airbag assembly in order to reuse it.
7. If the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly or steering wheel pad or front
passenger airbag assembly have been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or dents or other
defects in the case, bracket or connector, replace them with new ones.
8. Do not expose the front airbag sensors, center airbag sensor assembly, steering wheel pad and
front passenger airbag assembly directly to hot air or flames.
9. Use a volt/ohmmeter with high impedance (10 k/V minimum) of troubleshooting of the
electrical circuit.
10. Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instructions
on the notices.
11. After work on the supplemental restraint system is completed, perform the SRS warning light
check (See page RS–61).
12. If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the IN
section.
RS–3
FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
1. Never reuse the front airbag sensor involved in a collision when the airbag has deployed. (Replace
both the left and right airbag sensors.)
2. Install the front airbag sensor with the arrow on the sensor facing toward the front of the vehicle.
3. The front airbag sensor set bolts have been anti–rust treated.
When the sensor is removed, always replace the set bolts with new ones.
4. The front airbag sensors is equipped with an electrical connection check mechanism. Be sure to
lock this mechanism securely when connecting the connector.
If the connector is not securely locked, a malfunction code will be detected by the diagnosis
system (See page RS–13).
SPIRAL CABLE (in COMBINATION SWITCH)
The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering column with the spiral cable at the
neutral position, otherwise cable disconnection and other troubles may result. Refer to page RS
–20 of this manual concerning correct steering wheel installation.
RS–4
STEERING WHEEL PAD (with AIRBAG)
1. When removing the steering wheel pad or handling a new steering wheel pad, it should be
placed with the pad top surface facing up.
In this case, the twin–lock type connector lock lever should be in the locked state and care
should be taken to place it so the connector will not be damaged. And do not store a steering
wheel pad on top of another one. (Storing the pad with its metallic surface up may lead to a
serious accident if the airbag inflates for some reason.
2. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.

(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
3. Grease should not be applied to the steering wheel pad and the pad should not be cleaned
with detergents of any kind.
4. Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient temperature below 93C (200 F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
5. When using electric welding, first disconnect the airbag connector (yellow color and 2 pins)
installed on the glove compartment finish plate at the left side of the glove compartment
before starting work.
6. When disposing of a vehicle or the steering wheel pad alone, the airbag should be deployed
using an SST before disposal (See page RS–23). Perform the operation in a place away from
electrical noise.
RS–5
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

1. Always store a removed or new front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag door facing
up. Store the airbag assembly with the airbag door facing down could cause a serious
accident if the airbag inflates.
2. Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.

(This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
3. Grease should not be applied to the front passenger airbag and the door should not be cleaned
with detergents of any kind.
4. Store the front passenger airbag assembly where the ambient temperature remains below
93C (200F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
5. When using electric welding, first disconnect the airbag connector (yellow color and 2 pins)
installed on the glove compartment finish plate at the left side of the glove compartment
before starting work.
6. When disposing of a vehicle or the front passenger airbag assembly alone, the airbag should
be deployed using an SST before disposal (See page RS–36). Perform the operation in a place
away from electrical noise.
RS–6
CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
1. Never. reuse the center airbag sensor assembly involved in a collision when the airbag has
deployed.
2. The connectors to the center airbag sensor assembly should be connected or disconnected
with the sensor mounted on the floor. If the connectors are connected or disconnected while
the center airbag sensor assembly is not mounted to the floor, it could cause undesired
ignition of the supplemental restraint system.
3. Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to ”LOCK”
position and the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery even just
loosing the set bolts of center airbag sensor assembly.
WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
The SRS wire harness is integrated with the cowl wire harness assembly. The wires for the SRS
wire harness are encased in a yellow corrugated tube. All the connectors for the system are also
a standard yellow color. If the SRS wire harness becomes disconnected or the connector
becomes broken due to an accident etc., repair or replace it as shown on page RS–49.
RS–7
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM – DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), together with the seat belt, is designed to help protect
the driver. In a collision, the airbag sensor detect the shock, and if the front–to–rear shock is
greater than a specified value, an airbag stored in the steering wheel pad and front passenger
airbag assembly are inflated instantaneously. These operation help to reduce the shock to the
driver and front passenger airbag assembly.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM – OPERATION
OPERATION
FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
1. FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR
A front airbag sensor is mounted inside each of the
front fenders. The sensor unit is a mechanical type.
When the sensor detects deceleration force above a
predetermined limit in a collision, the contacts in the
sensor make contact, sending a signal to the center
airbag sensor assembly. The sensor cannot be dis–
assembled.
2. SPIRAL CABLE (in COMBINATION SWITCH)
A spiral cable is used as an electrical joint from the
vehicle body side to the steering wheel.
3. STEERING WHEEL PAD (with AIRBAG)

The inflater and bag of the supplemental restraint
system are stored in the steering wheel pad and
cannot be disassembled. The inflater contains a squib,
ignite charge, gas generant, etc., and inflates the bag
in case of a frontal collision.
4. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

The inflater and bag of the supplemental restraint
system are stored in the front passenger airbag as–
sembly and cannot be disassernbled. The inflater con–
tains a squib, igniter charge, gas generant, etc., and
inflates the bag in case of a frontal collision.
5. SRS WARNING LIGHT

The SRS warning light is located on the combination
meter. It goes on the alert the driver of trouble in the
system when a malfunction is detected in the center
airbag sensor assembly self – diagnosis. In normal
operating condition when the ignition switch is turned
to the ACC or ON position, the light goes on for about
6 seconds and then goes off.
RS–11
6. CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY

The center airbag sensor assembly is mounted on the
floor inside the console box. The center airbag sensor
assembly consists of a center airbag sensor, saving
sensors, ignition control and drive circuit, diagnosis
circuit, etc. It receives signals from the airbag sensors,
judges whether the SRS must be activated or not and
diagnosis system malfunctions.
7. SRS CONNECTORS
A11 connectors in the supplemental restraint system
are colored yellow to distinguish them from other
connectors. Connectors having special function and
specifically designed for SRS are used in the locations
shown below to ensure high reliability. These connec–
tors use durable gold–plated terminals.

RS–12
(1) Terminal Twin–Lock Mechanism

Each connector has a two–piece construction con–
sisting of a housing and a spacer. This design secures
the locking of the terminal by two locking devices (the
spacer and the lance) to prevent terminals from
coming out.
(2) Airbag Activation Prevention Mechanism

Each connector contains a short spring plate. When
the connector is disconnected, The short spring plate
automatically connects the power source and ground–
ing terminals of the squib.
• When Connector is Connected • When Connector is Disconnected
• When Connector is Connected • When Connector is Disconnected
HINT: The illustration shows connectors S and¿¿.

Connector (1) has a short spring plate on the female
terminal side, but the operating principle is the same.
RS–13
(3) Electrical Connection Check Mechanism

This mechanism is designed to electrically check if
connectors are connected correctly and completely.
The electrical connection check mechanism is desig–
ned so that the connection detection pin connects
with the diagnosis terminals when the connector hou–
sing lock is in the locked condition.
• Half Connection • Complete Connection
HINT: The illustration shows connector (5) Connector

(1) also has the same operating principle.
RS–14
(4) Connector Twin–Lock Mechanism

With this mechanism connectors (male and female
connectors) are locked by two locking devices to
increase connection reliability. If the primary lock is
incomplete, ribs interfere and prevent the secondary
lock.
RS–15
When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in

the hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than
a predetermined level, the SRS is activated automati–
cally. Safing sensors are designed to go on at a sma–
ller deceleration rate than the front and center airbag
sensors. As illustrated in Fig. 2 below, ignition is
caused when current flows to the squib, which hap–
pens when a safing sensor and a front airbag sensor
and/or the center airbag sensor go on simultaneously.
When a deceleration force acts on the sensor, it
causes the squib to ignite. Gas is then generated,
increasing the pressure inside the bag rapidly. The
inflated bag breaks open the steering wheel pad and
front passenger airbag assembly. Bag inflation then
ends, and the gas is discharged through discharge
holes provided behind the bag. The bag becomes
deflated as a result.

NOTICE: Tighten the bolts by hand until the bolts become
difficult to turn.
Do not tighten the bolts too much.
(b) Using a service–purpose wire harness for vehicle tie
down the steering wheel pad to the disc wheel.
Wire harness:
Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm2 or more
(0.002 in2 or more)
HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire
harness section
Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4
CAUTION: If a wire harness which is too thin or some
other thing is used to tie down the steering wheel pad it
may be snapped by the chock when the airbag is deplo–
yed, this is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness
for vehicle use which is at least 1.25 mm2 (0.002 in2.).
(1) Using 3 wire harnesses, wrap the wire harnesses at
least 2 times each around the bolts installed on the
left and right sides of the steering wheel pad.
CAUTION: Tightly wind the wire harness around the
bolts so that there is no slack.
If there is slackness in the wire harness, the steering
wheel pad may come loose due to the shock when the
airbag is deployed, this is highly dangerous.

upward.
Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering
wheel pad to the disc wheel through the hub nut
holes.
Position the steering wheel pad connector so that it
hangs downward through a hub hole in the disc wheel.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very
dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in
the steering wheel pad coming free through the
shock of the airbag deploying.
• Always tie down the steering wheel pad with the
pad side facing upward. It is very dangerous if the
steering wheel pad is tied down with the metal surface
facing upward as the wire harness will be
cut by the shock of the airbag deploying and the
steering wheel pad will be thrown into the air.

RS–56
HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING

Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental restraint system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic trou–
ble codes become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. Perform troubleshooting
of the supplemental restraint system in accordance with the following procedure:
HINT: Do not disconnect the battery negative (–) terminal cable until step [3] , Diagnostic Trouble Code
Check and Recording, has been completed.
[1] CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Using the CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK SHEET (See page RS–60) for reference, ask the
customer in as much detail as possible about the problem.
[2] WARNING LIGHT CHECK

Check the SRS warning light. If the light remains on, a malfunction is stored in the center airbag sensor,
assembly, so proceed to step [3] . If the SRS warning light is not on, a malfunction has occurred in the
SRS warning light circuit, so perform troubleshooting for SRS Warning Light System Malfunction.
HINT: Code 22 is recorded when a malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system.
If an open malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system, the SRS warning light does not light up,
so that until the malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic trouble codes cannot be confirmed.
[3] DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK AND RECORDING

Check the diagnostic trouble codes and make a note of any malfunction codes which are output. If a
normal code is output, an abnormality in the power source circuit may have occurred, so perform
troubleshooting for source voltage in step [8] .
If code 22 is output, skip steps [4] and [5] and proceed to step [7] .
[4] MALFUNCTION CODE CLEARANCE

Clear the malfunction code.
HINT: The malfunction code output in step [3] indicates that a malfunction has occurred in the circuit
designated by the malfunction code, but does not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or
whether it was in the past. ,
Accordingly, it is necessary to find out the present condition of the malfunction occurrence by clearing
the malfunction code and performing the diagnostic trouble code check again. If this operation is
neglected and troubleshooting is performed using only the malfunction code confirmed in step [3] ,
isolating the problem component becomes difficult and invites mistaken diagnosis.
[5] DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK AND RECORDING

After repeating ignition switch ON–OFF operation (ON: wait 20 secs., OFF: wait 20 secs.) 5 times, check
the diagnostic trouble code. If any code is output, the malfunction is still occurring, so proceed to step
[7].
Bearing in mind that a malfunction code was registered in step [3] , provided that the normal code is
presently output, use the methods described in step [6] to simulate the malfunction.
NOTICE: When connecting the battery after clearing the malfunction code, always do it with the
ignition switch in ”LOCK” position. When the battery has been reconnected, turn the ignition switch
to ACC or ON position after at least 2 seconds have elapsed.
If the battery is reconnected with the ignition switch in ACC or ON position, or the ignition switch is
turned to ACC or ON within 2 seconds of connecting the battery, it is possible that the diagnosis
system will not operate normally.
RS–57
[6] SYMPTOM SIMULATION
[7] DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART

Proceed to the appropriate flow chart in step [8] in accordance with the malfunction code found in
step [5] or [6] .
[8] CIRCUIT INSPECTION [9] REPAIR
Find out if the problem lies in a sensor, actuator or wire harness and connector, and repair the prob-
lem.
After the problem part is repaired, reinstall the disassembled parts. Do not start work until 90 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position and the negative (–) terminal cable is dis–
connected.
CAUTION: If incorrect procedure is used, a malfunction may occur in the system or there is
the danger that airbag may be accidentally deploy during the repair operation. Carefully read
the GENERAL DESCRIPTION (See page RS–2) and the cautions for each operation, perform
repairs in the correct order using the correct methods.
HINT: The following illustration for the CIRCUIT INSPECTION shows each connector for the SRS
squib circuit.
RS–58
[10] MALFUNCTION CODE CLEARANCE

When all the malfunction codes found in steps [5] and [6] have been repaired, clear the malfunction
codes.
[11] DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
After repeating ignition switch ON–OFF operation (ON: wait 20 secs., OFF: wait 20 secs.) 5 times,
check
the diagnostic trouble codes. If a code is displayed, return to step [7] and troubleshoot the displayed
malfunction code.
NOTICE: When connecting the battery after clearing the malfunction code, always do it with the
ignition switch in ”LOCK” position. When the battery has been reconnected, turn the ignition switch
to ACC or ON position after at least 20 seconds have elapsed.
If the battery is reconnected with the ignition switch in ACC or ON position, or the ignition switch is
turned to ACC or ON within 20 seconds of connecting the battery, it is possible that the diagnosis
system will not operate normally.
[12] CONFIRMATION TEST
Check the warning light again and confirm that all the malfunctions have been repaired. If the warning
light indicates and abnormally, repeat the operation again from step [2] .

SRS warning light lights up.
(b) Check that the SRS warning light goes out after approx. 6
seconds.
HINT:
• When the ignition switch is at ACC or ON and the SRS
warning light remains on, the center airbag sensor as–
seemly has detected a malfunction code.
• If, after approx. 6 seconds have elapsed, the SRS warn–
ing light sometimes lights up or the SRS warning light
lights up even when the ignition switch is OFF, a short
in the SRS warning light circuit can be considered like–
ly. Proceed to SRS warning light system (always lit up,
when ignition switch LOCK position) on page RS–146.

NOTICE: Never make a mistake with the terminal connec–
tion position as this will cause a malfunction.
RS–62
2. READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE

Read the 2–digit diagnostic trouble code as indicated by the
number of times the SRS warning light blinks. As an
example, the blinking patterns, normal, 11 and 31 are as
shown on the illustration.
• Normal code indication
The light will blink 2 times per second.
• Malfunction code indication
In the event of a malfunction, the light will blink. The
number represented by the first blink code output
indicates the first digit of a 2–digit diagnostic trouble
code. After a 1.5 second pause, the second blink code
will indicate the second digit.
If there are 2 or more codes, there will be a 2.5 second

so that until the malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic trouble codes (including code 22) cannot be con–
firmed.
• When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest numbered code will appear first.
• If a code not listed on the chart is displayed, then the center airbag sensor assembly is faulty.
RS–65
CLEARING OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE

Using diagnosis check wire:
(a) Connect service wires to terminals Tc and AB of the check
connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ACC or ON and wait approx. 6
seconds.
(c) Starting with the Tc terminal, apply body ground alternate–
ly to terminal Tc and terminal AB twice each in cycles of 1.0
±0.5 seconds. (Confirm that body ground is absolute.)
Finally, keep applying body ground to terminal Tc.
HINT: When alternately grounding terminals Tc and AB,
release ground from one terminal and immediately apply
it to the other terminal. This action must be done within the
time limits shown below. If you are not within the time
limits, repeat the above procedure until you clear the
codes.
(d) Several seconds after performing the clearing procedure,

the SRS warning light will blink in a 50 m sec. cycle to
indicate the codes have been cleared.

SYMPTOM SIMULATION
”Intermittent troubles or problems” are the malfunctions about which the customer has a complaint, but
which do not occur and can not be conformed in the workshop. The intermittent problems also include
complaints about the SRS warning light going on and off erratically.
The self–diagnostic system stores the circuit of the intermittent problem in memory even if the ignition switch
is turned off.
And, for accurate diagnosis of the problems, ask the customer to obtain information as much as possible
following the customer problem analysis check sheet (See page RS–60) and try to reproduce the intermittent
problem.
The problem simulation methods described below are the effective ways for this nature of problem to pro–
duce the problem conditions by applying vibration, heat, and humidity.
VIBRATION METHOD: when vibration seems to be the major cause.
CONNECTORS
Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
(inspection of connectors)
(a) Does the wire harness connecting with its cor–
responding part have insufficient slack?
(b) Are the terminals dirty?
(c) Are the terminals making loose contact due to ter–
minals spread?
WIRE HARNESS
Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizon–
tally. The connector joint, fulcrum of the vibration, and
body through portion are the major areas to be checked
thoroughly.
PARTS AND SENSORS

Apply vibration slightly by a finger to the part or sensor
considered to be the problem cause and check if the
malfunction will occur.
CAUTION: Do not apply vibration to the center
airbag sensor assembly.
RS–68
HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the

suspect area is heated.
Heat the component that is likely the cause of the mal–
function with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to
see if the malfunction will occur.
NOTICE:
• Do not heat to more than 60C (140F) (Tempera–
ture limit that the component can be touched with a
hand.).
• Do not apply heat directly to part in the ECU.
WATER SPRINKLING When the malfunction seems to occur on a

METHOD: rainy day or in a high–humidity condition.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if
the malfunction will occur.
NOTICE: Never apply water directly onto the elec-
tronic components.
HINT:
• If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked
water may contaminate the ECU. When testing a ve-
hicle with a water leakage problem, special caution
must be paid.
OTHER: when a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blow-

er, headlights, rear window defogger, etc. and check
to see if the malfunction will occur.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC (Normal) Source Voltage Drop
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The supplemental restraint system is equipped with a voltage – increase circuit (DC–DC converter)
in the center airbag sensor assembly in case the source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage – increase circuit (DC–DC converter) functions to in-
crease the voltage of the supplemental restraint system to normal voltage.
The diagnosis system malfunction display for this circuit is different to other circuits – when the SRS
warning light remains lit up and the diagnostic trouble code is a normal code, source voltage drop
is indicated. Malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the center airbag sensor assembly, and
approx. 10 seconds after the source voltage returns to normal, the SRS warning light automatically
goes off.

DTC 22 SRS Warning Light System Malfunction

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located on the cluster finish panel.
when the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light lights up for approx.6 seconds after the ignition switch
is turned from LOCK position to ACC or ON position, and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light lights up to inform the driver of the
abnormality.
When terminals Tc and E1of the DLC1 or DLC2 are connected, the diagnostic trouble code is dis-
played
by the blinking of the SRS warning light.
The SRS warning light circuit is equipped with an electrical connection check mechanism which de-
tects
when the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not properly connected.
If the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly is not properly connected, the SRS warning light
will not light up.
Diagnostic trouble code 22 is recorded when a malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system. If
an OPEN malfunction occurs in the SRS warning light system, the SRS warning light does not light up,
so that until the malfunction is repaired, the diagnostic trouble codes (including code 22f cannot be
confirmed.
DTC No. Diagnosis
