Scan Tool Testing and Procedures
CAUTION:- Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS harness connectors unless instructed. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses (except satellite sensor and side air bag module) covered with yellow insulation tape either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
- Do not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged, replace it with a new one.
- Keep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using "AIR BAG" warning lamp, "SEAT BELT" warning lamp and/or CONSULT-II. The reading of these results is accomplished using one of two modes - "User mode" and "Diagnosis mode".
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system malfunction through the operation of the "AIR BAG" warning lamp and/or "SEAT BELT" warning lamp. The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the "AIR BAG" warning lamp, "SEAT BELT" warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as follows:
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-II
- "SELF-DIAG [CURRENT]"
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring repairs.
- "SELF-DIAG [PAST]"
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory (also indicated by the warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis mode) are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
- "TROUBLE DIAG RECORD"
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen.
- "ECU DISCRIMINATED NO."
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification number. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, as shown at left. When replacing the diagnosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a correct unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-II screen.
For INFINITI Q45, the diagnosis sensor unit classification number assigned is 2E.
