Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information
998 8695 TEST DEVICE 998 8695 Test Device
Condition
If resistance in the circuit is too high or capacitance too low for over 10 seconds, diagnostic trouble code (DTC) SRS-242 is stored.

Possible source

Resistance too high
- Open-circuit in SRS ignition cable or connectors between right seat belt tensioner and SRS sensor module.
- Open-circuit in right seat belt tensioner (resistance too high in igniter).

Capacitance too low
- Capacitance too low or open circuit in the SRS ignition cable igniter connector capacitor.

Fault symptom[s]
- No symptoms apart from the SRS warning lamp coming on.

Warning! There is a risk that the seat belt tensioner will not work if this DTC is stored.

Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non deployed pyrotechnical seat belt tensioner. This could deploy the seat belt tensioner!
