Pre-tensioners
The right hand pretensioner is controlled by the DCU on N and NR wires.
The left hand pretensioner is controlled by the DCU on O and OU wires.
SRS warning lamp When the starter switch is operated to position II, the warning lamp (located on the instrument panel) receives battery voltage from fuse A4 on a W wire and a control signal from the airbag control unit on a P wire. The warning lamp will illuminate when the electrical circuits are initialised while the system performs a self-diagnosis test. If the system finds no fault during self diagnosis the warning lamp will extinguish after approximately 6 seconds.
In the event of a fault in the system the warning lamp will illuminate continuously or fail to illuminate during the self diagnosis test.
