Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual: SRS Warning Light Remains ON
DESCRIPTION
The SRS warning light is located in the combination meter assembly.
When the SRS is normal, the SRS warning light comes on for approximately 6 seconds after the engine switch is turned from off to on (IG), and then turns off automatically.
If there is a malfunction in the SRS, the SRS warning light comes on to inform the driver of a problem.
If a malfunction occurs in the airbag sensor assembly, combination meter assembly or wire harness connected to the airbag sensor assembly or combination meter assembly, the SRS warning light comes on.
The SRS is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) in the airbag sensor assembly in case the power source voltage drops.
When the battery voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (DC-DC converter) functions to increase the voltage of the SRS to normal voltage. In addition, when the voltage drops, the SRS warning light will illuminate.
A malfunction in this circuit is not stored in the airbag sensor assembly. The SRS warning light automatically turns off when the power source voltage returns to normal.
The signal to illuminate the SRS warning light is transmitted from the airbag sensor assembly to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.
