PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
- Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. If multiple suspected areas are listed, the potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.
- Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.

SLA Linear Solenoid (C1211,C1212,C1225-C1228,C1352,C1353,C1356,C1357)
DESCRIPTION Each solenoid adjusts pressure which affects each wheel cylinder according to signals from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and controls the vehicle. The master cut solenoid is closed and blocks the regulator pressure from the electronically controlled b
SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types
of
severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work
together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
