DTC 92-2x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F): Open or Short to Ground in the Passenger's Airbag Cutoff Indicator ('06-08 models)

NOTE:

This DTC can be set if the key is turned on when the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator is unplugged.
Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General Troubleshooting Information (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES) ).

Clear the DTC memory (see CLEAR THE DTC MEMORY WITH THE HDS ).
Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off/;
Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 92-2x indicated?

YES -Go to step 3.

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES . If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.
Check the connection between the dashboard wire harness 7P connector and the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator.
Clear the DTC memory.
Check for a DTC.
Is DTC 92-2x indicated?

YES -Go to step 6.

NO -Repair the poor connections and retest. If DTC 92-2x is still present, go to step 6.
Check the No. 21 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?

YES -Go to step 7.

NO -Replace the fuse, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the fuse blows again, check for a short in the No. 21 (7.5 A) fuse circuit (dashboard wire harness).
Disconnect the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator 7P connector.

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Go to step 10.

NO -Open in the dashboard wire harness; replace the dashboard wire harness.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes.
Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 7 ).
Measure the resistance between the No. 3 terminal of the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator 7P connector and the No. 20 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P). There should be 0-1.0 Ω.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Go to step 13.

NO -Open in the dashboard wire harness; replace the dashboard wire harness.
Measure the resistance between the No. 20 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P) and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1MΩ.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Check for a faulty SRS unit or passenger's airbag cutoff indicator; replace the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator. If the problem is still present, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).l

NO -Short to ground in the dashboard wire harness; replace the dashboard wire harness.
