Is DTC B0096-87 indicated?

YES

Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then go to step 4.

The system is OK at this time.

Shorted wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines to power)

-1. Disconnect the negative cable from the 12 volt battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.

-2. Disconnect the following connectors.

-4. Reconnect the negative cable to the 12 volt battery.

-5. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

-6. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
	SRS unit connector B (57P): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 (on the floor wire harness): jumped
Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 55
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there 0.2 V or less?

YES

The RS1+ and RS1- wires are not shorted to power. Go to step 5.

Short to power in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

Open wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines)

-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

-2. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	SRS unit connector B (57P): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 (on the floor wire harness): jumped
Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 54
Test point 2	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 55

Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

YES

The RS1+ and RS1- wires are OK. Go to step 6.

Open or increased resistance in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

Shorted wire check (RS1+, RS1- lines)

-1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	SRS unit connector B (57P): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2 (on the floor wire harness): jumped
Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 54
Test point 2	Body ground

Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 55
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

YES

The RS1+ and RS1- wires are not shorted. Go to step 7.

Short to ground in the floor wire harness between the SRS unit and the right side impact sensor (first); replace the floor wire harness, then clear the DTC.

Shorted wire check (RS1+ line to RS1- line)

-1. Remove the jumper wire from the right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector on the floor wire harness.

-2. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	SRS unit connector B (57P): disconnected
	Right side impact sensor (first) 2P connector (on the floor wire harness): disconnected
Test point 1	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 54
Test point 2	SRS unit connector B (57P) No. 55

Is there an open circuit, or at least 1 MΩ?

YES
