Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT.

Perform the simulation method by selecting the Check Mode (Signal Check) using the Techstream (See CHECK MODE PROCEDURE ).
After selecting the Check Mode (Signal heck), perform the simulation method by wiggling each connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough road (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM )

CHECK CONNECTORS
1. Turn the engine switch off
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the curtain shield airbag assembly RH and center airbag sensor assembly
  OK: The connectors are properly connected.
  
  HINT
  
  If the connectors are not connected securely, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection

4. Disconnect the connectors from the curtain shield airbag assembly RH and center airbag sensor assembly.
5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged
  OK: The terminals are not deformed or damaged.
6. Check that the floor wire connector (on the curtain shield airbag assembly RH side) is not damaged.
  OK: The lock button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.
7. Check that the short spring for the floor wire with the activation prevention mechanism is not deformed or damaged
  OK: The short spring is not deformed or damaged.
NG: REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

OK: Go to next step
CHECK CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB)
1. Connect the connector to the center airbag sensor assembly
2. Connect SST (resistance 2 1 Ω) to connector C
  CAUTION: Never connect the tester to the curtain shield airbag assembly RH (front passenger side curtain shield squib) for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag deployment.
  NOTE:
  - Do not forcibly insert SST into the terminals of the connector when connecting.
  - Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.
  SST 09843-18061
3. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal
4. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.
5. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR )
6. Turn the engine switch off
7. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds
8. Check for DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR )
  OK: DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B1838, or 58 is not output.
  
  HINT:
  
  Codes other than DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B1838, and 58 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

NG: Go to step 3

OK: REPLACE CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH (See REMOVAL )

CHECK FLOOR WIRE (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB CIRCUIT)

Turn the engine switch off
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds
Disconnect SST from connector C
Disconnect the connector from the center airbag sensor assembly.

Check for a short to B+ in the circuit

Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal
Turn the engine switch on (IG)

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below
