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 Check Mode (Signal Check) using the Techstream (See CHECK MODE PROCEDURE )
After selecting Check Mode (Signal Check), 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 front seat outer belt 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 front seat outer belt 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 front seat outer belt 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 FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE PRETENSIONER 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 front seat outer belt assembly RH (front passenger side pretensioner 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 B1905, B1906, B1907, B1908, or 74 is not output.
  
  HINT
  
  Codes other than DTC B1905, B1906, B1907, B1908, and 74 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check
NG: Go to step 3

OK: REPLACE FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY RH (See REMOVAL )

CHECK FLOOR WIRE (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE PRETENSIONER 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.

Standard Voltage

Check for an open in the circuit.

Turn the engine switch off
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
P6-1 (R+) - P6-2 (R-)	Always	Below 1 Ω

Check for a short to ground in the circuit.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
P6-1 (R+) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher
P6-2 (R-) - Body ground	Always	1 MΩ or higher

Check for a short in the circuit.

Release the activation prevention mechanism built into connector B (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
P6-1 (R+) - P6-2 (R-)	Always	1 MΩ or higher

NG: REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
1. Restore the released activation prevention mechanism of connector B to the original condition
2. Connect the connectors to the front seat outer belt assembly RH and the center airbag sensor assembly
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 )
