      (to No. 2 Side Airbag Sensor Assembly RH)
      *b Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Airbag ECU Assembly)
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      L97-2 (BFR+) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) Below 1 V
      L97-1 (BFR-) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) Below 1 V
    4. Turn the power switch off.
    5. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
    6. Using a service wire, connect terminals 28 (BCR+) and 27 (BCR-) of connector B.
      NOTE:

      Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting a service wire.

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L97-2 (BFR+) - L97-1 (BFR-) Always Below 1 Ω
    8. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.
    9. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L97-2 (BFR+) - L97-1 (BFR-) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      L97-2 (BFR+) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      L97-1 (BFR-) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE FLOOR WIRE 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK NO. 2 SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY RH 
    1. Connect the connectors to the airbag ECU assembly.
    2. Interchange the No. 2 side airbag sensor assembly RH with LH and connect the connectors to them.
