Troubleshooting Hits
- Improper engaged connector or defective short spring*
- Short circuit between the knee air bag module (squib) circuit terminals
- Damaged connector(s)
NOTE:
*: The squib circuit connectors integrate a "short" spring (which prevents the knee air bag module from deploying unintentionally due to static electricity by shorting the positive wire to the ground wire in the squib circuit when the connectors are disconnected) (Refer to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC/SRS WARNING LIGHT FUNCTION
). Therefore, if connector C-122 or C-33 is damaged or improperly engaged, the short spring may not be released when the connector is connected.
