| Step |
Check |
Yes |
No |
1 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS. Check for poor contact of the connectors between the airbag control module and the driver's airbag module. |
Is there poor contact? |
Replace the airbag harness. |
Go to step 2
. |
2 CHECK DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE.
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
- Remove the driver's airbag module.
- Connect the connector (1N) in the test harness N to the connector (AB38).
- Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2N) of test harness N.
- Connect the connector (1Q) in the test harness Q to connector (AB37).
- Connect the airbag resistor to the connector (2Q) in the test harness Q.
- Connect the battery ground terminal and turn the ignition switch to ON.
|
Does the airbag warning light illuminate for six seconds and go off? |
Replace the driver's airbag module. Refer to
DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE
. |
Go to step 3
. |
3 CHECK ROLL CONNECTOR AND AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (DRIVER'S AIRBAG HARNESS).
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
- Remove the console front panel and disconnect the connector (AB9).
- Disconnect the airbag resistor from the connector (2N) in test harness N and from the connector (2Q) in test harness Q.
- Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from the airbag control module, and connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG.
NOTE:
For sedan models, connect test harness AH between the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) and (1AG).
- Measure the resistance between connector (2Q) terminals in test harness Q.
Connector & terminal
(2Q) No. 1 - (2Q) No. 2:
|
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? |
Go to step 5
. |
Go to step 4
. |
4 CHECK AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS (DRIVER'S AIRBAG HARNESS).
- Remove the instrument panel lower cover and column cover, and disconnect the connector (AB7) from (AB2).
- Measure the resistance between connector (3AG) terminals in test harness AG.
Connector & terminal
(3AG) No. 1 - (3AG) No. 3:
|
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? |
Replace the roll connector. Refer to
ROLL CONNECTOR
. |
Replace the airbag main harness along with body harness. |
5 CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE.
- Connect all connectors.
- Clear the memory.
- Perform the Inspection Mode.
- Read the DTC. (Current malfunction)
|
Is the same DTC displayed? |
Replace the airbag control module. Refer to
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
. |
Go to step 6
. |
| 6 CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY. |
Is any other DTC displayed? |
Check DTC using "List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)". Refer to
LIST OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . |
Finish the diagnosis. |
