Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Tundra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disable air bag system. See DISABLING SYSTEM  under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM.
  2. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 9 (circuit SR+, Black/White wire). See Figure. Measure voltage between ground and air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 20 (circuit SR-, Brown/White wire). If voltage in both tests is less than one volt, go to next step. If either voltage is more than one volt, repair or replace wire harness or connector between right front air bag sensor and air bag sensor assembly.
  3. Measure resistance between ground and air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 9 (circuit SR+, Black/White wire). Measure resistance between ground and air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 20 (circuit SR-, Brown/White wire). If resistance in both tests is more than one megohm, go to next step. If either resistance is less than one megohm, repair or replace wire harness or connector between right front air bag sensor and air bag sensor assembly.
  4. Measure resistance between air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 9 (circuit SR+, Black/White wire) and terminal No. 20 (circuit SR-, Brown/White wire). If resistance is more than one megohm, go to next step. If is less than one megohm, repair or replace wire harness or connector between right front air bag sensor and air bag sensor assembly.
  5. Connect jumper wire between right front air bag sensor harness connector terminals. Measure resistance between air bag sensor assembly connector C5, terminal No. 9 (circuit SR+, Black/White wire) and terminal No. 20 (circuit SR-, Brown/White wire). If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If is more than one ohm, repair or replace wire harness or connector between right front air bag sensor and air bag sensor assembly.
  6. Measure resistance across right front air bag sensor terminals. If resistance is 300-1500 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 300-1500 ohms, replace right front air bag sensor.
  7. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds. Connect air bag sensor assembly connector C5 (center connector). Reconnect right front air bag sensor. Connect negative battery cable. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Clear DTCs. See CLEARING CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Wait at least 20 seconds. Retrieve codes. See RETRIEVING CODES  under DIAGNOSTICS. If DTC 15/B1156 or B1157 is displayed, replace air bag sensor assembly. If DTC 15/B1156 or B1157 is not displayed, system is functioning properly at this time. Check for intermittent fault. See AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENT  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
