Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Perform the simulation method by selecting the "CHECK MODE" (signal check) with the intelligent tester (see CHECK MODE PROCEDURE ).
After selecting the "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 CHECK MODE PROCEDURE ).

CHECK CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB)
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Disconnect the connectors from the curtain shield airbag RH.
4. Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.
  CAUTION: Never connect a tester to the curtain shield airbag RH (front passenger stole curtain shield 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 09843-18060
5. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
7. Clear the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
10. Check the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

OK: DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B1838 or 58 is not output.

HINT:

DTCs other than DTC B1835, B1836, B1837, B4838 or 58 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

OK: REPLACE CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY RH

NG: GO to Next Step
CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
3. Disconnect SST from connector C.
4. Check that the floor wire No. 2 connector (on the curtain shield airbag RH side) is not damaged.
OK: Lock button is not disengaged, and claw of lock is not deformed or damaged.

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE FLOOR WIRE NO. 2

CHECK FLOOR WIRE NO. 2 (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN SHIELD SQUIB CIRCUIT)

Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor.
Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch ON.

Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
