Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 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 Techstream (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 FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP)
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect the connector from the front passenger airbag.
- Connect SST (resistance 2.1 O) to connector E.CAUTION: Never connect a tester to the front passenger airbag (front passenger side squib 2nd step) 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 09843-18061
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Clear the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Check the DTCs (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR
).
OK:
DTC B1815, B1816, B1817, B1818 or 54 is not output.
HINT:
DTCs other than DTC B1815, B1816, B1817, B1818 and 54 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
OK: REPLACE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
NG: Go to next step
- CHECK CONNECTOR
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) from connector E.
- Check that the instrument panel wire assembly connectors (on the front passenger side airbag) are not damaged.
OK:
Lock button is not disengaged, and claw of lock is not deformed or damaged.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SQUIB 2ND STEP CIRCUIT
- Disconnect the connector 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.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connection Specified Condition Z2-2 (P2+) - Body ground Below 1 V Z2-1 (P2-) - Body ground Below 1 V - Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

OK: REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
NG: Go to next step
- CHECK INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE
- Restore the released activation prevention mechanism of connector B to its original position.
- Disconnect the instrument panel wire connector from the instrument panel wire assembly.
- 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.
