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 SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (DRIVER SIDE - SIDE 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 connector from the front seat side airbag LH.

4. Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.
  CAUTION: Never connect a tester to the front seat side airbag LH (driver side - side 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 09843-18061
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 B1820, B1821, B1822, B1823 or 55 is not output.
  
  HINT:
  
  DTCs other than DTC B1820, B1821, B1822, B1823 or 55 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.
OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

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 connectors (on the driver side - side squib) are not damaged.
  OK:
  
  Lock button is not disengaged, and claw of lock is not deformed or damaged.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE FLOOR WIRE

OK: Go to next step

CHECK FLOOR WIRE (DRIVER SIDE - SIDE SQUIB CIRCUIT)

Disconnect the connector from the center airbag sensor.
