PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. A01MH15C01
      *1 Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly LH
      *2 Airbag Sensor Assembly
      *3 Floor Wire

      Turn the power switch off.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and wait for at least 90 seconds.

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH and airbag sensor assembly.

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

      Tech Tips

      If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

    4. Disconnect the connectors from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH and airbag sensor assembly.

    5. Check that the terminals of the connectors are not damaged.

      OK
      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

    6. Check that the floor wire connector (on the curtain shield airbag assembly LH side) is not damaged.

      OK
