INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note:
  • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work (Click here).

  • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Click here).

Tip:

To perform the simulation method, enter the check mode (signal check) with the intelligent tester (Click here), and then wiggle each connector of the airbag system or drive the vehicle on various type of road (Click here).

    CHECK STEERING PAD (DRIVER SIDE SQUIB)


    1. A0159JIE03

      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 steering pad.

    4. Connect the white wire side of SST (resistance: 2.1 Ω) to connector E (orange connector).

      CAUTION:

      Never connect the tester to the steering pad (driver 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 SST.

      • Insert SST straight into the terminals of the connector.

      09843-18061
    5. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, and wait for at least 2 seconds.

    6. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

    7. Clear the DTCs (Click here).

    8. Turn the ignition switch off.

    9. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for at least 60 seconds.

    10. Check for DTCs (Click here).

      OK
      DTC B1800, B1801, B1802 or B1803 is not output.
      Tip:

      Codes other than DTC B1800, B1801, B1802 and B1803 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

    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 E.

    4. Check that the spiral cable connectors (on the steering pad side) are not damaged.

      OK
      The lock button is not disengaged, and the claw of the lock is not deformed or damaged.
