INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

  • w/ Navigation System (for HDD):

    After the ignition switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately a minute to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the ignition switch off, wait a minute or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the center airbag sensor and front airbag sensor LH.

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

    OK

  2. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Disconnect the connectors from the center airbag sensor and front airbag sensor LH.

    2. Check that the connectors (on the center airbag sensor side and front airbag sensor LH side) are not damaged.

      OK
      The connectors are not deformed or damaged.

    NG

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH CIRCUIT

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

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A8-2 (+SL) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V
      A8-1 (-SL) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    5. Using a service wire, connect terminals 30 (+SL) and 28 (-SL) of connector B.

      Note

      Do not forcibly insert the service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting a service wire.

    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A8-2 (+SL) - A8-1 (-SL) Always Below 1 Ω

    7. Disconnect the service wire from connector B.

    8. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A8-2 (+SL) - A8-1 (-SL) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A8-2 (+SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A8-1 (-SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    *1 Front Airbag Sensor RH
    *2 Center Airbag Sensor

    1. Connect the connectors to the center airbag sensor.

    2. Interchange the front airbag sensor LH with RH and connect the connectors to them.

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

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

    5. Clear the DTCs stored in the memory Click here.

    6. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    8. Check for DTCs Click here.
