AIRBAG SYSTEM Trouble in Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Indicator

DESCRIPTION

This circuit detects the airbag cut-off switch status.

The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator comes on to indicate the front passenger airbag status (activated or deactivated).

Tech Tips

Approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON (IG), the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator will indicate ON/OFF depending on the conditions listed below.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

Terminals F14-11 (MSW+) and F14-12 (MSW-) of the airbag sensor assembly in this circuit have an activation prevention mechanism.

This mechanism can be used to check for an open circuit in the wire harness. In case of other checks (check for short, short to ground or short to B+), this mechanism should be released.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK SRS WARNING LIGHT


    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG), and check the SRS warning light condition.

      Tech Tips

      If this trouble occurs, the SRS warning light is off. If it is on, a DTC is stored. Troubleshoot for the stored DTC.

      OK
      After the primary check period, the SRS warning light goes off.

      Tech Tips

      The primary check period is approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON (IG).

  2. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

      CAUTION:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

    3. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the airbag sensor assembly and airbag cut-off switch.

      OK
      The connectors are properly connected.

      Tech Tips

      If the connector is not connected securely, reconnect the connector and proceed to the next inspection.

    4. Disconnect the connectors from the airbag sensor assembly and airbag cut-off switch.

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

      OK
      The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

    6. Check that the short spring for the instrument panel wire connector with the activation prevention mechanism is not deformed or damaged.

      OK
      The short spring is not deformed or damaged.
