    CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH CIRCUIT


    1. A01ISX5E02

      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
      A10-2 (+SL) - Body ground Ignition switch ON Below 1 V
      A10-1 (-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
      A10-2 (+SL) - A10-1 (-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
      A10-2 (+SL) - A10-1 (-SL) Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A10-2 (+SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      A10-1 (-SL) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    CHECK FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH


    1. A01IR36E02

      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).
