WIRING DIAGRAM

C146265E52

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.

Tip:

To perform the simulation method, enter 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 types of roads (Click here).

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG (DRIVER SIDE KNEE SQUIB)

    1. U123065E02

      Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    3. Disconnect the connector from the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag.

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

      CAUTION:

      Never connect the tester to the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag (driver side knee 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.

    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 B1860, B1861, B1862 or B1863 is not output.

      Tip:

      Codes other than DTC B1860, B1861, B1862 and B1863 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

  2. 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 C.

    4. Check that the instrument panel wire connector (on the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag side) is not damaged.

      OK

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