INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- Perform the simulation method by selecting the "check mode"
(signal check) with the intelligent tester
(8).
- After selecting the "check mode" (signal check), perform the
simulation method by wiggling each
connector of the airbag system or driving the vehicle on a city or rough
road
1 CHECK FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (SIDE SQUIB LH)

- Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect the connectors from the front seat side
airbag assembly LH.
- Connect the black wire side of SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to
the floor wire.
CAUTION:
Never connect a tester to the front seat side airbag
assembly LH (side squib LH) for measurement, as
this may lead to a serious injury due to airbag
deployment.
NOTICE:
Do not forcibly insert the SST into the terminals of
the connector when connecting.
Insert the SST straight into the terminals of the
connector.
SST 09843-18060
- Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and wait for at
least 60 seconds.
- Clear the DTCs stored in memory (5).
- Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and wait for at
least 60 seconds.
- Check the DTCs
OK:
DTC B0118/46 is not output.
HINT:
Codes other than DTC B0118/46 may be output at this
time, but they are not related to this check.

2 CHECK FLOOR WIRE (SIDE SQUIB LH CIRCUIT)

- Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the
battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect the SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) from the floor
wire.
- Disconnect the connector from the center airbag sensor
assembly.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery,
and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the
table below.
