PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTORS

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

*1 Rear No. 1 Seat Outer Belt Assembly LH *2 Airbag Sensor Assembly *3 No. 2 Floor Wire

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

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

(c) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the rear No. 1 seat outer belt assembly LH and airbag sensor assembly.

OK:

The connectors are properly connected.

HINT:

If the connectors are not properly connected, reconnect the connectors and proceed to the next inspection.

(d) Disconnect the connectors from the rear No. 1 seat outer belt assembly LH and airbag sensor assembly.

(e) Check that the terminals of the connectors are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The terminals are not deformed or damaged.

(f) Check that the No. 2 floor wire connector (on the rear No. 1 seat outer belt assembly LH side) is not loose, deformed or damaged.

OK:

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

(g) Check that the short springs of the activation prevention mechanism of the No. 2 floor wire connector are not deformed or damaged.

OK:

The short springs are not deformed or damaged.

REPLACE NO. 2 FLOOR WIRE

OK

2.	CHECK REAR NO. 1 SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Connect the connector to the airbag sensor assembly.

*1 Rear No. 1 Seat Outer Belt Assembly LH *2 Airbag Sensor Assembly *a Front view of wire harness connector (to Rear No. 1 Seat Outer Belt Assembly LH)

(b) Connect SST (resistance 2.1 Ω) to connector C.

CAUTION:

Never connect a tester to the rear No. 1 seat outer belt assembly LH for measurement, as this may lead to a serious injury due to pretensioner deployment.

SST: 09843-18061

(c) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(e) Clear the DTCs stored in memory.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Clear DTCs

(f) Turn the engine switch off.

(g) Turn the engine switch on (IG), and wait for at least 60 seconds.

(h) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > SRS Airbag > Trouble Codes

OK:

DTC B1925, B1926, B1927 or B1928 is not output.

HINT:

Codes other than DTCs B1925, B1926, B1927 and B1928 may be output at this time, but they are not related to this check.

(i) Turn the engine switch off.

(j) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:

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

(k) Disconnect SST from connector C.
