INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC (AIRBAG SYSTEM)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for 10 seconds.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Check the DTC of "AIRBAG SYSTEM" Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





B -- GO TO AIRBAG SYSTEM How To Proceed With Troubleshooting
A -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) (GSW SIGNAL)

(a) Remove the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors Removal.





(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Reference Waveform





Result:





B -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR SHORT CIRCUIT)

C -- REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)
A -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR OPEN CIRCUIT)

(a) Remove the center airbag sensor assembly but do not disconnect the connectors Removal.





(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Reference Waveform





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY Removal

4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FOR SHORT CIRCUIT)

(a) Disconnect the J114 DCM (Telematics Transceiver) connector.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY)
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. REPLACE DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER)

(a) Replace the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) Removal.

NOTICE:
* The engine switch must be off.
* Do not swap the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) with one from another vehicle.

NEXT -- PERFORM DCM ACTIVATION DCM Activation

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the J114 DCM (Telematics Transceiver) connector.





(b) Disconnect the J47 center airbag sensor connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
