WIRING DIAGRAM





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* If troubleshooting (wire harness inspection) is difficult to perform, remove the front passenger seat installation bolts to see the under surface of seat cushion.
* In the above case, hold the seat so that it does not fall down. Holding the seat for a long period of time may cause a problem, such as seat rail deformation. Hold the seat only as necessary.

NOTICE:
Do not forcibly insert a service wire into the terminals of the connector when connecting.

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

Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK FLOOR WIRE NO. 2 (OPEN)
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CIRCUIT (SHORT)

(a) Disconnect the service wire from connector B.





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

Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK FLOOR WIRE NO. 2 (SHORT)
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CIRCUIT (SHORT TO GROUND)

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





Standard resistance:





NG -- CHECK FLOOR WIRE NO. 2 (SHORT TO GROUND)
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. RECHECK DTC

(a) Connect the connectors to the occupant classification ECU and the center airbag sensor assembly.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

(d) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
