DTC 15-1
DTC 15-1: Faulty OPDS Unit Or OPDS Not InitializedNOTE:
- An incorrect OPDS unit can cause DTC 15-1.
- A new (uninitialized) OPDS unit installed with a faulty OPDS sensor can cause DTC 15-1.
- If you install a new OPDS unit and a new SRS unit at the same time, initialize the OPDS manually.
1. Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat.
2. Initialize the OPDS unit.
3. Erase the DTC memory.
4. Read the DTC.
Is DTC 15-1 indicated?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures.
5. Check the No. 9 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - Go to step 9.
6. Disconnect OPDS unit 8P connector D from the OPDS unit (A).
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Check for voltage between the No. 4 terminal of OPDS unit 8P connector D and body ground. There should be battery voltage.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Open in the floor wire harness or OPDS unit harness; replace the faulty harness.
9. Replace the No. 9 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) for 30 seconds, then turn it off.
11. Check the No. 9 (10 A) fuse.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures.
NO - Go to step 12.
12. Replace the No. 9 (10 A) fuse.
13. Disconnect OPDS unit 8P connector D from the OPDS unit (A).
14. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) for 30 seconds, then turn it off.
15. Check the No. 9 (10 A) fuse.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Short to ground in the OPDS unit; replace the OPDS unit.
NO - Short to ground in the No. 9 (10 A) fuse circuit (floor harness, or OPDS harness); replace the affected harness.
16. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
17. Check resistance between the No. 8 terminal of OPDS unit harness 8P connector and body ground. There should be 0 - 1.0 Ohm.
Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Go to step 18.
NO - Open in the floor wire harness or OPDS unit harness, or poor ground (G551). If G551 is OK, replace the faulty harness.
18. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnecting battery negative cable, and wait for 3 minutes.
19. Disconnect both side airbag connectors and both seat belt buckle tensioner 4P connectors.
20. Disconnect SRS unit connector B (18P) from the SRS unit.
21. Check resistance between the No. 3 terminal of SRS unit connector B (18P) and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MOhm.
Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Go to step 22.
NO - Short to ground in the floor wire harness or OPDS unit harness; replace the faulty harness.
22. Check resistance between the No. 3 terminal of SRS unit connector B (18P) and the No. 7 terminal of OPDS unit 8P connector D. There should be 0 - 1.0 Ohm
Is the resistance as specified?
YES - Go to step 23.
NO - Open m the floor wire harness or in the OPDS unit harness; replace the faulty harness.
23. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
24. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
25. Check for voltage between the No. 3 terminal of SRS unit connector B (18P) and body ground. There should be 0.5 V or less.
Is the voltage as specified?
YES - Go to step 26.
NO - Short to power in the floor wire harness or in the OPDS unit harness; replace the faulty harness.
26. Replace the OPDS unit, then initialize the system.
27. Erase the DTC memory, then check for DTC 15-1.
Is DTC 15-1 indicated?
YES - Replace the SRS unit.
NO - The system is OK.
