DTC 34-11: Open in Right Side Curtain Airbag Inflator

DTC 34-21: Increased Resistance in Right Side Curtain Airbag Inflator


Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead E 07XAZ- S1A0200

1. Erase the DTC memory.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is DTC 34-11 or 34-21 indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.




4. Disconnect the right side wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side curtain airbag (B).
5. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (2 Ohms connector) and simulator lead E to the right side wire harness,
6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
7. Erase the DTC memory.
8. Read the DTC.

Is DTC 34-11 or 34-21 indicated?
