DTC 44-11

DTC 44-11: No Signal from the Right Side Impact Sensor (first)

Special Tools Required
- SRS inflator simulator 07SAZ-TB4011A
- SRS simulator lead H 07YAZ-S3AA100

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

Does the SRS indicator stay on, and is ore 44-11 indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures. Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures If another DTC is indicated, go to the DTC Troubleshooting Index. Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.
4. Check the connections between the SRS unit connector C (28P) and the SRS unit, between the right side wire harness 2P connector and the right side impact sensor (first).

Are the connections OK?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Repair the poor connections and retest. If the DTC 44-11 is still present, go to step 5.




5. Disconnect the right side wire harness 2P connector (A) from the right side impact sensor (first).
6. Disconnect SRS unit connector C (28P) from the SRS unit.




7. Check resistance between the No. 15 and No. 16 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohm.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Short in the right side wire harness; replace the right side wire harness.




8. Check resistance between the No. 15 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and between the No. 16 terminal and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 Mohm.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Short to ground in the right side wire harness; replace the right side wire harness.

9. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.
10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




11. Check for voltage between the No. 15 terminal of SRS unit connector C (28P) and body ground, and between the No. 16 terminal and body ground. There should be 1 V or less.

Is the voltage as specified?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Short to power in the right side wire harness; replace the right side wire harness.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.




13. Connect the SRS inflator simulator (jumper connector) and simulator lead H to the right side wire harness 2P connector (A).




14. Check resistance between the No. 15 and No. 16 terminals of SRS unit connector C (28P). There should be 1.0 ohm or less.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Faulty right side impact sensor (first) or SRS unit; replace the right side impact sensor (first). If the problem is still present, replace the SRS unit.

NO - Open in the right side wire harness; replace the right side wire harness.
