1. AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION





1) Disconnect connector (AB6) from airbag control unit and connect it to test harness-B connector (8B).
2) Connect battery ground cable and turn ignition switch "ON". (engine off)
3) Measure voltage across connector (5B) terminal and GND.

(5B) Terminal / Specified voltage:
No.2 - Body /10 V, min.

2. AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS INSPECTION

Connector & terminal / Specified resistance:

(5A) No.1 - (5B) No.2/10 Ohms max.

5) Measure resistance between terminals of connectors (5A) and (5B).

(5A) Terminal / Specified resistance:
No.1 - Body /10 K Ohms min.
(5B) Terminal / Specified resistance:
No.2 - Body /10 K Ohms min.
