31 Front Sub Sensor Harness (RH) Circuit Is Shorted

DIAGNOSIS:
- Front sub sensor harness (RH) circuit is shorted.
- Front sub sensor harness (RH) circuit is open.
- Front sub sensor (RH) is faulty.
- Airbag control module is faulty.

CAUTION: Before performing diagnostics on airbag system, turn ignition switch "OFF", disconnect battery ground terminal, and then wait atleast 20 seconds.

5K1: FRONT SUB SENSOR (RH) AND FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION
1. Disconnect connector (AB6) from airbag control module and connect it to test harness I connector (1I).
