Restraint Systems

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 at least 20 seconds.

5K1: FRONT SUB SENSOR (RH) AND FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION

2. Measure resistance between test harness H connector (3H) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance between 750 Ohms and 1 kOhms?

YES: Go to step 5K5.

NO: Replace front sub sensor (RH).

5K5: FRONT SUB SENSOR (RH) INSPECTION

Connector & Terminal (3H) No.3 (+) - Chassis Ground (-):




Measure resistance across test harness H connector (3H) terminal and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 kOhms?

YES: Go to step 5K6.

NO: Replace front sub sensor (RH).

5K6: FRONT SUB SENSOR (RH) INSPECTION

Connector & Terminal (3H) No.4 (+) - Chassis Ground (-):

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 kOhms?

YES: Go to step 5K7.

NO: Replace front sub sensor (RH).


5K7: FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION

1. Connect test harness I or I2 connector (1I) and connector (AB6).
2. Disconnect connector (AB16) from front sub sensor (RH) and then test harness H connector (1H) and connector (AB16).

Connector & Terminal (3I) No.2 - (3H) No.5:




3. Measure resistance between test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and test harness H connector (3H) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 5K8.

NO: Replace front sub sensor harness (RH) and airbag main harness.

5K8: FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION

Connector & Terminal (3I) No.4 - (3H) No.6:




Measure resistance between test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and test harness H connector (3H) terminal.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Go to step 5K9.

NO: Replace front sub sensor harness (RH) and airbag main harness.

5K9: FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION

Connector & Terminal (3I) No.2 (+) - Chassis Ground (-):




Measure resistance across test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 10 kOhms?

YES: Go to step 5K10.

NO: Replace front sub sensor harness (RH) and airbag main harness.

5K10: FRONT SUB SENSOR HARNESS (RH) INSPECTION

Connector & Terminal (3I) No.4 (+) - Chassis Ground (-):




Measure resistance across test harness I or I2 connector (3I) terminal and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 10 kOhms?
